House of the Dragon Season 1 Episode 8 Recap:

Due to Corlys’s poor health, Rhaenys is pushing for one of her grandchildren to take the throne, but Vaemond is adamantly opposed to the idea. Rhaenys also wants to take the throne for herself.

Because of this, everyone travels to King’s Landing, where it appears that Otto will make the decision because Viserys is unwell.

Both Daemon and Rhaenyra decide to visit their ailing king at his hospital bedside and share their stories with him.

The king is overjoyed to learn that they have been successful in having children, and the royal family has a wonderful moment together.

Rhaenyra is concerned about the future of the throne in Driftmark, so she suggests to Rhaenys that they should encourage the children to marry in order to secure the position of the throne in that location.

Rhaenys is aware that Rhaenyra is having difficulty adjusting to her diminished power.

Viserys show up at the event for the throne, and Rhaenyra can’t help but interrupt him repeatedly. Viserys responds by declaring that he will have Vaemond’s tongue after Vaemond refers to her as a whore.
