SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary One of House of the Dragon season 2’s most surprising moments is not a brutal death, but the reveal that Alicent Hightower and Ser Criston Cole are having a sexual relationship. As two prominent members of House of the Dragon’s Green faction, it makes sense that Alicent and Criston would be spending a lot of time together.
For Alicent, there are a few factors. It shouldn’t be overlooked that this is the first example so far of her actually experiencing sexual autonomy: she was pushed into marrying King Viserys and had to do what’s considered her duty; the scenes regarding Larys Strong and Alicent’s feet were about power and information. Alicent is actually in control here, so there’s perhaps a sense of freedom, but it’s telling that Criston Cole is the person she’s chosen to experience it with.
He also, perhaps, sees it as a victory over Rhaenyra, a means of getting back to the woman who rejected him by sleeping with her former best friend and now great enemy. With all of that, Alicent and Criston’s relationship is a twisted, complex, and unhealthy one. Her feeling of superiority was what she had to cling to, and it would be a surprising level of hypocrisy for her to be having sex with Criston at that point.
This relationship is not in Fire & Blood, so there’s no blueprint for where it will go, but that just makes it a more intriguing subplot as House of the Dragon season 2 continues.
