THEORY ASSESSMENT
The episode ground truth directly confirms every element of the theory: Mysaria's agents spread specific propaganda, Ulf converts it into public action, food boats arrive under Rhaenyra's banner, and Aemond cannot account for why the blame lands on him rather than Rhaenyra.
STORY CONTEXT
The White Worm survived the streets of King's Landing and multiple regime changes, so fans here debate what she's really building: a path to power, revenge against the nobility, genuine reform, or simply survival elevated to an art form.
WHY THIS MATTERS
If Mysaria is directing both phases of this operation, the Dance of Dragons contains a second war running beneath the one fought by dragons and armies, a war over what the hungry believe about their hunger. The faction that wins that war does not need to hold the Red Keep. It needs to have been in the taverns first.

Aegon Remembers Everything and Fears Aemond
Aegon is performing amnesia about Rook's Rest because he remembers enough to know Aemond tried to kill him, and saying so while bedridden and surrounded by Aemond's allies would finish the job.
Otto Hightower Is Deliberately Staying Away
Otto Hightower's silence across every channel simultaneously is not absence but strategy: he has privately concluded that the Green cause under Aemond is unrecoverable, and he is preserving his distance from that failure so he can negotiate or reattach himself to whatever outcome survives.
