House of the Dragon Season 3 has ended on a haunting note, but eagle-eyed Game of Thrones fans may have spotted a striking callback hidden in Helaena Targaryen’s final moments. Her suicide in the finale bears an uncanny resemblance to King Tommen Baratheon’s death in Game of Thrones Season 6, from the window imagery to what happens immediately before it.

A window, a Sept and tragedy

In the House of the Dragon Season 3 finale, Helaena takes her own life by jumping from a window in the Red Keep, falling onto the spikes below. The moment is devastating on its own, but the visual language makes it feel eerily familiar to Tommen’s death in Game of Thrones. Tommen also quietly walks towards a window in the Red Keep before stepping out and falling to his death.
