    Gretchen and Caroline are joined by NEW FRIED PARIS!!! To discuss the beginning of the chapters Rhaenyra Overthrown. The smallfolk revolt because they are definitely so upset by Helaena's death, and Rhaenyra definitely murdered her! Didn't you know Rhaenyra is so evil? Don't ask questions! NOTE - we had a whoopsie-doodle technical difficulty with recording, so this is the FIRST HALF of our wonderful conversation with Paris. Look for the SECOND HALF later in the feed. Join our Discord!
