House of the Dragon season one, episode 8 recap: A dying King makes a final plea

Last week’s episode was a real shocker – Laenor was brutally attacked in Driftmark’s Great Hall, Rhaenyra and Daemon got together, Aegon lost an eye, Otto was back in business as Hand of the King and Alicent showed her true colours.

So what will episode 8 hold? More murders (with the malevolent Lord Larys still on the scene it seems likely)? More backstabbing? Or all-out war this time? As ever, a ton of spoilers ahead.
