The Dragonpit Episode 10: The First Dance
The episode starts and ends around the painted table as the Blacks prepare for war. Rhaenys brings news that Aegon has been crowned queen. Under the stress, Rhaenyra goes into labor and gives birth to a still born as Daemon prepares for war. At the funeral for Rhaenrya’s child, Ser Erryk arrives with King Viserys’s crown and Daemon crowns her queen. Otto then arrives on Dragonstone to give terms for surrender – Daemons is not having it, but Rhaenrya might consider. Corlys arrives and Rhaenys convinces him to support Rhaenrya’s claim. As they start to consider additional allies, Jace and Luc are sent out with messages to potential allies in Storm’s End and the Eyrie. We see Daemon singing to the dragons as the blacks know their biggest advantage are the dragons and they need more. Luc arrives on Storm’s End to a hostile Borros Baratheon who swears allegiance to Aegon. Instead of leaving it, Aemond chases Luc on dragonback. Vaghar doesn’t listen to Aemond and kills Arrax and Luc – killing the first Targaryen in the dance of the dragon.
