"Alicent is feeling very alone. She feels she doesn't have a real partner in her life, even her father. She feels her father has pushed her to the place she's in. And she can't hear her own voice. She can't feel her own heart beating. So when Rhaenyra enters, that's what she wants. She wants the love in her life, and it's a bit of a love story in a way, of these two women."
—Geeta Patel, Director of House of the Dragon, 1x08
