The episode begins with Jon Snow preparing to leave the Night's Watch and go God-Knows-Where. As he is getting ready to leave, Brienne of Tarth and Sansa Stark arrive. There's a bit of a quiet moment of embrace and catch up between Sansa and Jon. One of the things I loved about this moment is that it shows just how headstrong Sansa has grown, as well as being a bit more bloodthirsty than the innocent girl she once was. Melisandre then realizes that Jon Snow may have been the prince that was promised. Littlefinger begins to manipulate Lyssa Arryn's son, and manipulates things to his potential benefit. Tyrion meets with the surrounding slave masters, coming up with a solution that could potentially benefit all. Jorah and Daavros enter the city and make a rescue attempt to get Daenerys out of the city. She refuses to go without doing something first. There's a small moment I quite enjoy between The High Sparrow and Margery Tyrell, with the High Sparrow actually showing her kindness and allowing her to see her brother. Meanwhile, Cersei and Tommen come to a realization. Margery must be kept safe. Cersei makes friends with her enemies, as a way to take power back from the High Sparrow. I can't believe I'm actually starting to root for Cersei. Theon returns home and makes amends with his sister, asking to help her take her place on the Iron Throne. There's a tense scene between Ramsay Bolton and Osha. Sadly, it's Osha that gets a knife in her neck instead of Ramsay. But, there's still six episodes left season. I suppose I can dream. Sansa tries to rally Jon when they discover Ramsay has Rickon. Daenerys burns the Dothraki Khals to death, and takes command of the Dothraki. So far, season 6 has continued to build up steam for me. Every storyline here had a purpose, and I was fully invested, even in story lines that have dragged for me in past episodes this season.
