Episode 7 of HouseOfTheDragon ended with a bang, but what actually happened to Laenor Velaryon? We break down that ending.
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Episodes 1-7 of House of the Dragon.Leave it to House of the Dragon to end an episode with a massive plot twist. Episode 7 set up many things for the future of the Dance of Dragons, making it a turning point in the series. Mourning the loss of Laena Velaryon , the whole family is brought together in Driftmark to attend her funeral.
Does Laenor Die? In order to marry Rhaenyra, Laenor must be out of the picture, but does that mean that he dies? For many fans of the book Fire & Blood by George R. R. Martin, Laenor's death has been written in the stars for a long time. During his conversation with Rhaenyra, he confesses that he has not been the perfect father to their children and promises to be a better father and husband in the future.
How Does Laenor Survive? It is not revealed until the last scene that Laenor not only survived Qarl's attack but is sailing off with him, his head now shaven to hide his Valyrian heritage. But how did they get there? When Rhaenyra and Daemon are speaking, she tells him that she loves Laenor, and Daemon tells her to grand him a kindness and set him free. What initially sounds like a cruel kindness, is actually a reality.
But knowing that Laenor does not die, things begin to fall into place. Knowing that Qarl loves Laenor means that he can be trusted with the plan, and we can tell that their dialogue before their fight is a little off when Qarl says, "You have always looked down on me," with the audience having seen no evidence of that.
