The episode begins with Meera and Bran still running from the White Walkers and Wights. They are eventually found, but are saved shortly after by a hooded man we haven't met yet. Bran has several flashbacks that continue to hint at the R+L=J idea. Sam and Gilly arrive with Gilly's young son at house Tarly, where Sam was born. There, Gilly meets Sam's mother and sister. Tommen has a talk with the high sparrow, confessing his worry. Tommen is allowed by the high sparrow to see Margery. Margery seems to have come to a new look on life that I think is a little bit scary. Once again, Tommen shows his signature naivety that I feel will be his eventual (and inevitable) downfall. One thing that does make me curious is whether or not Margery is playing a larger game than she is letting on. Immediately, I came to the the conclusion that I despised Sam's father. I felt and understood the awkwardness that Sam and Gilly felt during their dinner with Sam's family. Disgusted by his father's small-minded bigotry, Sam defies his father's decision to have Gilly work in the kitchens and their son raised a bastard, by taking his father's sword and leaving with Gilly and the baby in the middle of the night. I'll be honest, some of these moments drag a touch for me. Arya watches the next piece of the play. Arya does poison the wine, though she hesitates before doing so. One of the most interesting things about this episode is that Arya has officially renounced becoming "no one." This does put her on the list of potential characters that don't make it to the end of the season because the waif is now hunting her with the order of "don't let her suffer." Jamie Lannister makes a move to prevent the high sparrow from allowing Margery to take the walk of atonement. Tommen, however is swung to the side of wanting to atone for his sins. I grow to hate the high sparrow more and more. Jamie Lannister is banished from King's Landing. Returning to Bran and Meera, the hooded man is revealed to be Benjen Stark. Walder Frey is revealed to have captured Edmure Tully. Jamie has a discussion with Cersei, and we learn that he is being sent to deal the whole Tully issue. Daenyres and Daavros ride to bring the Dothraki to Mereen with the plan to return to Westeros and take back what she believes to be rightfully hers.
