House of
the Dragon Episode Five ending explained one wedding and some funerals there is
no doubt a war is imminent. After spending the majority of its first five
episodes laying the groundwork for future conflict. house of the dragon is now
halfway through. This restraint starts to pay off drastically in Episode Five,
not least for its extremely patient viewers who are probably wondering just
when the heck things would start to burst off. This episode not only represents
the series is halfway point but also serves as the catalyst for the ensuing
Civil War.
The conflict will be over succession much like Game of Thrones before it and it comes after a wedding at which royal blood was shed. Classic, simply classic. So far house of the Dragon has skilfully straddled the line between independent drama and story counterpoint to its predecessor. King Robert Baratheon was gored and delivered to the grave at the end of the Royal hunt and Game of Thrones, serving as the primary catalyst for all subsequent events. Three seasons later at his wedding, his son Joffrey is poisoned SPOILER ALERT ahead, although it's been like 10 years by this point, so this one's on you. The movie house of the Dragon also depicts a royal hunt in which King Viserys who is old and unwell tries to kill a stag and foreshadows unrest in the realm and then a wedding. If the hunt didn't make a game of thrones viewer nervous a wedding certainly will and this time the inevitable seems to have occurred. The throne is finally up for grabs. the other paramours when the episode begins Daemon Targaryen wife is off hunting in the veil. To her disgust, a covert Daemon she encounters, reveals himself. She insults Daemons in capacity and he tosses her off the horse crushing her. He then strikes her with a rock.
We move
from a healthy prince to a dying king as follows on the bow of his ship King Viserys
is seen throwing his food overboard. the Royal Fleet is making its way to the
Iron Islands where Viserys intends to marry Princess Rhaenyra. Viserys meets
with Corlys when clearly unwell. He makes the marriage suggestion which Corlys and
Rhaenys both except. later they agree in a private conversation that the King
has come to them out of weakness and that they might be in a better position to
control the situation. However, Rhaenys worries about leaners real nature and
tells Corlys that Rhaenyra is claimed to the throne would be contested as soon
as the king passes away. Corlys rejects this by claiming that since the two
most potent armies in Westeros will be united by marriage, no one will stand in
their way.
The
children discuss sex while the parents chat about marriage. Rhaenyra and lienor
converse about marriage arrangements while using analogies including taste. It
is obvious that neither adolescent wants the other. The only reason they will
marry and have kids is out of obligation to the realm. outside of the marital
bed They will look out for themselves. Rhaenyra will continue to see her Kings
guard. sir Kristen Cole, while leaner will continue to see his boyfriend,
Fabian Frankel. Their efforts to simultaneously safeguard freedoms and pursue
power amounted to a sort of abdication of royal duty. Later evidence disproves
the possibility of either of these two scenarios, which is violently inaccurate.
on the boat back to King's Landing. Cole makes the suggestion that he and Rhaenyra
leave together and wait outside the realm for shadowing this dispute. Rhaenyra
laughs this off and informs Cole, they may still see each other even if she
marries leaner, explaining that she cannot leave the kingdom since she is the
crown. This idea hurts Cole because he sees it as an affront to their
relationship and a stain on his reputation. He moves on foot investigator queen
high tower in the meantime, Queen Alicent Hightower, having recently lost her
position as Hand of the King bids her father Otto high tower farewell back at
the Red Keep. as a result of her believing Rhaenyra his version of the night,
she spent with Daemon he claims the king also trusted her Rhaenyra. This makes
are those allegations seem like a rumour and a cunning attempt to discredit her
near and support his grandson's throne claim.
Otto
warns Alicent that she must pick aside since the king is dying and Rhaenyra his
throne claim would lead to war, endangering Alicent son in the king's firstborn
son. For the rest of the episode, Alicent struggles to choose will she support
her friend Rhaenyra or move against her to protect her child?
Later, Alicent
meets with Larry strong, the new hand of the king's son in the courtyard. He
uses a cane to walk, as do many mettlesome characters and power seekers for
ableist reasons. After hearing a report that master gave Rhaenyra a potion the
night following the Daemon incident. Larry's inquires of the queen as to her
health. Alicent, who is visibly disturbed is unaware of this. The Plan B potion
would show the Rhaenyra did pair with Daemon which would imply that she had
lied to Alicent was unreliable. Otto was correct and that the Queen should
oppose her old ally.
One wedding several funerals the king laments his unremarkable rain the night before the wedding and wonders if he would have been a different person and leader had he been tested. his demise is now as certain as visitors from all around the realm arrive, the supper is held without the queen. The ceremonies that followed such as the supper and dance, seem to port and all future strife and alliances. The seating arrangements come first. Rhaenyra and house Velaryon are seated to the kings left. Corlys used to sit across from the King nearly an opposition now he is associated with the crown. to the kings right sit the hand as per usual and also Daemon who appears in a dramatic solo entrance, having recently made himself a viable bachelor. Also on the right is the Queen's chair, though she has not yet appeared and house high tower seated below. both paramours Cole and Rhaenyra’s boyfriend stand across from one another embodying the tangled affections of those in attendance. When the Queen does appear, she interrupts the King's Speech. She wears green, a sign of war and sits to the kings right the same side as Daemons she has chosen to also oppose Rhaenyra. now the dance, Rhaenyra and leaner perform what is assumed to be a traditional waltz thing, though appears like a sword fight. We get it, war is coming. The other guests then join in the dance and we see just how tangled and confused alliances will become. Daemon moves into dance with Lena Velaryon and the two seem to flirt. Their marriage would dramatically change the power balance the to sit across the table from each other Leana’s family supporting Rhaenyra, Daemon supporting himself. Daemon then moves to dance with Rhaenyra. This is when everything starts to blow up. Of course, it is Daemon who incites this. At the same time leaners boyfriend confronts Cole telling him that he knows the arrangement and that both must protect their partners.
Cole is despondent as he begins to see just how
impossible such an arrangement will be. When Daemon begins to aggressively
touch Rhaenyra, Cole moves into stop it. So does leaners man and the to begin
fighting. Rhaenyra and Lena are pushed aside signalling their lack of control
over the consequences of their union. and Cole then beats leaners boyfriend to
death. leaner than crawls over to the body and screams making their secret
relationship now not so secret. leaner and Rhaenyra are then married in a
private ceremony as cold goes into the courtyard to kill himself. Alicent stops
him just as Rhaenyra is wed, then the king collapses. What happens next? Well,
it's a phrase as old as anything in Westeros you'll just have to tune in next
week.
