We shouldn't gloss over what Alicent just achieved in this episode. Convincing Rhaenyra to declare Aegon dead since no one knows what he looks like was her biggest win in a long time. Alicent tried very hard to abide by the principles of duty & sacrifice ingrained in her to relinquish Aegon's head as the supreme sacrificial offering, ultimately stripping herself of her previous taut moral compass, only to be hit on the face with the harsh realization of just what this sacrifice entails when she sees Otto's head on the floor and imagines this head to be Aegon's. Now she can't bring herself back to discussing his beheading and pleads with Rhaenyra to have him declared dead instead.
This was always the alternative she was seeking, even when she approached Rhaenyra at Dragonstone at the end of S2 to beg for peace, but she realized that Rhaenyra would have to kill Aegon to legitimize her rule. How heartwrenchingly difficult this was for her to accept is evident in 2x08, when the mere thought of having Aegon killed makes her gag. Of course Alicent still loves her kids, and that is the tragedy of it. She only gave up Aegon when she thought that there was no way she could save all of them.
Now that Aegon has fled, she starts to imagine that there is still some hope for all her kids to survive the Dance, and her moral compass is realigned. She wears the seven-pointed star again, evidently asking for divine guidance and mercy so that her children are spared, maintains friendly terms with (and in fact apologizes for lashing out at) Rhaenyra, and acts as her confidante and advisor, all in the service of maintaining the fragile balance between them so that she inflicts the least possible harm on her kids.
rewatching HOTD and the emotionally incestuosness of the hightowers/TG is just so crazy they're not even doing all that incest for like. honor or tradition. just for the love of the game.
