I'm so disappointed. Just when I was loving Adam's new groove and the great couple that he and Sally made ( those two had real supercouple potential), Show decided to pull the rug out from under me! I thought that Adam dropping Sally was just a ploy, but it has become increasingly clear that not only was that all real, they're also turning Adam back into an a**hole. What a waste of good story and character development.

In completely unrelated news, it’s weird that the few people who supposedly liked Adam have spent the past few weeks badmouthing him to anyone who’ll listen. Not heavy handed at all. Quality stuff by TIIC.
They always do the first quoted stuff so that they can prop up Nick for the second quoted. Anytime Adam gains too much ground they have to yank him back so that Nick can shine as the "hero". And as I think they're trying to keep Nick in the young hero slot (finally shed of Phyllis and nope, not going to put him back with Sharon again) here's Sally.
So clearly have to make Adam the bad guy in the Sally/Adam situation and free her up to be available for Nick.
Puke, puke, puke.

No he didn't. He flew off the handle after being bested in a jousting match, tried to kill the other guy (which is apparently perfectly legal) and only yielded after it was clear he'd die otherwise. He handled that about as badly as one could.
I was talking about him being bested in the on-foot sword-match, after he got angry about losing the joust. So agree with you that he got angry and continued the bout off the horses, but he yielded when he was bested and then was done.
I just meant that he didn't pursue anything beyond the match. He didn't seek the guy out later and murder him (or worse, and there's far worse in the GoT world). As far as we know at this point anyway.
Not saying he's a good guy, but by GoT standards, I don't think he's all evil either.

I mentioned in another post that I think Daemon will be a gray character rather than a black hat villain (though he did wear that black winged helmet, I know). My opinion based on his relationships with his brother and niece, but there's another moment that makes me think he's not mustache-twirling-evil, and that's how he responded to being bested at the tournament. He accepted it and that was it.
If it had been Joffrey bested by an unknown he'd have tortured the guy who bested him and his horse and his family and the entire stadium of people who'd seen it happen.
Daemon feels like a cross between Jamie and Tyrion - he has Jamie's brash (brutal) affect but I think he's got Tyrion's smarts.

I'm very much of the mindset that Daemon is not a villain or a hero, but something more complex than that. He's not an angel for sure, but he's much more complex than just a devil either. I'm guessing that when the real battles for succession come into play that he may end up allying with Rhaenyra at some point against other comers. I have not read the books or any spoilers, etc. This is purely my guess based on what I've seen of the characters so far.
Given the scheming I'm guessing will come from Hightower and others, I'm thinking there may be some drawing together of the Targaryens eventually - when they become threatened by others.
I'm basing this on the way we saw Daemon respond to his brother defending him (when he was listening in to the council meeting), his and Rhaenyra's demonstrated closeness, and the interaction between Daemon and Viserys when he banished him. It's evident they all care about each other and though they may battle one another, which I'm sure will happen, they'll draw together when others try to take over.

ETA: What is Alicent to Rhaenyra? I know they are friends, but does Alicent have a job? Is she like a tutor? She was quizzing Rhaenyra in one scene on history. What I am getting at is are they simply friends, or does Alicent actually serve Rhaenyra in some capacity?
She's a lady in waiting is my take - daughter of a noble house who works as an attendant for a princess/queen. She was helping Rhaenyra study by quizzing her, but it was for a class or other tutorial she'd be doing the next day. She mentioned that the Septa would be angry if Rhaenyra didn't know the facts. So both friend and attendant.
As to the episode, I'm in. It was a bit slow in parts (broken up by gory violence and childbirth), but I know that much of that was table-setting to get everyone in place.
I do question how - both at the time Viserys is named heir and now that Viserys isn't sure he'll have a boy, so needs an heir - finding some random noble who might become the heir would be able to work. In both situations, there are named Targaryens available (Rhaenyris and Viserys 9 years ago, and Daemon and Rhaenyra now) to be the heir, so why would they have a bunch of other nobles compete for the position? Yes, finding the most able, strongest, etc. is important, but don't they need to have some Targaryen blood in order to be "dragons" who can withstand fire and manage the actual dragons?
That didn't make any sense - in terms of the rules for this particular ruling family.

On the other hand, Eric is all about Pierpoint. But I think he is acting in good faith with the advice/marching order he gives Harper. Making a deal is one thing, he's trying to teach her the politics of making repeated deals with a variety of clients over time. Word about her burning a client is going to get around and there is only so long she can live off Bloom's trades.
I don't think Eric is all about Pierpoint. I think Eric is about Eric. As someone said above, he's happy to have a smart Harper working for him, but he very much wants to keep her contained and be seen as the one calling the shots. He's encouraged her, sure, but it's always only so far as it doesn't make her look better than him.
I think they did some interesting parallels in this episode between Harper/Eric and Yasmine/Celeste. In both cases you have a more experienced mentor supposedly encouraging a younger employee. But in both cases, when the younger stepped out and tried to do something more, the mentor got angry and threatened. Celeste said it out loud - she is not about what's good for Pierpoint, she's about what's good for Celeste. Eric is the same. The difference in the two instances was that Harper pulled off her gambit and is profiting professionally, while Yasmine is not.
I think Harper did what she did because Bloom was telling her directly that he expects her to be for him and because she was hurt by Eric's lying and attempt to poach Bloom. It was rash and will likely come back to bite her in the end, but it makes sense in terms of who Harper is. We have seen her act boldly, impulsively, but not always wisely.
When Yasmine shows up at their apartment looking for Harper for advice, and tells Rob that it's because Harper is just naturally so good at this. He asks "is she?" Foreshadowing that this will not end up well for Harper.

I’m pretty sure Sally’s talk with Chance was mostly to garner sympathy and let his guard down enough to give her information about the investigation. At least that’s the way I’m spinning it in my head.
Agreed. I worry more that they're chem testing Sally with Nick than I do her with Chance. Bad enough they can't allow Adam to be happy for more than two minutes at a time, but having Sally turn to Nick? Please, no.
