All eyes were on the second sons of Westeros in the longest episode of the series so far.
was a quiet, yet powerful 71 minutes that prepared the viewers for the civil war to come in the final two installments of the season. The longest episode of the series, “The Lord of the Tides” threw a lot of information at us. We got another round of aged-up actors , a newly religious Red Keep, an almost dead Corlys, and a finally dead Viserys. Throughout all of this drama and intrigue, however, a slightly surprising group rose to the top: the second sons.
incapacitated in episode eight, the second sons had a chance to shine. And since they likely won’t get an opportunity like that again, it seems only fair to take this opportunity to discuss this usually forgotten group.Up until now, we haven’t seen much of Vaemond, though what we did see was telling. He clearly has a bit of a complex when it comes to his authority in Driftmark and in the Velaryon family.
While Corlys himself has said that he wants Rhaenyra and Laenor’s “son” Lucerys Velaryon to inherit Driftmark, Vaemond fights back. Yes, Luke is a child, but he’s alsoa fact that absolutely disgusts the blond-headed Vaemond. And though speaking of such rumors is considered treason in Viserys’ Westeros, Vaemond has no issue running his mouth to everyone who will listen.
Like Daemon, Aemond remains mostly in the background during this episode, but it’s his reactions that inform us of what is to come from this character. Throughout the petitions for the Lord of Driftmark, Aemond stands behind his family with a smirk plastered on his face, and when Daemon slices Vaemond’s head in half, Aemond’s smile only grows larger, clearly intrigued by his uncle.
