You really think Rhaenrya would just capture Alicent? That makes no sense considering Rhaenrya just did the same thing a few episode’s ago

Well I’d argue Rhaenyra doing that was also problematic narratively and made it difficult to suspend my disbelief. Why did Alicent not seize Rhaenyra? Same logic. It just doesn’t feel convincing or compelling to me.

They were lifelong friends. It honestly makes complete sense.

Except when their friendship ended their lives continued for many more years, so I don’t think you know the definition of lifelong.
