More Stark reunions, yay! Except Jon just left for Dragonstone. Arya digests this information along with the pie and turns her horse northward. Namely that Jon Snow is back in Winterfell. It’s a fun little reunion (remember when Arya passed herself off as a boy?) but more importantly leads to Arya getting an update to current events. She manages to stumble into Hot Pie, whom we hadn’t seen since Season 4. Clearly Jorah still has an important role to play but he’s a long way away from anyone.Īrya is also pretty far from anyone. It’s a pretty gross procedure that reminds us that no matter how cool medieval life can seem, the medical options were not super great. Once Sam realizes that Jorah is the son of his late commander, he barely hesitates in finding a risky, experimental healing method that could very well infect him as well. After the dragonglass discovery he’s found Ser Jorah Mormont, slowly dying of greyscale. Sam remains an important POV at the Citadel (which I incorrectly thought was in Essos, it’s actually in the SW corner of Westeros). Hopefully this leads to some actual agency and things to do as she’s been sidelined with Jon around. Despite their further political bickering, he leaves Sansa in charge of Winterfell. Jon is very much Ned Stark’s son, and agrees to the journey to hopefully secure an ally and obtain the dragonglass. If the show has taught us anything being summoned to join a king or queen typically ends in disaster. Armed with that knowledge and an official summons, Jon agrees to meet with Daenerys, much to the chargrin of every noble in the North. Sam learned last episode that Dragonstone sits on a huge untapped mine of dragonglass. Dragonglass can be made into obsidian weapons that are capable of destroying the white walkers in a single blow. They need more people and more dragonglass. While Daenerys is focused on conquest, Jon is rightfully focused on defending the North against the tide of White Walkers headed their way. On one hand – hurrah, it’s the meetup we’ve been waiting seven years for! On the other hand, there’s no way these two hard-headed heroes are going to agree to work together, at least right away. When Melisandre shows up for the first time since resurrecting Jon Snow last season, Dany decides to summon the King of the North to come visit and bend the knee. It’s a solid plan but Team Targaryen could always use more allies. Instead they plan on using Highgarden and Dorne’s armies (and their mutual animosity of the Lannisters) to siege King’s Landing.ĭany’s armies from Essos, meanwhile, will hit the Lannisters where it hurts, their homeland at Casterly Rock. They’ll be seen as little more than foreign invaders. They don’t want to march into King’s Landing with an army of Unsullied and Dothraki. Not exactly your typical war room for Game of Thrones (or anything) and that’s part of the reason we love and root for Team Targaryen.ĭany and Tyrion’s plans are clever. That’s five women, three eunuchs, and a Tyrion. She’s already called together the leaders of Dorne and Highgarden, Ellaria and Olenna respectively, as well as the Greyjoy defectors Yara and Theon, to join her own group of advisers of Tyrion, Missendei, Grey Worm, and Varys. This time we get to listen in on her plans. Last episode ended with Daenerys in her war room on Dragonstone. We witnessed some awful medieval surgery (with hilariously disgusting jump cut), enjoyed some sexy moments, and learned to respect and fear our new barbaric pirate villain. This week on Game of Thrones we saw the return of the enigmatic Red Woman and Arya’s long-lost direwolf Nymeria.
