The line spoken at the end of the preview by Rhaenyra, which goes like, “Horrors I have just loosed cannot be for a crown alone” is making a lot of fans believe that Rhaenyra will finally tell the ‘Song of Ice and Fire’ to Jace as he is her heir, but that is to be found out in the upcoming episode.
Ryan Condal said in an interview about ep10 that TG doesn’t know about the prophecy/only Rhaenyra has that burden of the knowledge for now. I feel like she’ll def tell Jace since he’s her oldest and heir but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see 🤷♀️

The preview has also led some fans to compare the House of Dragon episode with that of Game of Thrones due to the similarity of names as well as the spinoff factor.
The upcoming episode ‘Dance of Dragons’ will finally showcase the start of the Civil War between the two rival groups, Blacks and Greens.
Does the end of Episode 3 depict something ?
In episode 3, we all saw Rhaenyra talking to Alicent about her father’s last words and how Alicent showed her stubbornness and refused her peacekeeping offers. But the episode also made fans wonder if Alicent knew about the ‘Song of Ice and Fire’. According to the recent episode analysis done by the New York Times, Alicent does not know about the prophecy and only pays attention to two words spoken by her husband on his deathbed. She believed what she wanted to believe to make her son rule the throne.

This also depicts that if Alicent knows, then Aegon can also know, or she could have told the plotters, and as a result, the prophecy would hold no value. All these elements make the series even more interesting. It looks like we have to watch the upcoming episode to find out!
New episodes of House of Dragons are streaming on HBO Max.
