Meanwhile, Beric and Jon share some walk-and-talk time with Beric commenting that Jon doesn't have the look of his father (Ned). Perhaps this is the calm before the storm? Yeah, most likely. They'll conquer the world,' says Tormund. Tormund and The Hound share a comedic moment in which Tormund confesses his love for Brienne of Tarth, who The Hound had one hell of a run in with a while back.

Arya has come to far to be this petty.īack beyond the wall, the men continue to walk and talk, which feels like a lot of fan-fiction scenes, but in the best possible way. Or has she? Could she be clever enough to be working him and potentially tricking Sansa in the process? I'm not quite sure I buy her 'anger' just yet. Of course, we know that Lord Baelish is putting all of this in motion and, sadly, Arya has taken the bait. 'Sometimes fear makes them do unfortunate things. Sometimes anger makes people do unfortunate things,' Sansa says. But, what aim could Arya possibly have with doing this? After a bit of a pissing match, comparing how hard their lives have been, Arya makes her threat clear she plans to hold onto that scroll, potentially showing it to the Northern Lords, who she believes would crumble their vision of Sansa. Ned Stark was beheaded and both Arya and Sansa were sent on two different roads, both of which challenged them beyond their worst nightmares.Īrya is angry about this discovery and tells Sansa she blames her for their father's death, calling into question her loyalty. This leads to her pulling out the scroll from last episode, which it turns out was the same scroll she was forced to write when she was under Lannister control, which pleaded with Robb Stark to bend the knee to Joffrey and end his war. She remembers her father, Ned Stark, watching her do so and giving his approval. Arya recalls growing up, teaching herself to shoot a bow and arrow, something that was forbidden.

And your children after you.'īack at Winterfell, Arya and Sansa stand, overwatching the castle. I forfeited the right to claim this sword. Jorah, however, is every bit as honorable as Jon and refuses, knowing that it's in the right hands.

Given to Jon by Lord Mormount, who met a pretty nasty fate by Knight's Watch betrayers, the sword has already proven useful in battle (one swipe from it killed a wight a few seasons back). There's also a really cool moment where Jon tries to hand over his sacred Valerian steel sword, Longclaw, over to Ser Jorah, the once-rightful heir to it. As they traipse through the snow and ice the men bicker a bit, Gendry complaining about the Knights Without Banners selling him to Melisandre a while back, eventually getting set straight by The Hound. After assembling the ultimate A-Team with the aim of going beyond The Wall in order to capture a wight to bring back to Cersei in order to convince her of the bigger threat, Jon Snow, Tormund, Gendry, Thoros of Myr, Beric Dondarion, Jorah Mormount and The Hound set off on what is sure to be an adventure that will dwindle the numbers of some of our longtime favorites.
