Olivia Cooke looking tearful as Alicent in House of the Dragon Season 2
The Big Picture Season 2 of House of the Dragon starts with a bang in the premiere, "A Son for a Son." As always, a lot of blood is spilled and a lot of plotting and scheming is done, but one of such plots is particularly interesting. When Prince Aemond Targaryen is debating strategy with Ser Criston Cole , he mentions that his mother, Alicent Hightower , "speaks with two tongues.
The book Fire & Blood never clarifies what exactly happened between Rhaenyra and Cole, but House of the Dragon takes this liberty. Then the Crown Princess, she playfully gets him to sleep with her, which he is reluctant to do at first, but eventually gives up. Knights of the King's Guard are supposed to be chaste, and Cole breaks his oath for the first time then.
In the Season 2 premiere, Alicent has a conversation with Otto about how they can continue to maneuver her children in the context of the upcoming conflict with Rhaenyra's faction. They see Alicent's eldest son, Aegon , as a puppet king, and Aemond as an angry loose canon. But the conversation itself isn't necessarily about how the two boys can serve Hightower interests, but rather about Alicent feeling undermined by Otto and fearing to lose her influence over them.
