On Sunday night’s new episode, titled King of the Narrow Sea, Daemon returns to King’s Landing and informs him that Corlys, aka The Sea Snake, has crowned him King of the Stepstones and the Narrow Sea.

The episode opens with Rhaenyra trying to concentrate during some official ceremony, with Criston Cole (Fabian Frankel) by her side.
It’s revealed that she’s going through potential suitors, and things don’t seem to be going too well.
She is approached by a boy almost her own age, who claims he can protect her, although one of her men calls him “stupid cunt”.
The boy takes offense and takes out his sword and kills the offending man.
The trailer for Sunday night’s new episode teased new gossip that has seemingly spread throughout King’s Landing.
While the trailer doesn’t reveal exactly what the gossip is, it appears to have something to do with the Iron Throne heir, Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Milly Alcock).
She’s seen someone say, “That’s a vile accusation,” while Viserys claims he’ll “take their eyes off” from whoever is responsible for the gossip.

Alicent (Emily Carey) suggests that Daemon started the gossip and Viserys explains that Rhaenyra isn’t “deceitful by nature”… although Daemon is.
There is no indication that Daemon started this gossip, although it wouldn’t be surprising given the disdain he has shown for his brother.
It also appears that there may not be a time jump in this episode, after significant time jumps in the first three episodes.
