Yeah, I called Robert being bad the very MOMENT he started using that pejorative nickname for Liam. I piped up to my wife and said "Now that Cyrus is no longer the main baddie, we need a new one, and the subterfuge of the "good older brother who everyone loves" actually being an asshole...is perfect. Loved the slow reveal through the chess matches with his dad to him telling he the notion of disbanding the monarchy fed back to the king not wanting to leave it to Robert because he felt him unfit.
But yeah, even Robert being the one who tipped off Frost's parents to blackmailing him through that reporter, I called. It was too coincidentally timed with Robert's return not to have been him.
I also loved the cold open where it seemed like Cyrus blew his brains out...only to be the double...and then bookending the ep with Liam asking Cyrus for help...with what LOOKS like might be faking his own death? I can't imagine there was any other reason for Cyrus to point the gun at him...?
Anyways, great finale!
Oh, and Jasper and Eleanor now having most stuff out on the table means she's likely not going away.
