We’re back in the Red Keep, half a year later. From the beginning, this show is dealing in different time horizons than does “Game of Thrones”. So far, it works…mostly. We’ll get to the problem later. The new status quo is quickly established. Daemon has installed himself as Prince of Dragonstone, and Viserys refuses to act against him. Only when Daemon also steals a dragon egg and proclaims a marriage to his paramour, with whom he claims having a child – the inciting incident of the episode – is he finally willing to act. Otto keeps him from going himself – it’s dangerous, you see – and goes in his stead.
