In the intricate weave of narratives in *House of the Dragon*, no character is ever truly safe.  The latest episode has sent ripples of dread through the fanbase, as it subtly hints at the tragic end of Helaena.  This revelation was cleverly unearthed by a perceptive fan on TikTok, who discovered a chilling foreshadowing of Helaena's fate during a gripping scene.

The ominous scene unfolds as the decapitated head of Meleys is paraded near King's Landing.

 The sight incites a rebellion, forcing Alicent and Helaena into a chaotic retreat.  Amidst the turmoil, a moment of desperation reveals a harrowing clue about Helaena's future.  In a frantic bid to shield her daughter, Alicent inadvertently pushes Helaena onto some sharp spikes.  This seemingly minor incident serves as an eerie premonition of Helaena's ultimate demise.

This eerily mirrors how Heleana dies in the House of the Dragon book, where she sadly commits suicide and jumps to her death by falling on some spikes.   Despite Alicent trying to protect her, she inadvertently drives her own daughter to her death because of her actions and desire for power.

In the book, Helaena becomes more and more depressed after the death of Jaehaerys and Aegon's injury. She starts becoming worse as a dragonrider and eventually can no longer fly into battle, resulting in her becoming captured by Rhaenyra when she takes Kings Landing.

She is imprisoned at Maegor's Holdfast and eventually decides to jump from her window, dying from the impact of her throat being impaled by the spikes below.

Whilst the show might not follow the same plot as the book in regards to her death, given the current pattern and amount of foreshadowing taking place, it seems likely this was a deliberate choice.
