We Light the Way


In this week’s episode, the entire RedSix Podcast of Caleb Haldane, Nick Johnson, and Stevo “the Gutternerd” Totten joins hosts Caleb Masters and Daniel Stufll on The Cast Beyond the Wall to recap and review House of the Dragon season 1 episode 5, “We Light the Way.”

This mid-season chapter of House of the Dragon brings us to one of the oldest Game of Thrones traditions, a wedding ending in bloody death and despair. Before arriving at its inevitably dark conclusion, “We Light the Way,” begins with the introduction and death of Daemon’s wife, Lady Rhea Royce, a transactional marriage proposal between Rhaenyra Targaryen and Laenor Velaryon in the Driftmark, Ser Criston Cole goes rogue due to a broken heart, and a new grudge forged between Alicent Hightower and the rest of the King’s inner circle.

What could the latest Westerosi wedding spell for the seven kingdoms? Tune in to hear more about the following topics.

Today’s podcast topics include:

  • Our initial review of “We Light the Way”
  • What the latest bloody Westerosi wedding could mean for Rhaenyra Targaryen and Laenor Velaryon
  • How many episodes does King Viserys Targaryen have left before his inevitable death?
  • Daemon’s latest play and whether it will amount to a successful grander scheme
  • How the Strong family is sewing doubts between Rhaenyra and Alicent Hightower
  • What we expect to see in episode 6, “The Princess and the Queen.”

According to the IMDB synopsis, “We Light the Way” is described as:

“Daemon visits his wife in the Vale. Viserys and Rhaenyra broker agreements with the Velaryons. Alicent seeks the truth about the princess.”
