House of the Dragon 1X09 The Green Council

After King Viserys' death, the Small Council plots to install Prince Aegon on the Iron Throne. Ser Criston Cole kills Lord Beesbury when he objects to Princess Rhaenyra being usurped, while Lord Commander Harrold Westerling resigns in protest. Ser Otto delays announcing the king's death to fortify their position, and demands fealty from nobles. Queen Alicent tries to gain support from a captive Princess Rhaenys, but to no avail. When Aegon disappears from the Red Keep, Otto has Kingsguards Ser Erryk and Ser Arryk search the city, while Alicent sends Criston and Prince Aemond. Mysaria, the White Worm, informs Otto that Aegon is hiding in the city's sept, but Criston and Aemond apprehend him after a brief fight. Larys Strong warns Alicent of Mysaria's spies, so she has her house burnt down. Aegon insists he is unfit to rule, but Alicent convinces him otherwise. Meanwhile, Ser Erryk smuggles Rhaenys out of the castle. Otto has hundreds of smallfolk herded into the Dragonpit's main hall, where he announces Viserys' death and crowns Aegon as king. Amid the commotion, Rhaenys reaches her dragon Meleys. She then demolishes the hall and confronts the royal usurpers before fleeing on dragonback.
