Recap

Six months have passed and all eyes are on Viserys and his actions (or lack thereof).

Corlys wants him to send an army to fight back against the pirates, but he's scared to delcare war.

His thinking? You don't have to declare war unless you have to.

Corlys believes that you have to know when to go into the storm.

Questions about Rhaenyra being heir to the throne are causing a lot of problems for everyone.

Rhaenys and Corlys try to get Viserys to marry their 12-year-old Laena to help produce more male heirs to the throne.

Rhaenyra is frustrated when she witnesses their first meeting, and Rhaenys makes comments about no one allowing a woman into power.

You could cut the tension with a knife.

Daemon sends the King an invitation to his wedding and that reveals he stole the dragon egg and dragonstone.

Otto leads a team to get some answers, but he refuses to stand down.

Rhaenyra shows up on her dragon and has it out with her uncle, takes the dragon egg, and returns home.

Viserys is mad.

Alicent continues to get close to Viserys and Corlys is blindsided when he announces her as his soon-to-be Queen.

Corlys turns to Daemon to strike up a short-term alliance.

House of the Dragon Season 1 Episode 2 Quotes

Rhaenys: It bothers you, right?
Rhaenyre: My father is the King. He must remarry and strengthen the bloodline.
Rhaenys: I asked if you mind.
Rhaenyra: Laena is your daughter.
Rhaenys: Does that bother you?
Rhaenyra: Clear. But I understand the order of things. I doubt this is your case. If your intention was to arouse my anger, know that you have failed, princess.
Rhaenys: On the contrary. Let it be my daughter or someone else, your father will have a new wife. .. will generate new heirs... And one of them will inevitably be a boy. When he comes of age, you will be considered the heir to the throne, not you. Because that's the order of things.
Rhaenyra: Once queen, I will disturb you.
Rhaenys: I wish it were possible. But the kingdom could have appointed a queen to the Great Council of Harrenhal. He rejected the idea.
Rhaenyra: They rejected you, Princess Rhaenys "The Queen Who Wasn't" Not the idea of ​​a female queen, in fact those same men bowed to me.
Rhaenys: And do you remember them bringing them the wine? Here's the hard truth that no one dared to tell you. Men would give fire and blood to the kingdom instead of seeing a woman rule. Your father is not naive. The Select Council urges me to remarry.
Rhaenyra: The kingdom asks for a new queen. A kind and generous queen will reassure her subjects.

"It is with pleasure that I, Daemon Targaryen, Prince of Dragonstone and rightful heir from the Iron Throne, I inform you that I am about to have a second wife, as in the days of ancient Valyria. Will take the title from Lady Mysaria of Dragonstone. Your Grace is pregnant. Also, a dragon egg will be placed in the crib, as tradition dictates from House Targaryen."
