Spoilers ahead for the Season 2 finale of “House of the Dragon.” Khaleesi is back. In the Season 2 finale of “House of the Dragon,” there’s an unexpected cameo from a major “Game of Thrones” character: Daenerys Targaryen.
Well, sort of. Daenerys was born around 200 years after the events of this show. And, Emilia Clarke didn’t return.
So, how did Daenerys appear without the actress, during the era of her ancestors? Here’s what happens. All season long, Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) has been having wild dreams / visions. In the Season 2 finale, he has a vision that includes seeing the White Walkers, the Three-Eyed Raven, Daenerys’ three dragon eggs and Daenerys herself at the end of “Game of Thrones” Season 1 (where she’s naked, emerging from fire unburnt, with her three newly born baby dragons crawling on her).
Her back is to the camera, so if it was really Clarke, they’d show her face. Nevertheless, it’s unquestionably Daenerys that Daemon is seeing in his vision. She will be born over a hundred years in the future, but at least one of her ancestors is already seeing her.
In the vision, Daemon also sees himself submerged into a large body of water, he glimpses his niece/wife Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) sitting on the Iron Throne, and he sees Rhaenyra’s half-sister, Helaena Targaryen (Phia Saban), who tells him, “It’s all a story and you’re but one part in it. You know your part. You know what you must do.
” This vision helps Daemon – who.
