'House of the Dragon' is getting more interesting with each passing episode and fans are only getting more intrigued as Alicent has been seen hating on Rhaenyra out of sheer jealousy. However, there has been a time lapse yet again and we see how Rhaenyra gave birth and Alicent got another reason to hate on Rhaenyra and plot against her. This time the character went a little too dark than any of the fans anticipated as she rose a seemingly racist concern about the complexion of Rhaenyra's children, and well Ser Criston Cole's views changed on the woman he once wanted to marry. Lastly, the fans-favorite Matt Smith's Daemon Targaryen was seen busy in his own world with his wife, Laena.

Alicent was seen calling Rhaenyra "desperate," and "vindictive". It seemed like quite the irony as she is seen not resting at all until she gets a taste of a bit of vengeance or success of the plans she is plotting against Rhaenyra. However, that is not it as fans noticed it and stopped at nothing to point out Alicent's "pettiness" as every passing week it is only increasing. Read more to know what the fans have to say.

After the episode aired fans could barely keep calm and were seen blowing up Twitter expressing their true feelings regarding the series. A fan said, "I know she did not just call Rhaenyra’s sons plain featured when her son out here looking like this #HouseOfTheDragon". A fan mentioned, "Alicent seeing all of Rhaenrya’s children… #HouseOfTheDragon" while another added, "I don’t I understand why Alicent is so mad at Rhaenyra. You f**ked her dad! #HouseOfTheDragon #hotd". One individual wrote, "I love seeing Alicent frustrated because she's not getting what she wants, try again next week b**ch #HouseOfTheDragon". "The audacity to say she didn't want any of that to happen and try to play the victim card, not in this house Alicent, absolutely the f**k not #HouseOfTheDragon," said a user. "I see Alicent is already on her bulls**t not two minutes into the episode #HouseOfTheDragon," a fan added while another wrote, "Alicent blaming the brunette squad when we KNOW Aegon is the lead bully #HouseOfTheDragon". 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 

It is only a matter of time before Alicent will initiate a proper war move against Rhaenyra, as the series time frame suggests. However, fans are also heartbroken over Laena's death as she commands her dragon to kill her as she has an awful miscarriage by the end of the episode. Does that mean in the next episode viewers will get to see some romance stirring between Daemon and Rhaenyra again or will that be postponed for another episode? We suppose only time will tell. 

Until then, you can watch the latest episode of 'House of the Dragon' on HBO, and HBO Max, or you can stream it on Disney+ as well. 'House of the Dragon' returns to HBO with a new episode every Sunday at 9 pm EST.
