Tywin Lannister is named Hand of the King after Tyrion's injury
Joffrey Baratheon is betrothed to Margaery Tyrell after the annulment with Sansa
The aftermath of Stannis's failed attack on the King's Landing is depicted as Stannis broods in defeat at Dragonstone.
Arya, on the run, is given a special coin
Brienne of Tarth continues escorting Jaime Lannister south
Robb Stark marries Talisa instead of fulfilling his promise to marry into House Frey
Jon Snow earns the trust of the Free Folk as part of the larger plan to take down their leader from within
Daenerys Targaryen gets her stolen dragons back from the House of the Undying.
The previous episode called "Blackwater" was a full-length battle royale, and much more exciting than the above, although major events were put into motion in the Season 2 finale, just the same as what happened last night.
Unless it's a series finale, that's how a lot of these prestige shows tend to do it:
an action-filled, consequences-laden penultimate episode and then a reflective finale which ties up some loose ends and sets the stage for the next season.

Idk we had several episodes of readying dragons, green vs black, ready for battle, and then.....comedy and mud wrestling
All these characters are so indecisive. Rhaenyra was conflicted the entire season, and even after Aemond burns a whole town everyone just shrugs? Could've given us a little skirmish there at least....not even Aegon wanted to fight him? He wants to fight everyone. Even with one leg and no ear or doodle.
