What happened
So it was also just like it was another day at the office for being like a very odd, fucked-up scene.” From there, the episode’s mommy-issues plot thickens as the real Alicent does show up at Harrenhal and Alys tries (and fails) to convince Aemond his mother is not there to help him. Do you think Alys’s feelings for Aemond are genuine? I think Aemond is a different story, and I think she knows that instinctively. Just how old do you think Alys actually is? I think she’s like 400 years old.
