The miscommunication trope rears its ugly head during a historic family reunion.
, which aired last night, has sealed the fate of King Viserys Targaryen and opened hell's floodgates for his surviving family members. The consequences of Episode 8 will set the stage for the Dance of the Dragons, which will pit Targaryen against Targaryen in a bitter bid for the Iron Throne.
Rhaenyra attempts to make an alliance with Rhaenys, offering to marry her sons, Jacaerys and Lucerys to Rhaenys's granddaughters, Baela and Rhaena so long as Rhaenys supports Luc's claim to Driftmark. Later that night, Alicent attends to an ailing Viserys in bed. Delirious, Viserys mistakes Alicent for Rhaenyra from the previous night, telling her that he does believe in the Prince that was Promised from Aegon's dream. Alicent, unaware of the prophecy, believes that Viserys is referring to their firstborn son, Prince Aegon , taking the Iron Throne after his death. At last, she leaves Viserys, and the king takes one final breath.
"You wanted to know if I believe it to be true," Viserys says to a confused Alicent. "Aegon ... His dream. The Song of Ice and Fire. It is true what he saw in the North. The Prince that was Promised."
