She is devastated when she realizes that her King Consort Daemon (Matt Smith) is responsible.
In King's Landing, the Greens try to use the horrific act to their advantage following the Hand Otto Hightower's (Rhys Ifans) lead. When Aegon kills several innocent royal rat catchers his Hand confronts him and their argument leads to Otto's dismissal.
Alicent (Olivia Cooke) believes she's responsible and that the gods could be punishing her for her affair with Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel). Now that her father has been exiled from the capital she'll need to try to keep the new Hand and her son from escalating to an all-out war.
