The script initially had Aegon kneel without protest. Of course.

Rough start to Criston's arc, but I want to see where they're headed. He's out of his element, forging a shield from his days before joining service to the crown. And we're about to learn some things about his past before becoming a kingsguard.

No surprise at the mention of Aegon being missing. She knows everything she prophesied is falling into place. She just doesn't trust that Alicent could believe her yet, if she was to ever tell her.

Aemond looking for Aegon at night just after Helaena slaps him with that prophecy. Yep. He wanted to kill Aegon. And he wouldn't confront Helaena about Aegon going missing (though we needed such a scene) because he actually fears her now, but won't admit it. Poor Orwyle :(

And it all goes back to the scene in ep 1 season 2 where Alicent and Otto are chatting. They see the kids as nothing more than tools, not as human beings with emotions. Affection is something they themselves struggle to express, and the kids inherit this from Alicent and Otto.

It seems like if you don't fight for your character enough on this show, the character turns into an incoherent mess 😭

She's noticing something is very off with Alicent. You'll get there, babygirl. Your mum ain't shit.

I think Aegon's crown will be taken to King's Landinh as confirmation of Aegon being alive somewhere and this will intensify Rhaenyra's search for him. "BRING AEGON, THE USURPER, TO ME!"

Sort off. I have trust issues.

He will always be loved by me!
