As episode 6 of House of the Dragon lands on Hotstar today, it has taken social media by storm. With new faces, along with many old ones, the storyline has taken a sharp turn and become more intense.

Last we saw, Rhaenyra Targaryen getting married to Laenor Velaryon. We also came to know that the health of King Viserys I had deteriorated, and he fell to the ground during the nuptials. Read what interesting turns took place in the new episode. Spoilers ahead.

Rhaenyra Is A Mother Now

The new episode starts with Rhaenyra giving birth to her son, and soon after, Queen Alicent Hightower sends help to request the immediate presence of the newborn. Rhaenyra dresses up and takes the child herself to meet her estranged friend and stepmother.

Laenor names him Joffrey. Viserys says that the newborn has a nose that looks like his father, whom he presumed was Ser Laenor. The couple exchanged glances before Laenor asked if they should take leave as the princess was tired.

By the gate, Alicent mentioned to the prince that if he tried hard enough, sooner he would have a child that would look like him, pointing out he was not the father.

Rhaenyra and Laenor return to their chamber, where their two older sons have already chosen a dragon egg for Joffrey. Ser Harwin, the Commander of the Knight’s Watch, was present with them. He asked to get acquainted with the newborn while Laenor and the older sons leave.

Daemon Married Laena Velaryon

In a competition to show whose dragon was better, Daemon and Laena were seen riding their dragons. In the courtyard, Prince of Pentos, Ser Riggio, presents them with an irresistible offer - gold for dragons.

Daemon agrees to consider the offer, while Laena is not pleased with it. She wants to stay at her father’s place, wants her kids to grow as she did, and wishes to die the death of a dragon rider.

Ser Harwin & Ser Criston Indulge In A Fight

While Ser Criston is on Alicent’s side, he is also the teacher for King and Rhaenyra’s sons. However, he seems to teach only Aegon and Aemond.

Seeing it, Ser Harwin points out that a teacher must bestow each of his disciples with similar knowledge. Criston puts Jacaerys, Rhaenyra’s eldest against Aegon, Alicent's eldest.

While the King’s firstborn emerges a winner, Ser Criston remarks that Jace might be Harwin’s son. Hearing this, the two get into a fight. Later, Rhaenyra learns of the issue and fears that the truth might soon turn into a big problem for her and her sons.

Rhaenyra Proposes Marriage Of Her Son

In the conference with the King and his counsel, Rhaenyra Targaryen proposes that her son Jacerys be wed to Alicent and King’s only daughter. She said that the two houses would become allies.

However, this did not settle well with the Queen, and in a conversation with Viserys, she said that his daughter was desperate to hide her treachery to which he always turns a blind eye.

Laena Dies

In another scene, Laena was shown in labour. However, she couldn't give birth. Her attendant suggests that a blade cut was the only way to relieve her of the misery, however, it was clear that neither the mother nor the child would have survived it.

Laena asks her dragon to burn her. It resisted but ultimately did carry out the command he was given.

Ser Harwin finds himself stuck in a room burning with fire. He was shouting when his father, Hand of the King, tries to help him out. Cut to the next morning, there were multiple burn victims. Frightened Alicent says that the two of them were dead.

Ser Larys declares that he only fulfilled the Queen’s command. Alicent says that she never wished or commanded any such thing to happen.

It will be another episode of House of the Dragon until we learn how many bloodlines will burn in future. Episode six was just the beginning of the tossing and turning of politics in the realms under King Viserys I.
