Summary
Alicent Hightower is intelligent, resilient, and deeply driven by duty, faith, and family. She often tries to do what she believes is right, but her fear, ambition, and desire to protect her children lead her into increasingly difficult and morally gray decisions. Alicent is a skilled political player who hides strong emotions behind a calm and composed exterior. Alicent Hightower’s relationships are shaped by loyalty, duty, and conflict. She was once the closest friend of Rhaenyra Targaryen, but misunderstandings, political pressures, and competing claims to the throne transformed their friendship into a painful rivalry that defined much of their lives. Alicent was devoted to King Viserys and spent years caring for him, though their marriage was more a matter of duty than love. She is fiercely protective of her children, especially Aegon, Helaena, Aemond, and Daeron, and many of her decisions are motivated by a desire to secure their safety and future. Her relationship with her father, Otto Hightower, is complicated, as she often follows his guidance while also struggling against his influence and expectations. Throughout her life, Alicent forms alliances with powerful figures at court, but the constant political intrigue and betrayals of King’s Landing leave her questioning who she can truly trust. She loves her children but she offered up Aegon to Rhaenyra in exchange for ending the war and keeping Helena safe. She opened the gates so Rhaenyra and Daemon could enter Kingslanding and take the throne.
Alicent folded her hands before her, her expression calm despite the tension in the room. “I have spent my life doing what was expected of me—serving my king, honoring my family, and protecting my children. I will do what must be done to ensure the safety of those I love, and if that makes me your enemy, then so be it.”
As King’s Landing begins to fall, Alicent works behind the scenes to ensure the city offers as little resistance as possible, knowing that continued fighting would only lead to more death. Her focus is largely on safeguarding Helaena and the innocent people caught in the conflict rather than preserving her own power. Throughout the episode, she is forced to confront the consequences of the choices she made years earlier, including supporting Aegon’s claim to the throne. When Rhaenyra and her forces successfully take King’s Landing, Alicent’s efforts seem to have helped avoid a massacre, but the victory quickly turns tragic. She and Helaena are taken into custody, and upon entering the throne room, Alicent discovers that her father, Otto Hightower, has been executed. The scene begins with her shocked, devastated, and furious, realizing that the fragile trust she placed in Rhaenyra may have been shattered forever.
At the end of an unplanned orgy between Ben, Rhaenyra, Daemon, and Mysaria, a big portal opened which sucked Daemon and the still very horny Mysaria into it. Rhaenyra was sad Daemon was gone but Ben comforted her. They held hands and kissed and then they too got sucked in the portal. They woke up in a room together in kings landing in the future. They opened their eyes to the face of Maester Pycelle. They find out they’re 196 years in the future and Joffrey Baratheon is king. During this time was the War of the 5 Kings. Stannis had recently been defeated at the battle of the black water. The defense of Kings Landing was led by Tyrion. Robb Stark had chased the Lannisters from the Riverlands, leaving only Gregor Clegane who was being hunted by Robb and the Rogue Lightning Lord (Beric) and his men. Renly was dead, Balon had declared was and was raiding villages, Tywin was back in Kings Landing because he came to fend off Stannis, brining with him the Tyrell’s including Loras and Margaery. Across the narrow sea Dany and her dragons were growing stronger.
Alicent was captured by Rhaenyra and then was sent out to lure Aemond in. When Aemond and Alicent realized this might be their last time in this world Aemond started kissing her and then they had sex. Alicent was wary at first but then she loved it. When Aemond tried to leave, Vermithor, Seasmoke, Silverwing, and Caraxes killed Vhagar, sending it plummeting to the ground. Ben was sent out by Rhaenyra to find them. I found Alicent and Aemond lying naked in a cave. In exchange for his freedom I gave Alicent to my guards and let them all fuck her in front of Aemond. But I didn’t keep my promise and took them both back to Rhaenyra anyway. He was very unhappy about that and vowed revenge for himself and his mother.
Alicent let Rhaenyra into the Red Keep and allowed Rhaenyra to sit the throne. But before Alicent could leave she was captured and used as bait to get Aemond and Vhagar. When Alicent was sent out to lure him in they realized this might be their last time in this world so Aemond started kissing her and then they had sex. Alicent was wary at first but then she loved it.
