If you’re still recovering from THAT incest scene in the latest episode of House of the Dragon and need something to take your mind off it then same. Luckily for us, one fan noticed some really sweet hidden symbolism in the final scene between Jace and Rhaenyra which is hopefully enough to distract us.
So obviously Jace spends most of the recent episode with the Freys at the Twins, trying to gain an alliance for his mother. But when he returns, he and Rhaenyra discuss the need for more dragon riders, and Jace points out that Targaryens have been marrying into other Houses for generations, so there are probably some relatives with Valyrian blood scattered around the realm who could potentially claim dragons of their own.
But, one fan on Reddit has actually explained that there is a really cute hidden meaning in the scene. They said: “There’s something poetic about Jace suggesting they look into bastards as potential riders in a conversation with his mom. I feel like he was trying to say it without saying the word but they were both on the same wavelength in the end. Like ‘yo Mom if I can ride, then maybe others…’”
Now obviously, Jace’s father by blood is Harwin Strong, though officially he’s the son of Laenor Velaryon. His parentage makes him a bastard in the eyes of Westerosi law.
People were lapping up the theory in the replies with one person saying: “That went right over my head on first watch. I appreciate this scene a lot more now,” and honestly same.
Another fan added: “I was disappointed that he didn’t bring up himself and his brothers on first watch but you make a very good point. I imagine it’s taboo to admit to being a bastard even behind closed doors.”
Shedding more light on the scene, another comment reads: “Me too. I was wondering what he was going on about, given that the only children of Jaehaerys that had legitimate kids are Viserys and Daemon’s parents, Aemma’s mom, and Rhaenys’s dad, and that the only sibling of Jaehaerys other than his wife to have kids ended up with her two respectively becoming a septa and dying as a preteen in a horrible international joyriding mishap. That makes a lot more sense.”
