** Minisculely for Aegon, in the books he refuses to let Helaena dance with Jace accusing him of trying to cuckold him. Here the two dance with no comment from Aegon.

* DotingGrandparent: DownplayedTrope as it's just a FunnyBackgroundEvent, but ''Otto Hightower'', of all people, seems surprisingly sweet with his autistic granddaughter Helaena. He says "good" and smiles approvingly after she gives a very socially inappropriate toast. He claps proudly for her as she dances with Jace.

* LousyLoversAreLosers: DiscussedTrope. When Aegon propositions Baela, he alludes to the idea that her betrothed Jace is bad in bed because he's a loser. He pairs this with VirginShaming of Jace.

* SuicideByCop: ImpliedTrope. Vaemond had to have known that openly calling Luke a bastard and Rhaenyra a whore would cost him his head, but realizing he has lost his case and will lose his family's seat to his cousin-in-law's illegitimate offspring, he decides to be DefiantToTheEnd. The behind the scenes video actually confirms this: he knew he was a dead man at this point and decided to die with his honor intact by not backing down.
