Always of the belief Alicent deserved the last word in the driftmark scene. Why on earth, given the context of that scene, should Rhaenyra have gotten to say "Now they see you as you are" unchallenged. As if Alicent is in the wrong. Because what is Alicent in that moment? A desperate mother, seeking retribution for the injustice of her son being permanently disabled without so much as an apology from his attackers? Alicent going 'oh woe is me, what have i become' in response plays into Rhaenyras hands. She should have matched her energy. It should have been the true beginning of a feud. Alicent should have been given the opportunity to remind Rhaenyra "I am what you made me"
