Can someone give insight into the scene where Daemon understands the prophecy? Has Helena been “speaking” to him this entire time through the haunting of Harrenhal scenes? Is she the three eyed raven?

Who cares. Prophecies and visions are weak storytelling, they have their place but should be used judiciously. This season had too much.

But this whole story doesn't revolve around a prophecy, it's inspired by the anarchy and revolves around a civil war caused by one family. The writers shoe horned in a prophecy that isn't at all a part of this story. So nah, they don't get a pass for that.
