“Has your loyalty faded or does it flourish only at night and flee the sunrise like a moth?”
Alicent really thought they’d accept her when Rhaenys & Rhaenyra were denied for also being women. She thought she was respected as regent only to be left feeling abandoned and betrayed as the council favors her son in her stead. Alicent had made her bed and is yet horrified to lay in it. Her realizing now how Rhaenyra probably feels and that all women are treated as inferior by lords irregardlessly. 🥲
Olivia Cooke is a great actress. Great performances this episode.
