'House of the Dragon' Blood and Cheese Storyline: Everything to Know (Including What's Changed From the Book)

'House of the Dragon' introduced a brutal development in the war between the Blacks and the Greens in Sunday's season 2 premiere.

The disturbing scene concludes with Blood and Cheese violently holding down the tiny Prince Jaehaerys Targaryen as the camera pans away to a distressed but stoic Helaena grabbing her daughter and fleeing the room. Helaena makes her way to the room of her mother, Queen Alicent (Olivia Cooke), who is amid the throes of passion with her secret lover, Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel). The style of Martin's telling has allowed show writers plenty of room for creative liberties, expanding throwaway details into fully formed plots, developing characters and relationships, and even inventing jaw-dropping new scenes over the last season.
