Ultimately, Alicent gets her wish, and her son Aegon — who has transformed from a violent, headstrong kid to a whimpering, weepy boy who asks his mommy if she loves him between episodes — is crowned king in front of a large crowd, officially wearing the crown of his namesake the Conqueror. Before long, though, a very special guest swings by the coronation — and this one definitely wasn’t invited.

At the start of the episode, we see Princess Rhaenys Targaryen (Eve Best), Viserys’ cousin and the “Queen Who Never Was,” locked in her room at the Red Keep, clearly on Alicent’s command. Though the widowed queen shows up in Rhaenys’ room and tries to sway her to the Greens, Rhaenys plays it relatively close to the vest, merely asking Alicent why she’s never tried to sit upon the throne herself, but neither woman is convinced.

Clearly, Rhaenys has wildly different plans. After attempting to escape her captivity in King’s Landing, she ends up shunted into Aegon’s coronation, but manages to slip out of a side door. It seems like she’s just heading out so she doesn’t have to watch, but lest we forget: Rhaenys has a dragon. After asking about it during her confrontation with Alicent, Rhaenys crushes half the room with her Chekhov’s dragon — named Meraxes — eventually drawing her beast to face Aegon and Alicent directly. They prepare for the worst, but Rhaenys, sitting tall upon her dragon, doesn’t kill them, electing to merely have Meraxes release a blast of likely terrible dragon breath upon the new king and his mother.
