Summary Milly Alcock returns as Rhaenyra Targaryen in House of the Dragon season 2, episode 3, a welcome surprise after her exit from the show back in season 1. Alcock, of course, originated the role, but House of the Dragon's cast changed in season 1, episode 6, after a 10-year time jump, with Emma D’Arcy stepping into the role, alongside Olivia Cooke taking over from Emily Carey as Alicent Hightower. It was thought that we’d seen the last of them, but Alcock, at the very least, is back.
In terms of how she comes back, it’s a smart choice that goes well beyond a simple flashback. Harrenhal is a cursed place that can mess with a person’s mind anyway, but the presence of Alys Rivers adds to this. She’s described by some accounts in the book as a witch, and has powers and potions that can meddle with people’s thoughts and feelings, which she is seemingly doing to Daemon here.
It’s the Rhaenyra who is headstrong and rebellious in the way he liked, the way that made him feel good about himself, and the way that he used to get back a bit at Viserys...

“People have said that to him all the way through. But when young Rhaenyra says it to him, it's the first time he feels it. It's the first time he processes his actions, though he's been killing people left and right since the beginning. This is the first time we see him regret. We see him feel. We actually kept talking, in between takes, about how this is something we've never seen before in Daemon.
