In a recent interview, the actor opened up about the issue and expressed the particular scene was but an inevitable power struggle, while fans remark the scene is more of a sabotage at this point.

The scene has since baffled fans over its long-term implications on D’Arcy’s character and their character’s relationship with Matt Smith’s Daemon Targaryen. However, D’Arcy is not worried at all and instead describes the scene as a power play. In their recent interview withVariety, D’Arcy stated,
I think there’s something interesting about seeing two women within such a patriarchal system who have both developed mechanisms for navigating, manipulating the systems of power… I imagine she quite likes the idea of him finding out. There’s such a power struggle in their relationship, that hooking up with his ex, I can only think, would feel like a useful point on the board.

Seems more like they shoehorned it in to appease the woke crowd instead of focusing on good story telling

People calling this bad writing when it literally makes perfect sense for the characters
Makers are completely self-sabotage at this point with their penchant for shock value. Not!Alyssa in the previous episode and this scene in the latest one are totally unnecessary and ruining the show. Rhaenyra is a lost cause. I’m just here for Daemon and Dragons now.
