It's criminal there isn't much content on Itachi and the Taka. He'd love them. And they would adore him. The path to Itachi's heart is through Sasuke. When he'd see there were people who loved his brother, were even ready to go full criminal mode just for his sake, and desert everything they believed in for Sasuke's sake, he would be overwhelmed.
The Taka would love him as well. They'd see he isn't the kind of person they believed he was. How he remains detached from everyone unless it's for or because of Sasuke. They'd be very much delighted and also overwhelmed to be around him. Because it's itachi.
They'd notice how he tries to remove himself from Sasuke's life, but can't. They'd play an important role in shaping the brothers' bonding that, if Itachi had lived, wouldn't be easy to heal.

Hi, in ep 6 after viserys told lyonel he must remain his hand alicent left viserys' chamber and we see her with a face full of malinconia (?) i hoping you can express your interpretation
(sorry this took so long, i've been a bit mushy in the brain lately)
the way I took it was that Alicent was beyond frustrated and let down. for years she had been trying to tell her husband the boys were bastards, that Rhaenyra was trampling over her duty, putting the house, her claim, Alicent's children at risk (she wasn't a fool, she knew bastards would cause a war, one way or another). she had been begging Viserys to see and he was just willingly blind to it.
so when she saw Lyonel saying "hey, my kid had bastards with your kid, the heir, and I'm here to take responsibility for it, I'm here to do the right thing and resign my post and get my kid as far away from here as I can" I think she was so hopeful Viserys would be forced to see the truth, he'd be forced to do something about the situation, anything, if it meant keeping the house afloat (cause again, bastards bring war, especially when passed as legitimate to the iron throne of all things. Alicent would like to see the house she was married off to, the one where her kids resided in stay standing, at least long enough for them to escape)
and then he just... ignores it. the bastard makers father literally comes forward, and Viserys essentially say no. she had to be crushed and infuriated with his weaponized and clearly intentional incompetence. she had been ruling in his stead, guiding his actions for years and he was willing to destroy all her work, destroy his house and kingdom over his daughter having 3 bastards, playing dumb, ignoring everything that had to do with it.
I think that's when she really realized she was doomed, not yet by Rhaenyra (that would come when Aemond lost his eye) but by Viserys. Viserys would see them all dead fools rather than see the truth, instead of handle the situation, to bring justice, even quiet justice no one outside of the castle would truly know about, to Rhaenyra for her treason.
(I personally think she wanted duty and honor and justice to take Rhaenyra off the throne, wanted her to be removed by her children's bastardhood, a shred of her honor left intact, up until Aemonds eye was lost. I think thats when the idea of usurping her slipped into her mind like a weed. it was only when she truly realized there would be no true justice or honor or duty when it came to Rhaenyra and Viserys that she realized if she wanted to survive, she'd have to do it herself. it was then that she realized Rhaenyra would doom her, not her father. hence the above, first she thought it would be Viserys then she knew it would be Rhaenyra thing)
I think that's what we see in her face, finally realizing her husband is a fool, that he will drag her and their children down, that he would be the fall of her. we saw the little bit of hope she had been given by Lyonel resigning crushed in an instant.

I hate my job so very much, but I can't afford to be out of work and at the moment I haven't been able to get hired in this specific arena that I need to be in for the next few years to get my student loans forgiven. I hate it, but I'm stuck at least for a while.
But suffice to say, given the above, that when I hear a multimillionaire youtuber whine about how soul-crushing being an online personality is and how he just wishes he could quit sometimes, darn it, but just won't for some reason even though we all know he has enough money that he would never have to work another day in his life if he so chose because he and his spouse have just that much money . . . yeah my sympathy dries up real quick.
