House of the Dragon fans have been left stunned by a 'twisted' scene involving Matt Smith's Daemon (Image: HBO/Sky) House of the Dragon enthusiasts were left utterly gobsmacked by a 'twisted' scene that unfolded in the second series. The HBO hit's fifth episode of season two delved deep into Daemon Targaryen's psyche, with Matt Smith delivering a haunting performance. Daemon is tormented by eerie hallucinations of his deceased mother, Alyssa Targaryen, portrayed by Emeline Lambert.
These apparitions delve into Daemon's desperate yearning for affection and validation, his tangled emotions towards his niece Rhaenyra, and the trauma of his mother's early death. The hallucinatory sequence includes Laena Velaryon offering wine and introduces a silver-haired woman who turns out to be Daemon's mother Alyssa, who refers to him as her "favourite son". In a shocking twist, Daemon envisions himself in an incestuous encounter with Alyssa, leaving viewers reeling.
The unexpected nature of the scene caught many off guard, as they had anticipated a different familial interaction involving Daemon with either Viserys or Aemma. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
