While Robert coos at his name-day gift, Lord Royce (Steward of the Vale) questions Littlefinger about Sansa conveniently ending up in Winterfell when he was supposed to be taking her to the Fingers. Uncle Littlefinger arrives, bearing a falcon as a gift. Unfortunately, height is the only indication of maturity we get from this perennial boy-child. In the Eyrie, we get our first glimpse of a (physically) grown up Robert (a.k.a Robin) Arryn, Lord of the Vale.
Sorry, Davos.Ĭome Fly With Me! (Through The Moon Door) Oh, and by the way, Brienne executed Stannis. "Or forgive." Watch your back, Melisandre. "It's in the past, but that doesn't mean I forget," she says. Davos tries the whole "that's all in the past" routine, but Brienne shuts it down. Brienne's appearance saves Melisandre from answering, but the seed has been planted for a future confrontation on this subject.īrienne calls out Melisandre for birthing the smoke assassin that killed Renly. This is heartbreaking as I, and at least some other fans, based on comments from last week's recap, had totally forgotten that Davos has not yet learned of the princess' death-by-fire. Meanwhile, still at Castle Black, Davos confronts Melisandre about her shifting allegiance from Stannis to Jon Snow and demands to know what happened to Shireen. Jon pretends to joke ("Should we tell the Boltons to pack up and leave?"), but the gist of it is he's pretty much done with fighting (death will do that to a person) and would rather not lead wildlings into battle for a home that basically threw him out into the heart of winter. "If I don't watch over you, father's ghost will come back and murder me."įinally, it's two Starks (okay, a Stark and a Snow) against the world! But for Sansa, there's really only one option: "Home." "Where will you go?" she asks, echoing Dolorous Edd and you know, everyone on planet Earth. It's a rare lighthearted moment for Game of Thrones, and it works.īut then Sansa gets back to business. They reminisce about Old Nan's kidney pies. Sansa apologizes for being a stuck-up snob. It's a thoughtful, touching moment between two people who have lived through their equal share of horrors - because really, married life with Ramsay Bolton or death by Night's Watch, same diff.
What follows is one of those scenes that makes you forget all the baby-killings, beheadings, and otherwise horrible things this show has served up over the years.
The two enjoy an embrace that belies the fact that they never much liked each other to begin with. It's been a long time coming, and it's glorious. It's Sansa! After six seasons of separation, we finally get to see two Starks hug. Jon is about halfway through his "they killed me, my own brothers, and you want me to stay here after that?" speech when a bugle sounds. "Get warm." (Jon Snow made a joke! Maybe death really has changed him.)
