Rhaenyra’s choice
After a teenage Princess Rhaenyra sneaks out of the castle for a night of debauchery with Daemon—which almost results in niece and uncle hooking up (don’t bother clutching your pearls, they get married later in the season)—she returns home hot and bothered and decides doing the deed with her sworn-chaste-but-willing bodyguard, Ser Criston Cole (Fabian Frankel), is the next-best thing. Many House of the Dragon characters make impulsive choices that have negative reverberations over time, but Rhaenyra’s horny mistake is near the top of the “bad idea” list.
