It will probably come out that Jon is the rightful heir, not Dany. She may then go into full meltdown.

How would Jon's claim be "rightful"? Seems to me that Gendry has a stronger claim than Jon. He's the only one left with Baratheon blood.

Speaking of Baratheon blood, I don't get how Cersei is gonna play this pregnancy card. Claiming Jamie is the father pretty much confirms all the rumors about Joffrey and Tommen. Which means that the Lannisters have zero claim to the throne at all. They have no connection to the Baratheon line at all.

Wouldn't that make it really really really easy for the people of westeros to support Dany?

I'm guessing she's not really pregnant. She just needed something to help create a potential future for Jamie to care about. Kingslayer was about to fold. Now he's all-in.

Gendry is a bastard, not a Baratheon. The annulment and marriage of Prince "Ragger" that Gilly read about is dramatic irony for the audience, telling us that Jon was Rhaegar's trueborn Targaryen son. As the Baratheons were killing the Targaryens, Jon became the last living male Targaryen. This may come up in the show such that Dany will have a struggle with the fact that she is not the true Targaryen next in line to the throne.

If that mattered, then he wouldn't have to run from King's Landing in the first place.

.
I get all that, but either it's a misdirection, or the writers really really really insulting our intelligence. Rheagar and Elia had kids. OBVIOUSLY their marriage was consummated. How the fuck could it be annulled? I'm not sure the citadel is going to just honor the declarations of a monk who spends most of this time writing down when he poops.

As the Baratheons were killing the Targaryens, Jon became the last living male Targaryen. This may come up in the show such that Dany will have a struggle with the fact that she is not the true Targaryen next in line to the throne.

Which is why they're either gonna hook up, or she's just gonna play the "fuck off I have dragons" card.
