Six years on, Corlys Velaryon, Lord of the Driftmark, is severely wounded fighting in the Stepstones. His brother, Ser Vaemond, petitions King's Landing to name him as Corlys' heir, proclaiming Rhaenyra's son, Lucerys illegitimate. Rhaenyra and Daemon return to the capital to defend Lucerys' claim. They find King Viserys is bedridden, disfigured, and his mind muddled. Queen Alicent and Ser Otto Hightower now oversee all royal duties. When Prince Aegon rapes a handmaiden, Alicent covers it up.
Upon Ser Vaemond's arrival at the Red Keep, Rhaenyra proposes an arrangement to gain Princess Rhaenys' support. She also implores Viserys to defend her succession, quoting Aegon the Conqueror's dream about the Prince That Was Promised. Ser Vaemond presents his petition at court. Viserys, barely ambulatory, enters the throne room and declares Lucerys the Driftmark heir. Enraged, Vaemond calls Rhaenyra's children bastards; Daemon beheads him.
During a feast, the family appears to mend their differences. After Viserys leaves, Aemond incites a fight with a veiled insult against Rhaenyra's three oldest sons. Later, Viserys, near death, mutters parts of Aegon the Conqueror's dream, mistaking Alicent for Rhaenyra; Alicent believes he means their son, Aegon.

House of The Dragon Episode 7 Breakdown, Driftmark #spoilers #GameOfThrones Recap & Record Podcast
3 RecommendationsKing Viserys and his court attend Lady Laena's funeral in Driftmark. Rhaenyra and Daemon reunite and are physically intimate. Prince Aemond claims Vhagar as his dragon, leading to an altercation with his cousins and nephews in which Lucerys slashes Aemond's eye with a Valyrian steel knife. Viserys denies Queen Alicent's demand that Lucerys' eye be gouged out as retribution.
When Alicent attempts to attack Lucerys, Rhaenyra blocks her; Alicent stabs Rhaenyra's arm in a struggle. After claims that Rhaenyra's children are bastards, Viserys decrees that anyone questioning their legitimacy will be silenced. Reinstated as Hand of the King, Otto Hightower tells Alicent they will soon prevail. Rhaenyra and Daemon unite against Alicent and her supporters.
Ser Qarl Correy apparently murders Laenor, with Princess Rhaenys and Lord Corlys believing that the found charred body is their son's. Meanwhile, Daemon and Rhaenyra are privately married in the Old Valyrian tradition to continue the pure Targaryen bloodline. Following his faked death, Laenor, his head shaved, secretly flees Driftmark with Ser Qarl.

1 RecommendationsAfter King Viserys' death, the Small Council plots to crown Prince Aegon as king. Ser Criston kills Lord Beesbury when he objects to Rhaenyra being usurped, while Lord Commander Harrold Westerling resigns. Ser Otto delays announcing Viserys' death to fortify the council's position and he demands the nobles' fealty. Queen Alicent fails to gain Princess Rhaenys' support and keeps her captive.
When Otto has Kingsguards brothers Ser Erryk Cargyll and Ser Arryk Cargyll search the city for Aegon, while Alicent sends Criston and Prince Aemond. Mysaria, possibly the White Worm, informs Otto that Aegon is hiding in the Grand Sept. The Cargylls nab Aegon, but loses him to Criston and Aemond after a fight. Lord Larys Strong warns Alicent of Mysaria's spies within the Red Keep, including her Lady-in-Waiting; she has Larys burn Mysaria's house. Aegon has no desire to rule, but Alicent convinces him otherwise.
Meanwhile, King's Landing citizens are herded into the Dragonpit, where Otto announces Viserys' death and crowns Aegon as king. After Ser Erryk frees Rhaenys, she enters the Dragonpit dungeons for her dragon Meleys. Astride Meleys, she breaches the hall, causing devastation and confronting the royal usurpers; she spares them and leaves on dragonback.
