On HBO's Game of Thrones spin-off, a question of succession turns the show into Succession.

Rhaenys's Turn: : Daemon , Rhaenyra , Rhaena and Jace listen to Rhaenys . As everyone should, always.Rhaenys's Turn: : Daemon , Rhaenyra , Rhaena and Jace listen to Rhaenys . As everyone should, always.So it all comes down to my gal Rhaenys, here. As well it should: Homegirl is the only one who's been paying any attention. She warned Rhaenyra that the realm would never accept her, she warned Corlys that their children were in danger; she's the freaking Oracle of Driftmark.

Turns out they get their wish, just a bit later than expected. The king's ruling has incensed Vaemond, and he goes full"Say it," whispers Daemon, like he's at a midnight screening of"[Rhaenyra's] children ... are ...The king rises unsteadily to his feet."I'll have your tongue for that," he says., and unceremoniously lops off Vaemond's head just above the lower jaw.

Various toasts get toasted, during which Aegon the Aess taunts Jace, in case you didn't hate him enough. Though of course it's a fair assumption that you already do hate him enough, as the show just keeps throwing more wood on the roaring bonfire that is Aegon's repulsiveness. "Beware the beast beneath the boards," says moony, abstractly prophetic Helaena, so file that away for later. She then toasts her brother-husband Aegon's lack of sexual interest in her, which you know ... hear, hear. I'd hope we can all drink to that.You've got a Best Man already? Call Aemond when you need a Worst Man.We then get a brief interlude wherein the practiced familial politesse seems to drop, and starts to shade into something more real.

Down in King's Landing, on the Street of Silk, a spy from the Red Keep arrives to inform Mysaria about the drama at the castle.ailing, Viserys. In a milk-0f-the-poppy haze, the king believes himself to be continuing a conversation he began earlier with Rhaenyra. He talks of Aegon the Conqueror, and the dagger, and the prophecy of The Prince That Was Promised. Alicent, however, believes him to be talking about their son, Aegon the Aess., he says, thinking he is speaking to his daughter.

No Ser Larys? Really? We spend all this time at the Red Keep, and we don't catch a glimpse of him lurking in one lousy doorway? Skulking through a single patch of shadows? Leering over a shoulder or two? You'd think he'd at least be hiding behind an arras while all that uncle-on-nephew violence was going on. Guy lives for that kind of dirt.
