House of the Dragon (Season 1 Episode 10) Out of 5 Fully Dismembered Dragons Darryl: 3.75/5 Brian: 4/5 Season 1 Out of 10 One-Eyed Ball-less Dragon Riders Darryl: 7.5/10 Brian: 7.25/10 Title: “The Black Queen” Directed by: Greg Yaitanes Written by: Eileen Shim Release Date: October 23, 2022 Summary On Dragonstone, Princess Rhaenys announces King Viserys’s death and that Prince Aegon usurped the throne. Shocked, Rhaenyra goes into premature labour and suffers a stillbirth. Prince Daemon, believing Viserys was murdered, urges war. Ser Erryk brings Viserys’ crown and Rhaenyra is declared queen. Ser Otto presents Aegon’s terms for Rhaenyra’s concession; she prevents Daemon from killing Otto and delays answering. Privately, Daemon is angered that Rhaenyra may concede to unify the realm against the threat foretold by Aegon the Conqueror’s dream. Rhaenys persuades Lord Corlys to pledge House Velaryon’s allegiance to Rhaenyra’s “Black” faction; Daemon plans to recruit more dragonriders, and awakens the large dragon Vermithor. Rhaenyra sends Princes Jacaerys and Lucerys as envoys to secure Houses Arryn, Stark, and Baratheon as allies. Lucerys meets with Lord Borros Baratheon, who refuses to support Rhaenyra, saying she offered him nothing. Prince Aemond is also present, who, under Aegon’s arrangement, would marry Borros’ daughter. Aemond demands an eye from Lucerys as retribution. Lucerys leaves on his dragon, Arrax, but Aemond pursues him on Vhagar. The fractious dragons defy their riders’ commands; Arrax burns Vhagar; incensed, Vhagar kills Lucerys and Arrax, stunning Aemond. Daemon informs Rhaenyra of Lucerys’ death.
