Liked that one a lot. That post-eye scene with everyone, whew! Tense af. It's really nice having all of the characters in one room unlike GoT where they're scattered all over the world. Literally every character's storyline was playing out in one location, it was great

I spoiled myself on Laenor's fate in the books this week and couldn't believe we were already there in this ep. But then that reveal. That was a nice surprise, even though they barely gave us anytime at all to actually process his death lol. But still, after his nice convo with Rhaenyra I would've been pissed if she really did order his death. Would've made her so unrootable since I like Laenor. I WAS surprised by how cutthroat she was being so I'm pretty glad it was all a ruse. Though I fear Daemon may not love the Laenor/Qarl loose thread and might tie that up quietly on his own

Poor Viserys trying to hold the whole family together

So glad Criston was like.....uhhh yeah I'm just here to protect you, I'm not about to stab out a kid's eye
