![]() Why do Randyll and Dickon decide to die rather than bend the knee to Daenerys? Cuz. Why? Because it's better than sitting in a cell. The Hound and Beric Dondarrion agree to help Jon. ![]() Not that she's alone: Everyone this episode is itching for action, so much so that their actual actions seem amazingly unmotivated. She launches into logistics with nary a hello. He's back from the almost-certainly-dead (having essentially admitted his suicide wish to Bronn), but Cersei seems pretty unmoved about his return. And that remarkable team in Eastwatch almost dissolves into mutual recriminations until Jon - ever the effective diplomat - reminds them that they are on the same side as they are not (at this point in time, and strictly speaking) dead.Įqually abrupt is Jaime's reunion with Cersei. Sam is done with academic conventions, particularly the poop part, which we've seen him deal with in retch-inducing detail. Randyll Tarly uses his last living moments to upbraid Tyrion for killing his father ("also, foreigners stink"). Gendry is so done making armor for the family that killed his father that he walks away mid-project (he also reminds the Brotherhood of how they wronged him). Davos reminds Tyrion that he burned his son with wildfire. Littlefinger digs up an old bit of Stark drama - a letter she was forced to write her family as a hostage in King's Landing - to foment Arya's distrust of her sister. Arya reminds Sansa of how shallow she used to be. Varys darkly remembers his experience "just following orders" for the Mad King. Cersei seethes over Jaime's message from Olenna. But this was a charmingly talky episode, largely because long-separated characters are finally back together and everyone is in the mood to revive old wrongs.
