Theory Briefing
- A popular fan theory holds that Helaena is already pregnant in Season 3, setting up the birth of her son Maelor from the source material.
- The theory imagines Alicent, Jaehaerys, and Helaena caught in a street mob torn between pro-Targaryen and pro-Hightower loyalties.
- Maelor's birth would carry heavy dramatic weight, since the character meets a famously grim fate in George R.R. Martin's Fire and Blood.
- The theory hinges on reading Helaena's behaviour and the show's timeline as quietly tracking a pregnancy the writers haven't confirmed.
