"You're a strange kind of woman," Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) tells Alys Rivers (Gayle Rankin), the resident witch of Harrenhal who intimately, inexplicably understands his every thought and desire. First introduced near the beginning of "House of the Dragon's" second season, Alys perches alongside Daemon throughout his sojourn in the haunted castle, beguiling, provoking and instructing the prince until the season finale, when he, following her directions, steps into the cosmic ether and briefly reunites with another strange woman.
"It's all a story, and you are but one part of it," says Helaena Targaryen (Phia Saban), her voice echoing across the hall. "You know your part. You know what you must do."
