** Viserys decides to announce his decision to marry Alicent at a small council meeting, rather than talking with Corlys in private first and letting him down as gently as possible. The result is one publicly snubbed and ''seriously'' pissed off Corlys. And it's evident that Viserys' announcement deeply hurts Rhaenyra as well, who likewise could have been told this in private first but wasn't. Even then, he should have at least been aware it likely wouldn't go well with Rhaenyra to begin with given she and Alicent are practically childhood friends.

"arguably" and "unassailable" are opposites


* SpareToTheThrone: Viserys tells Rhaenyra he needs to have more kids to {{Invoke|dTrope}} this trope. He reassures her that she is the heir, not to be replaced; he merely wants another kid as backup, because having only one heir is precarious -- especially when his current backup heir is Daemon. Given that Rhaenyra actually ''dared Daemon to kill her'' in this very episode (even if she was confident he wouldn't), he arguably has an unassailable point.

** While Viserys is receiving a maggot treatment, Mellos and Otto are advising him on Corlys's offer with a tinge of manipulation, symbolically proving Daemon's claim from last episode right in that much of the Small Council - save for Lyonel Strong and maybe Lyman Beesbury - are like leeches to prey on Viserys for their ambitions.
