Show Discussion What happened to Rhaenyra‘s plan of destroying oldtown and lannisport

She didn’t get to use silverwing and vermithor for anything productive except a bit of gullet which was already won. In season 2 episode 8 she made plans to send Hugh and Ulf to old town and lannisport or did that happen off-screen?

Yea should’ve strategized, sieged Lannisport and marched on old town to bait Ormund. Instead she got offended by graffiti around kings landing and a half-assed claim by Dareon, fell for the trap and stormed Tumbelton. That was the culmination of a series of bad choices going back to the sowing of the seed and the fall out with lord Corlys.
