‘House of the Dragon’ season 2 episode 2 was probably the most stretched-out one after an impactful opening. Spoilers ahead! The episode titled ‘Rhaenyra the Cruel’ witnessed the greens arrange a funeral procession after Aegon and Helaena Targaryen’s son Jaehaerys was beheaded by Blood and Cheese. Dressed in black veils, the princess along with Queen Alicent step out the castle doors only to be met with an anxious interaction with the realm. 

The scene is difficult to watch as the young prince’s body has been stitched to the head which was secured with Blood being detained and tortured by Aegon. As the cart is stuck on the mucky road, one can sense the discomfort of Helaena and Alicent.
