Matt Smith and Emma D'Arcy standing close together in House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 2
The Big Picture House of the Dragon Season 2, Episode 2, "Rhaenyra the Cruel," has many critical moments, from Aegon dismissing Otto to the death of the Cargyll twins . But one that is hard to ignore is the argument between Rhaenyra and Daemon that dredges up old resentments from Season 1 while creating a dangerous rift between the Queen and her consort as war breaks out.
House of the Dragon TV-MA 810 The reign of House Targaryen begins with this prequel to the popular HBO series Game of Thrones. Based on George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood, House of the Dragon is set nearly 200 years before Game of Thrones, telling the story of the Targaryen civil war with King Viserys.
Daemon certainly made poor choices , but he did love his brother, which shows through in Season 1. Daemon never actively challenged Viserys' leadership, despite his impertinence. Nor did Rhaenyra's role as heir ever cause him to initiate a war, though, as he says, she was raised to humble Daemon. But Daemon is still hurt by his brother publicly implying that he is unfit for the crown and choosing Rhaenyra over him.
Rhaneyra not only knows there is more to his choice than avoiding Daemon, but she pinpoints one of the major arguments that Viserys never outright said. Viserys never fully trusted Daemon. In Season 1, Daemon is hurt that Viserys chose Otto Hightower as the Hand to the King rather than him, but Viserys never considers making his brother Hand. Yet the biggest sign of the lack of trust between the brothers is the Prophecy of Ice and Fire.
