What a fun trick Ormond has played.
We meet Ormond and he's got a little redheaded kid in bright green following him around. We know Alicent has a kid who's probably hanging out with Ormond, but the show ignores him. It's a weird decision by the show, clearly he's important, why not call him out.
Jump to this episode. I guess not. Another platinum haired Targaryen. But we've been fooled yet again! That was just well done all around.
Also false Daeron thought he might be burned alive, and Daemon wanted him burned alive, so as to Rhaenyra wondering if Ormond thought he would get away with it... Yeah, he did, at least until he was ready to reveal it.
Also Sunfyre officially called dead this episode. But Aegon was also "officially" called dead this episode. I don't think Baela would have lied, so she must have been tricked, which means Aegon + Larys have probably arrived at Rook's Rest and we'll get their story, perhaps all of the Green POVs next episode.
Also I get Rhaenyra isn't happy with her Dragonstone small council, but it seems like they could at least tend to things while she gets a better council in place. Although I guess her learning to rule and make choices like that are part of the story this reason.
Same with the Queensguard. I know Ser Lorent can't be trusted and is probably dead now, but I assume she had others to at least get the Queensguard started.
