Daemon (Matt Smith) has been on a unique journey inHouse of the DragonSeason 2.
But the visions of Laena are different than the previous ones.
How Does Laena Appear to Daemon?
The reign of House Targaryen begins with this prequel to the popular HBO seriesGame of Thrones.Based on George R.R. Martin’sFire & Blood,House of the Dragonis set nearly 200 years beforeGame of Thrones, telling the story of the Targaryen civil war with King Viserys.
The question gets a reaction from Daemon, but not the anger that usually accompanies these visions.
Daemon stops, likely thinking of his daughters for the first time in a while.
Though Laena disappears shortly afterward, her words stick with Daemon.
During a time of war, that truth is elevated.
Currently, Baela and Rhaena are undeniably on Rhaenyra’s side, and the Greens know it.
In fact,as Daemon makes more enemies for himself, he puts a target on Baela and Rhaena.
But Rhaena is powerless.
Buthis relationships with Baela and Rhaena are different.
It’s not fair to call this dynamic simple.

However, they have never been Daemon’s opponents.
During their marriage, Laena acknowledged that she was not the wife that Daemon wanted.
But with his daughters, Daemon cannot twist the issues into their fault.
Whatever tension in these father/daughter relationships exists is from shortcomings on Daemon’s part.
If she learned what Daemon was doing, Baela would undoubtedly have thoughts.
Meanwhile, Rhaena is different.
Daemon needs his daughters because they are uniquely qualified to save him in a way Rhaenyra simply cannot.
