‘House of the Dragon Season 3’ is stealing the spotlight on the Internet, with dramatic edge-of-the-seat plot twists and unprecedented deaths. Episode 2 was released recently, and the brutal beheading of Ser Otto Hightower by Rainer left fans gasping while predicting the future of the characters. Acclaimed actresses, Emma D’Arcy (who plays Rahenira) and Olivia Cooke (who plays Alicent Hightower), break down the reactions and drop hints about the course, as the characters’ reunion doesn’t go as expected.Here’s a closer look at Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke’s ‘House of the Dragon Season 3’ breakup.
Olivia Cooke claims Alicent Hightower has a lot to process
In the recently released episode, Rainaira returns to King’s Landing and seeks to acquire the Iron Throne. Encouraged by Daemon, he beheads Otto Hightower. Meanwhile, Alicent enters Hightower’s room to find her father lying on the ground and Raina sitting on the throne. Commenting on the moment, actress Olivia Cooke told People, “There’s a lot that Alicent doesn’t understand,” before adding, “[She] I don’t know what happened.“Although Alicent hasn’t been practically brainstorming so far, Cook believes the character’s arc is going to evolve. “I think she’s just like, well, I made this deal with Reynara,” she said, and continued, “It seems like a very public display of this assertion of power. I think Alicent is just like, ‘Okay, okay, you.’
Emma D’Arcy believes Reneira is a victim of the horrors of violence
For the final moments of the episode, Emma D’Arcy believes that Reina has crossed a line, but the strong position demands it. “I think there’s an important point that the show has made about any type of rulers refraining from their violence. And at this point, Renee is not immune. In fact, she’s the subject of the visibility and horror of that kind of violence,” the actress revealed, adding, “I think there’s a threshold that can be crossed for that moment or worse.“‘House of the Dragon Season 3’ continues to release weekly on JioHotstar.
