Daemon Targaryen Is A Chaotic Mess, And People Are Loving It

Now that the dust has settled on House of the Dragon Episode 4, "King of the Narrow Sea," let's take a moment to talk about everyone's favorite uncle, Daemon Targaryen.

If you're caught up, you'll remember that upon returning to King's Landing — after his IMPRESSIVE victory over the Crab Feeder — Daemon waltzed into town sporting a new haircut and crown.

After turning over said crown and command of the Stepstones to Viserys, Daemon made up with his big brother. All seemed well!

Heck, they even laughed like bros at Alicent Hightower's expense after she suggested Daemon check out the new tapestries. (SHE WAS JUST BEING NICE?!)

After all the royal court niceties, Daemon then took his beloved niece Rhaenyra out for some debaucherous fun in Flea Bottom. They ended up at a pleasure house, and, well, we all know what happened there. (Yikes.)

Things got hot and heavy between them, but for whatever personal turmoil–inspired reason, Daemon left Rhaenyra before things went "too far."

Later, Otto Hightower, being the self-interested Hand of the King that he is, outted Daemon and Rhaenyra to Viserys in a way that can only be described as painfully awkward.

Upset, Viserys then confronted both Rhaenyra and Daemon about what happened.

And not only did very hungover Daemon embrace what happened, but he straight-up DOUBLED DOWN on his affections for Rhaenyra.

Viserys did not take well to Daemon's proposal — assuming Daemon really just wants the throne — and ordered his little brother back to the Vale.

Suffice to say, all of Daemon's TRULY CHAOTIC actions throughout this episode had fans screaming and making A+++ jokes about all the drama:
