George R.R. Martin previously criticized the script for the "House of the Dragon" finale, specifically Helaena's death, stating it lacked a clear inciting incident. While the finale did depict Helaena jumping to her death, the reasons differed from Martin's critique and the original book's narrative. The show incorporated new plot points, such as Alicent's actions and Mysaria's warning, to provide motivation for Helaena's suicide, deviating from the book's more intense reason involving the death of her youngest son, Prince Maelor, who does not exist in the show.
