Well, we went from a family reunion for a funeral, to grand theft dragon (or not?), to a pint-size street fight where knife beats rock. Joining us to help us sort out this royal shitstorm is a good friend and fabulous fan fiction writer, Kitfics! This episode was largely about how many of the child characters are left alone to grieve the loss of a parent, some are only allowed to do so in silence. Likewise, we see the troubling behaviors and personalities developing between young Aegon and Aemond. Bad blood has already infected the next generation, which culminates in escalating violence until Aemond is permanently injured. All of what we see going on with the children makes sense when we parse out the parenting styles. Unfortunately, Alicent and Rhaenyra seem to be repeating lessons they learned in childhood from their fathers with their own children. We also examine Laenor's worsening melancholy and the need for Rhaenyra and Laenor to break the polycule to keep their vows to support each other. In a fun and wildly speculative segment, Blue goes full tinfoil hat about Alicent, which is precisely what happens when you let three fan fic writers run amok on a podcast.
