It appears that Alicent is becoming increasingly aware of Aemond’s sinister plans as she tries to stop him. As a mother, she already feels that she has failed to instill kindness and empathy in her sons and Aemond’s actions keep fueling her regret.

Fans are eagerly waiting to see how Daemon defeats his visions and comes out victorious. He needs to get his thoughts in order to win the war and help Rhaenyra claim the Iron Throne. Moving out of Harrenhal might offer Daemon some respite.

Aemond comforts Halaena

This will be one of the very few instances where we see these siblings interact with each other. Up till now, we have only seen Halaena lost in her thoughts and Aemond focused on his motives. This particular still hints at something more poignant as Aemond appears to be comforting her.
