And Jon and Beric discuss what the Lord of Light might have planned for them after bringing them back from the dead. Tormund professes to the Hound his love for Brienne. Gendry is still mad at the Brotherhood Without Banners for selling him to Melisandre. The journey is long, which gives our heroes some time to explore their shared histories.
The majority of the episode takes place beyond the Wall, with Jon and the rest of the Westerosi gang on their wight-capturing expedition. Dany, clearly upset, tells Tyrion that they will discuss succession after she's taken the Iron Throne. He says he believes in Dany but is worried about how her vision of "breaking the wheel" will continue when she's dead without heirs. Tyrion moves on to an even more sensitive subject: Dany's supposed infertility. Tyrion warns Dany that Cersei almost certainly will say something provocative, and he doesn't want the Mother of Dragons to lose her temper - as she did when she burned the Tarlys to death. The two discuss their prospective meeting with Cersei. Dany doesn't think Jon has any feelings for her, and besides, she says, "He's too little for me." Ooh. Tyrion finds it interesting that the men she listed - Jorah, Khal Drogo, Daario Naharis and Jon - all fell in love with her. "Heroes do stupid things, and they die," Dany clarifies, listing all the men in her life who have left to do "heroic" things. She tells Tyrion that she likes him because he's not heroic, which he doesn't exactly take as a compliment. When she reaches her sister, Arya turns the knife around and gives it to Sansa, then leaves.Īs Jon leads his expedition north of the Wall, Daenerys and Tyrion talk in Dragonstone. As she's talking, Arya walks toward a completely confused and terrified Sansa while holding the Valyrian steel dagger Bran gave her. Arya explains her abilities as a faceless assassin and says she could even take Sansa's face and become her. Sansa doesn't answer the question, as she's still, understandably, confused by the whole my-little-sister-has-a-bag-of-faces thing.
"How do you feel about Jon being King?" Arya asks. Arya reveals that she trained in Braavos to become a faceless assassin and proposes they play a game in which they answer questions, disguising lies as the truth. "What are these?" a bewildered Sansa asks. Later, Sansa sneaks into Arya's room and finds her collection of faces just as her little sister arrives.
Frustrated, Sansa says she does not need anyone to watch over her and orders Brienne to begin her long journey to King's Landing. Brienne's not thrilled with this idea, as she doesn't think it's safe to leave Sansa alone with the ever-conniving Littlefinger. After receiving a raven inviting her to King's Landing, Sansa tells Brienne to go in her stead. It turns out that Sansa has a different mission for Brienne.
