Episode 2 has just been released, and Rhaenyra’s brutal beheading of Ser Otto Hightower has fans gasping as they predict the future of the characters. Acclaimed actors, Emma D’Arcy (who plays Rhaenyra) and: Olivia Cooke (who plays Alicent Hightower), destroy the reactions and drop hints about the course, because the interaction of the characters did not materialize as expected.Here’s a closer look at the breakdown of ‘House of the Dragon Season 3’ by Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke.
Olivia Cooke admits Alicent Hightower has a lot going on
In the recently released episode, Rhaenyra returns to King’s Landing and seeks to claim the Iron Throne. With Daemon’s encouragement, he brutally killed Otto Hightower. Meanwhile, Alicent Hightower walks into the room to see her father lying on the ground and Rhaenyra sitting on the throne. Commenting on the moment, actress Olivia Cooke told PEOPLE, “There’s a lot Alicent doesn’t understand,” before adding, “[She] don’t know what happened.“While Alicent doesn’t think so far, Cooke believes the character’s arc is set to evolve. “I think she was like, okay, I made this bargain with Rhaenyra,” he said, and continued, “It felt like a public display of this assertion of power. I think Alicent was like, ‘Okay, well, f*** you.’
Emma D’Arcy believes that Rhaenyra is subject to the horror of violence
For the final moments of the episode, Emma D’Arcy believed that Rhaenyra had crossed a line, but the powerful position demanded it. “I think there is an important point that the show makes about the rulers of any kind insulated from their acts of violence. And in this moment, Rhaenyra’s not insulated. In fact, she is subject to the kind of viscerality and horror of violence,” the actress stated, adding, “I think there is a threshold that gets crossed for better or for worse at that moment, for better or for worse at that moment.“‘Dragon House Season 3’ continues with weekly releases on JioHotstar.
