A slightly quieter episode showing the nuances of Alicent's character. The last scene is a bit silly but I can forgive it to the creators if it doesn't happen again.

I don't understand how you manage to completely misread your own characters like that. The writer of this episode resorted to harmful and insulting stereotypes and caused future headaches by writing its ending as they did.
