The Dowager Queen is never far from the drama, as we saw in last night's episode of the HBO and Max Game of Thrones prequel.
House of the Dragon season two has only dropped two episodes so far, but both Team Green and Team Black have already been through the emotional wringer as the Dance of the Dragons heats up. At the center of the maelstrom is Alicent Hightower ; as the Dowager Queen and mother of King Aegon II, she’s one of the most powerful people in Westeros, but that doesn’t mean she has any sense of control.
“I think Aemond and Aegon specifically hold the mirror to the elements of herself that she despises,” Cooke said about Alicent’s reaction. “And I think his vulnerability in that moment, and his ineffectiveness, just repulses her. It really does. I think she sees everything that’s weak in him incredibly weak—and she’s trying to get a lid on—in herself. I think that was it. But he’s grieving as well, and she doesn’t want to be confronted with that so immediately.
