Can someone please check the Hound for signs of possible zombifying? I'm just operating on Generic Zombie Rules here, but he'd be an unfortunate zombie enemy. On our little ice shoal, everyone except Thoros of Myr has survived the night (RIP, tough cookie). Gendry somehow makes it to Eastwatch, more dead than alive, to deliver his message, and a raven is duly dispatched. (Just like Tyrion, I am NOT a hero, I do not like this.) They're hanging out in the middle on a little shoal, saved for the moment because the dead apparently can't actually swim in ice water. Gendry is dispatched to Eastwatch on foot to alert Dany, and the rest of our crew are instantly running for their lives across a cracking ice lake SURROUNDED BY THE DEAD. As soon as Jon ices the head guy with dragonglass, everyone disintegrates except for one random wight, who yells like a banshee, bites the Hound, and summons the freaking cavalry.

It's immediately clear that this is a terrible plan. The Suicide Squad spot a suspiciously isolated cluster of the army of the dead taking a Sunday stroll up to their location, and engage right on cue. He suggests looping Brienne in now that Arya's being weird, as she's sworn to protect both the Stark girls, and I don't know what his game is there. Sansa is taking counsel from Littlefinger, which, as you can imagine, I take a dim view of. This is the most horrible donut I have ever seen. Arya: 'I would have let them kill me!' WELL, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN STUPID, ARYA. Sansa never gets her due, but she is a survivor and she's smart, and this stupid letter Cersei forced her to write is a red herring. Arya has quite the nerve trying to make Sansa feel terrible for doing what she had to do to stay alive in King's Landing, while she was engaged to JOFFREY, as a CHILD, shortly before getting repeatedly raped and tormented by Chief Psychopath Ramsay Bolton. (Here's hoping!) Jorah gives it back, because he's a disappointing person.īack at Winterfell, Arya has a bug up her ass over having seen that old letter Cersei made Sansa write to Robb (yes, the one Littlefinger DEFINITELY wanted her to read in order to divide Stark sisterly loyalties). Luckily, the Hound is there as my avatar and gives him a big ol' 'BIG WHOOP.' Jon gives Jorah back his sword, Longclaw, which is a nice gesture.

(I hope Jorah goes first.) Gendry is complaining about the Brotherhood selling him to Melisandre and I'm like.listen, that was a while ago? She took some of your blood, big deal. I don't know which of them will die, but I doubt we'll escape with everyone we love. Our own personal Suicide Squad grimly trudges north of the Wall.
