I think she's done plenty wrong. She was given the opportunity to choose a husband but wasn't shown to have put any effort of her own into doing so; she just took a trip set up by Viserys and bailed out of it early.
After the outing with Daemon, she pushed Ser Criston to have sex without regard for his oath or the consequences he could face for violating it. And this was after Criston told her that he owed her everything he had, so she could've realized how much he valued that position.
Questioned by Alicent, she not only denied losing her virginity, but also used the memory of her mother as a political prop for the lie that Daemon never touched her.
Yes, she made that suggestion to Alicent, but that marriage would be a vindication for Rhaenyra while Alicent would have her only daughter wed to a bastard. And the whole time Rhaenyra's been presenting her kids as legitimate, and gaslighting any suspicion.
Having said all that (which will probably make this statement hard to believe), I don't hate Rhaenyra. Admittedly, I feel like I don't fully understand her, and I don't relate to her much. But I did like her through the first three episodes, so I'm open to having a different view of her again as the story continues.

I honestly don’t see what wrong rhaenyra has done up until the innocent man was killed at the end of the ep. I mean she fulfilled her duty as an heir and married who she was told to, couldn’t have kids with him and found happiness elsewhere. I mean she even suggested to Alicent their kids to get married to show good will but instead alicent refused. Also her kids being bastards doesn’t change the fact that she is the one who is the heir to the throne not her kids

I can't stand Rhaenyra. She's just ridiculous. Everything she does is incredibly selfish and entitled, Alicent is 100% right. And there are massive consequences to all of the stuff she does - just a complete trail of destruction in her wake, with the biggest of all being her children. I mean she's opened them and the whole country up to death. Even the way Aemond was treated! He was being battered by like four kids, his face was scuffed, so he picked up the rock to defend himself. Then Rhaenyra's kid pulled a knife! And they are bastards! Aemond, Alicent, etc., are absolutely right to be pissed off!
Same with Daemon, he's a monster as well. I think I'm more team Alicent. I like Criston and Otto as well.

I agree dragons aren’t properly but it’s in very poor taste to claim a receently dead persons dragon at their funeral

Aemond was the MVP in this episode. It takes guts to go up to a sleeping and mourning dragon to bond with it, let alone the largest and oldest one alive. And I get that Laena's daughters are in grief, but dragons are not property that get passed down from parents onto their children. Aemond bonded with Vhagar, and she chose him (Vhagar was originally Visenya Targaryen's dragon, the older sister and wife of King Aegon the conqueror, and then Baelon Targaryen's, the father of Daemon and Viserys, and then finally Laena bonded and claimed her). And although I'm not a fan of Aemond, he was jumped by the four of them. He was attacked first, it was 4v1 and maybe picking up a stone isn't a terrible thing he did to defend himself, given that he didn't use it until Jace or Luke pulled out the knife. And as far as Rhae and Alicent go, I refrain myself from picking a side.
