Why the Alicent-Rhaenyra reunion scene was added in Episode 3
Director Geeta Patel explained that the decision to bring Alicent and Rhaenyra together again was very purposeful. In an interview, she mentioned that it was important for the protagonists to confront each other, making the moment feel monumental. This meeting was designed to build suspense and highlight the complex dynamics between the characters.
“It was very purposeful that you have this moment where your protagonists actually confront each other. It was important to the writers to have Rhaenyra and Alicent bring it home and be the spine of the season, because that’s the spine of the first season: these two women’s relationship.
