    Summary

    One thing about Tom Cruise is that he had had aliens in his brain long before there were aliens in his brain, Carol thinks, so probably this was all going really great for him.

    Summary

    She could pick one.

    That was the whole point of being unhived—she was free, she had preferences now, she could reach out and take any bread she wanted off any shelf and put it in the cart and that would be fine. That was what free people did. They chose bread. It was not complicated. People used to do it every day before the Joining and none of them had a breakdown over it.

    OR: Post-unhiving. Zosia goes grocery shopping with Carol, can't choose bread, and cooks dinner with a dead woman's recipe.

    Summary

    “Who better to stand in my stead, to stand as the Crown,” Viserys raises his hands, like he’s about to shock them all with his wisdom, “Than its trueborn heir.”

    Rhaenyra preens at the praise, the recognition. “Thank you, Father.”

    “And the Queen.”

    The smile drops from her face.

     

    OR

    [Post-1x06] The King sends Rhaenyra and Alicent to strengthen ties with the North. Alicent lasts two days with a chill that reaches her bones; and then she finds a solution.
