The Dragonpit Episode 2: Hard Truths

After the sudden death of Queen Aemma, King Viserys is left with the challenge of finding a new bride to perpetuate the royal line and bring security to the kingdom. Trouble is brewing in the Stepstones where a pirate called the Crabfeeder is causing havoc for the Master of Ships and the richest man in the kingdom – Lord Corlys. The Crabfeeder is not Lord Corlys’s only problem as he is also trying to wed his 12 year old daughter to the king. Finally, Daemon is being a real asshole and claiming to be the heir by taking up on Dragonstone with a foreigner. When Daemon steals a dragon egg, Otto Hightower has the dumb idea he’ll get it back by asking nicely, but Rhaenyra swoops in and saves the day. The episode ends with King Viserys saying he’ll marry Alicent Hightower. Enraged by this, Lord Corlys goes to make an alliance with another “second son”, Daemon Targaryen.
