      In the scene with Rhaynera and Criston Cole, doesn't the whole prophecy about the long night passed down to her as heir also affect her decision in that even if she wanted to run away there are bigger things at stake? This is supported by the fact that in the previous episode where she pursued her own desires, instead of just being angry King Viserys shows her the prophecy on the dagger as to remind her of that. Also when she says I am the crownto ser Criston about I am the crown it feels more to say I have a reponsibilty you wont understand instead of it being about her ambition to rule.

      It can be under written as he threatened the princess, which he did. Rhaenyra was pushed down during the brawl. No one knows by who. So technically, Criston has an alibi. It was just overkill. Like the guy was already down. A dagger is nothing against your full suit of armor. The shock on everyone's faces. He knows he can't unring that bell. So he was going to do it himself. But Alicent showed him mercy, like he asked earlier in the episode. But it's not in the way he intended.

    This show has far exceeding my expectations and this was my favorite episode. I didn’t think anyone could make an entrance like Daemon but Alicents late entrance during the kings speech in her green dress trumped his by just a little bit. The scene where she found out she was lied to was a good one, Emily did such a great job conveying her hurt and you knew she was going to be a different person, referring to Rhaenyra as stepdaughter instead of by name made it evident. You could feel the tension building during the celebration and knew something was going to happen…Criston pounding Joffreys face wasn’t what I was expecting though….I cannot wait until next week.

      Criston Cole’s the kinda man that would be outraged that Laenor’s boyfriend was basically telling him they were the same. They really are but it’s not what Cole envisioned for himself. It’s Alicent that’s pulling strings to help ser criston. She’ll speak up & say she seen rhaenyra in danger he acted nobly bla blah & she’ll gain his unwavering loyalty. I think the fact that the most of the male wedding guests erupted & joined in the fight, same as the tourney., is very telling of the mood of the realm. Lord Corlys probably wasn’t too bothered that Cole got rid of laenors love interest. They did leave a few plates spinning but I’m sure it’ll all be explained

    Rhaenyra telling Criston that she has a duty to the realm and her responsibility lies with the crown (and soothing his bruised heart and ego isn’t more important than that) is not her being a “horrible” person. It’s recognizing the significance of her role as heir….and honestly, if she were a man, it would be written off. But because Rhaenyra is a woman, it is seen as obscene, her behavior “immoral” or, as you put it, a “horrible” person…Wouldn’t running off, embarrassing her father in the process, do more damage? To not just her reputation, but, his as well? Would the scandal of such not cause political turmoil? It is not Rhaenyra’s fault that Criston assumed she would abandon her the crown to run off with him….after knowing the tragic history of her predecessor who did something similar. As Viserys reminded her of 1-2 episodes ago, as much as she may bemoan then shackles of marriage and all of the limitations of being a woman in that era, she understands all too well what befalls women who choose a life of “freedom”. Having heard the tale of how Jaehaerys’ daughter fell into disgrace. Men have the luxury of shirking duty….women, do not.
    Last episode it was “Rhaenyra is being irresponsible”; this one, when she does accept her responsibilities, it’s “she’s a horrible person”, for simply doing her duty…which is to marry. She can’t win.

      She can't. And that's the complexity of the situation. Had she not gone down that road with him last episode, everything would've been in tact. Yes he liked her too, but also, she's the princess and Heir. You really can't refuse her and expect to keep your head or your job. And Rhaenyra used that against him. When she was watching the play with Daemon, she said it doesn't matter what people beneath them want. So Charlie is correct, she knows the rules don't apply to her.
      She wants power and agency over her own life as a woman. That comes with a cost.

We saw this through the eyes of both Alicent and Rhaenyra….saw them discuss the expectations of women vs. their counterparts. Listened to the voice concerns of Rhaenyra to her uncle and father.
      Rhaenyra understands the rules and expectations of her station well….which is why she got married instead of running off with Criston. If she thought she was above them, then surely she would have chose to abdicate her responsibilities.
      My point though is that Rhaenyra breaking Criston’s heart does not make her a bad person. She put duty and realm first.

      He was asking her to give up everything. Not just her ambition for the throne. How about security? She’s a Princess who has never wanted for anything. She would be penniless. What about her reputation? She would be declared a whore and remember poorly forever more. What about her family? Their relationship might be strained, but she does love her father. What about her dragon? If she is meant to hide her identity she won’t be able to take her dragon with her. She’s a 18 year old, that’s scary to abandon everything you know and love.
      What he asked of her was absurd! And she asked him to give up nothing but what he had already given up (his oath of chastity) to stay with her and he lost his damn mind! Such an entitled short sighted man-child reaction 😂

So I see absolutely no reason Rhaenyra should have trusted Alicent after that.

Also, a friend of mine went on a mission trip to a place where people with leprosy go to get treated. Your statement is incorrect Leprosy does not cause you to lose your limbs. That is a misnomer caused my movies. From my limited understanding, it does 2 things. 1. causes infections and 2. it kills the feeling in ur nerves, basically you can't feel the infection. Two very deadly combination. Basically u get infections do not tend to them bc you can't feel them. As the injury progresses, you lose your limbs because your body basically takes your limbs back by eating them. Another misnomer is that you can contract it by touch. Like aids, it must be blood contact. It is also very treatable now aways. Just wanted to add the nuance to it...haha

    Rhaenyra didn't promise Cole anything about love when they shared the night together. If he wanted to stick to his honor so bad he shouldn't have played along that night to begin with. She can't just leave her freakin responsibilities and run away with someone she isn't even in love with. She didn't speak anything about the whole thing till Ser Cristen is the one who brought it up and proposed. She said she can't avoid her position but suggested if he loved her she can still try to be together as her husband would be okay with it. If he doesn't wanna do that then just let it go and move on with it. But no he had to act possessive and over react like Rhaenyra promised him love or something in one night. But here you are blaming her like she ruined him. It's his fault for being over sensitive and forgetting he can't just run away with a princess and that too heir to the throne. What do you think it's a disney movie?

    I feel like Alicent is desperately jealous of Rhaenyra as well or at least there is a level of jealousy there. Alicent was the good little girl and listened to her father even to the point of flirting/comforting with an old man and eventually marrying him and having his children all the while Rhaenyra is getting to live out her teenage years, while Alicent has to pump out babies and endure being a child bride. Also I get that Criston was hurt or whatever but I feel like he's blaming Rhaenyra.. a young girl.. because he made the choice to give in to temptation but now he's angry at the little girl that didn't want to give up an entire kingdom/the only life she knows to run away with him not bothering to first find out/question if this YOUNG GIRL "loves" him..It's giving entitled just a bit lol.

      I’m so glad you made comment to this issue. I find it insulting that Allicent would judge Rhaenyra at this point. Allicent secretly was keeping company with her father, the king for a while and never once mentioned she was doing. She saw Rhaenyra reaction with the king announced their marriage and now she wants to act like how dare you keep a secret. Rhaenyra didn’t actually lie to Allicent about having sex with Daemon, it didn’t happen however Cristin acted like a bitch, to cave and admit to having sex with Rhaenyra without letting Allicent finish asking the question was stupid. Where was his tongue when he and Rhaenyra saw the white stag, which would signify she was the right heir to the throne. Cristin caused all of this. To be mad at Rhaenyra for not giving up her duty to the throne because he gave up his oath as a knight. He could have just said no but instead he said she instigated the sexually act, how could he say no to the princess. Rhaenyra paused to running off with him, she pushed her personal feelings aside for the throne something Daemon never did. The constant comparing of Daemon and Rhaenyra is shameful. The men in HOTD move Rhaenyra and Allicent around like pawns, not caring how they feel about anything because of the realm. Thank goodness for Daenerys.

    *damn* this is actually getting rather good! The fleshing out of characters and filling in of actual events that would explain the "history" recounted in the book are excellent. Criston Cole is a new type for the Game of Thrones gallery, the unspeakable prig, which neatly accounts for the trajectory of his character. Rhaenyra and Damon are both gorgeous fools, valiant or valorous respectively, but privileged idiots without the sense to know how to get what they want without making carnage and enemies. Her brushing off of Cole's proposal was utter mismanagement, showing scorn for an offer of "oranges and a ship to Essos" instead of the throne; all she had to do was take a regretful, flattered tone instead of the proud one when referring to her duty, and mention the problem of keeping SYRAX while living for love in the Free Cities:) Their pride makes them stupid and cruel, and in his case murderous, but we can't help imagining them wed as Damon asked Viserys-- which would have been an unholy terror of a different sort than the Dance about to begin...

    Now I don't feel sorry for Criston anymore. He basically loves his honour, or himself not Rhaenyra, and even tries to make a girl leave everything, her home, her work, her family, just to restore his stupid honour. So self-centered. Of course, no girl's gonna choose you - -

    Did anyone else have a problem with Cristan Cole’s arc this episode? I didn’t think his proposal made sense. Rhaenrya would not leave the crown and he should know that. I also did not understand why he confessed to Alicent. He then turned around and beat Joffrey to death to protect himself? Wouldn’t it have made more sense to not confess to Alicent initially, beat Joffrey to death when threatened, then confess to Alicent when she pushed him on why he did it? His motivations did not seem clear to me.

      He confessed to Alicent because of the guilt he was holding onto. Criston didn’t want forgiveness, he wanted to be judged. I also believe he beat Joffrey more as a way of directing his anger at Rhaenyra at him.

      I agree. Rhaenyra was about to tell him she could not run away because of the prophecy and he whimpered away. He also completely fell apart instantly to Allicent. Laenor handled getting married after watching his lover beat to death than Cristen did keeping Rhaenyra's secret.

      I think the idea is that he is extremely honorable, except for what he did with Rhaenyra, because he really loved her, he shamed himself, and running away was the only way to marry her and regain some honor.
      I think they also try to make that point by showing him not just trying to kill himself, but actually trying to harakiri himself.
      Basically, he is like a Samurai and not just a common knight with no honor that fucks and breaks vows.

    Ok, I’ve been thinking since episode 1 when Daemon gave Rhaenyra the necklace that it was to show us that Daemon loves her. This was before she became the heir to the throne, so doesn’t that say something about how he feels? Everyone keeps saying that all he wants from her is the throne.
    This also would explain why he stopped the sex in the brothel basement with her - because he couldn’t ruin her. Like his initial purpose of that WAS to soil her but then he couldn’t do it because he does love her, heir or no heir!

    Also, I don't think Rhaenyra is a terrible person for flaunting the rules. As a DnD player-this aspect of her character makes her "chaotic". Both her and Daemon are chaotic but actions like bashing your wife's head in with a rock shift you over to the evil side of the chart. So Rhaenyra is more chaotic neutral and Daemon is more chaotic evil.
