House of the Dragon – season 2: a horrible death at the end of episode 1
The end of episode 1 of season 2 of House of the Dragon is worthy of a thriller. Daemon sneaks through the alleys of King’s Landing to task a soldier and a rat hunter from the royal palace to find Aemon and kill him. For hard cash, the two men comply and discreetly explore the mazes of the palace on a stormy night. They search for Aemond but in vain. The rat catcher ends up landing in the bedroom of Aegon and Helaena’s children, whom he threatens with a knife. The soldier and the rat catcher decide to kill the royal couple’s eldest son – Jaehaerys – in front of his mother. Facing the young child and his twin, they ask the queen to name her son. Off-screen, we hear the atrocious sound of the decapitation of the child whose head is taken away by the soldier to prove his mission accomplished… in shock, Helaena, with her daughter Jaehaera in her arms, rushes into Alicent’s room which she surprises in complete intimacy with Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel).

In George RR Martin’s book, the murder scene differs slightly. Helaena brings her three children (the twins and youngest son Maelor) to Alicent’s chambers to wish her goodnight. The killers murder the guards and force Helaena to choose which of her sons they will kill. Helaena asks them to kill her and leave her children, but when one of the killers threatens to rape Jaehaera, the queen ends up naming Maelor. The villains nevertheless end up decapitating Jaehaerys.
