When Rhaenyra says she doesn’t want marriage, he explodes, telling her even he isn’t above that duty. The king raises his voice when he tells her that he’s drowning in a sea of marriage proposals for her hand. Viserys thinks it’s a fine match, but she calls Jason “arrogant and self-serious.” Viserys gets in a nice burn, telling her they have that in common. She confronts her father in the tent, accusing him of trying to marry her off. It takes her a moment, but Rhaenyra just figured out who put him up to this. “Or lady-wife,” he says, all but twitching his eyebrows suggestively to get across that yes, he’s totally hitting on the future queen. He’s not being especially smooth when he offers to build a dragon pit there to accommodate his queen. Jason offers her some Lannisport wine in a small goblet and talks up Casterly Rock.

The carriage arrives in a tent city set up near the woods where people are gathered and applauding for the king’s arrival. Viserys says this is all part of her duties. She says she’s not a fan of screaming boars. Viserys invites his daughter to join the hunt they’re going on. She looks like she’d rather ride a slow dragon straight to hell. Marrying your best friend’s dad doesn’t scream “Bestie.” In the awkward carriage ride that follows, Viserys proclaims that Rhaenyra will soon have kids of her own and make him a proud grandpa. Try as she might, Alicent isn’t going to win her friend back anytime soon. Alicent tries her best to get her stepdaughter to join the party. Alicent wants Rhaenyra to join them as they head out of the hunt, but she’d rather sit and read and disobey by having Samwell do the opposite of what Alicent wants. The bard stops playing until the princess, who doesn’t look any older than when we last saw her, tells him to continue. This is Westeros for “Spotify on repeat.” Queen Alicent, holding her belly with both hands, comes by to check on her former best friend, now stepdaughter. He concludes, and Rhaenyra insists he play it again. She’s chilling under the Godswood Weirwood Tree reading a book while a bard named Samwell plays a song about dragons on a lute. Viserys is just trying to get a chicken leg here, can’t everybody leave him alone? Viserys just wants to know why Rhaenyra’s not here. Try the pig ears, they’re extra crispy!

Alicent Hightower, mother of Aegon, is there and very pregnant. It can wait another three days.” Daemon has been flying his tired dragon and taking arrows in the chest for three years? That might be the second-worst job in Westeros next to Royal spell-checker. Meanwhile, a messenger is trying to deliver bad news from The Stepstones, but Viserys, a big smile plastered on his face, isn’t having it. Hobert tells Otto that today’s a big deal it’s Aegon’s birthday, they’re having a big hunt, and it seems certain that Viserys will backtrack and name the boy his heir over the previously announced Rhaenyra. We’ve time-jumped ahead three years, as Otto Hightower exposits, lamenting to a man he calls “Brother” from out of hearing range that the potential heir to the throne likes to eat porridge with his hands.

The dragon does a little more burninating the countryside and the people before retreating. Why not make a nice bisque? Pirates shoot flaming arrows, and one of them hits Daemon in his armored chest. Daemon says he’s going to feed Crab Feeder to his own crabs, which seems uninspired. This dragon is set to Broil on the top rack. How bad is the dragon fire? One spectacular shot shows a guy running away and being burned off his own feet. The plunderers seek shelter in nearby caves while Daemon rides atop the dragon Caraxes, trying to find the Crab Feeder. The nailed man is delighted as the dragon spits fire but is tragically stomped by the creature, going from crab-fed to dragon-stomped. Just as the Crab Feeder senses that something is off, a dragon lights up the sky with fiery death. The crabs feel otherwise and start crawling up toward the man’s face. One nailed man promises the Sea Snake will avenge this brutality. He’s got his strange metallic face mask and very scabby, unmoisturized skin beneath. It’s nighttime and a whole ship burns as people loot little treasure chests.
