A plotline jump of 10 years and it has only become more brutal!
Waking up to an eventful new episode of House Of The Dragon has only brought more heartbreak for fans. The opening of the latest episode is poignant as the grown up Rhaenyra is seen to be in immense labor, ready to give birth.
Soon after the birth of her third son Joffrey, she is summoned by Queen Alicent with her newborn son to examine the parentage. This denotes the shift of political dynamics between the two ladies and how that will lead to the unfolding of the events inching towards the impending civil war.

Episode 6 titled The Princess And The Queen has a lot to offer. Despite a run time of 1 hour and 7 mins, it feels like an eternity passing by with so much information to soak in at one go.

(Spoiler Alert: Dear subjects, consider yourself warned!)
In a nutshell, we see an ailing Viserys who will go to any lengths to stand by his daughter Princess Rhaenyra even if that means going against his wife Queen consort Alicent. The parentage of Rhaenyra¡¯s brunette-headed sons becomes crystal clear which further leads to more chaos over the succession.
Viserys is hellbent to turn a blind eye towards it all and continues to root for his first born daughter Rhaenyra's claim to throne. Alicent, on the other hand, instills the greed for the throne in her son Aegon, who¡¯s only focus at present is physical pleasure - self-provided or otherwise. Aemond is rueful about not having a dragon to himself and finds himself a laughing stock courtesy his own brother Aegon and Rhaenyra¡¯s sons Lucerys and Jacaerys.

Parallely, rogue Prince Daemon has indeed taken Princess Laena Velaryon as his wife and is now a proud father of two beautiful girls with another offspring on the way. Together, they have become travellers who reside in Pentos at the moment with no inclination to return to their homeland, much to the dismay of Laena who longs to return to Driftmark. However, her dream remains unfulfilled as she welcomes death on her own terms.

The Strong family goes through family politics of their own. Hand to the King, Lyonel Strong becomes a victim of his younger son Larys' scheming and plotting. Unfortunate decisions lead to painful deaths of the Hand and his older son Ser Harwin which are condemned by the Queen, on the surface at least.
Rhaenyra finally decides to take the plunge and secure her family by moving out of King¡¯s Landing and shifting base to Drangonstone with her supportive husband Laenor and his lover Qarl (a knight who will play a very important role in the upcoming episodes) by her side.

not alicent pretending to have morals saying "decency will prevail" and 2 minutes later she's screaming violently at her son for not being hungry for power and forcing him to hate rhaenyra's sons just like she does ?

This scene is so good, Alicent instilling her fears into Aegon the same way Otto did to her. Aegon was getting along just fine with Jace and Luke earlier, but that generational trauma runs deep and divides them #HouseOfTheDragon pic.twitter.com/jXgBOaMMSR

Someone really needs to tell Viserys that he is *the king* and if he thinks Jace/Helaena is a good match he can just make that happen. Don't need Alicent's permission #HouseOfTheDragon pic.twitter.com/rwSaUMWCca
