Let’s Talk About These “House Of The Dragon” Episode 7 Interesting Moments

1.

Although Laena wanted to die a dragonrider’s death and had Vhagar “Dracarys” her in last week’s episode, her body was officially laid to rest the Velaryon way, by being returned to the sea.

2.

During the funeral ceremony, Vaemond mentions the Merling King, a god from whom the Valaryons claim they received the Driftwood Throne. Vaemond also says the Velaryons’ blood “must never thin” while staring right at Rhaenyra and her children, a clear reference to the fact that they’re not Velaryons — which is quite rude, tbh, especially during Laena’s funeral.

3.

Last week, Helaena correctly predicted that Aemond would “close an eye” for a dragon, and this week we hear her muttering, “Hand turns loom; spool of green, spool of black; dragons of flesh weaving dragons of thread.”

4.

As Aegon and Aemond discuss, Alicent has had Aegon and Helaena betrothed.

5.

Viserys accidentally calls Alicent “Aemma.”

6.

Aemond commands Vhagar with “Dohaeras,” which means “serve” (remember “Valar Dohaeras” or “All men must serve” from Game of Thrones?).

7.

The dagger Alicent attacks Luke/Rhaenyra with is, of course, the “catspaw” dagger.

8.

Corlys and Rhaenys protect both Rhaenyra’s and Daemon’s children during the fight between Alicent and Rhaenyra.

9.

The aftermath of the fight draws a clear line between the greens and the blacks.

10.

Laenor perhaps planted the seeds for the plan to “kill” him when he told Rhaenyra, “You deserve better than what I have been. You deserve a husband.”

11.

The body burned in place of Laenor is seemingly the servant Daemon attacks in the Hall of Nine.

12.

Daemon and Rhaenyra have a Valyrian wedding ceremony.
