The character most affected by this tragedy is Queen Helaena. She is forced to identify the heir and watch her son brutally killed in front of her, but reacts in an oddly cool manner... 'People have been like, that was a bit unfeeling,' Phia Saban, who plays Helaena, said. 'But I think you can't underestimate how you behave in something that is as high stakes and traumatic as that. She's someone who is so particular and specific anyway, it would be understandable that it would be an intensified version of that when the shit really hits the fan.'
She's reassured that the dragons wouldn't touch the Red Keep, but she responds that it's not the dragons she's. HBO It's an odd reaction, but nothing about Helaena has ever been straightforward. What appears to be a scattered mind is actually a prophetic one, as shown by a moment earlier in the episode when Helaena hints that she knew something bad was going to happen.
