...and that's a wrap on Milly Alcock (Rhaenyra Targaryen) and Emily Carey (Alicent Hightower), who have played their roles to perfection these past five weeks and as they pass the baton to Emma D'Arcy (Rhaenyra Targaryen) and Olivia Cooke (Alicent Hightower), it's about to get very heated in the House of the Dragon.
With King Viserys (Paddy Considine) ailing, both the Princess and the Queen will begin to make their respective moves in order to ensure their chosen heir ends up on the Iron Throne, and as book readers are well aware, things are going to get very, very messy in the back half of the season.
The latest promo doesn't reveal too much, of course, but we do get some idea of how the dynamic between Rhaenyra and Alicent has evolved over the past decade, and don't expect it to get better anytime soon as we inch closer and closer to the Dance of the Dragons.
