(If you hadn’t inferred, yeah, I ‘ship it.) He offers her his service again, and she looks so damn happy as she says it would be her honor to take him back.

“I wouldn’t be here if I hadn’t,” he answers. You found a cure?” she asks, unable to stop smiling. She argues that they need to be strong to help people, and “sometimes strength is terrible.” Then she presses him about the knife-in-the-heart thing that Davos mentioned when they first arrived, but Jon brushes it off, and then Jorah shows up so SHH EVERYONE ELSE STOP TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING. “They’re beautiful, aren’t they?” she says once she dismounts, “They’re my children.” She gives him a vague debrief on the battle, then they discuss tactics. Threatened? Interested? Meanwhile, I’m damn near sure the giant lizard is smiling. Danerys looks on, but it’s hard to read her expression. HOUSE TARGARYEN | Daenerys rides back to Dragonstone on Drogon - who seems to be doing well, despite taking that hit during the fight - and Jon gets close enough to the beast to pet him on the nose once they land. Pretty much all the remaining standing soldiers hit the ground after that one. Then Dickon follows suit, making the Tarlys stand as Drogon flambés them - even though Tyrion counsels mercy and jailing instead of death. Randall chooses death, even though Tyrion argues that his allegiance to Cersei is a recent one. Among those still standing: the Tarly men. I’m not here to murder, and all I want to destroy is the wheel that has rolled over rich and poor to the benefir of no one but the Cersei Lannisters of the world.” She offers everyone there a choice: Bend the knee and join her cause, or “refuse and die.” Some knee before the dragon roars a whole lot more kneel after. Meanwhile, Drogon sits on a hill screeching while Daenerys addresses the prisoners of war.


Tyrion surveys the battlefield, which is ash… and that’s pretty much it. While Bronn is musing about how he’s going to leave the fight long before the dragons attack King’s Landing. Jaime is gobsmacked by the fact that a freakin’ dragon nearly toasted his biscuit - and that there are two more of them. They make it to land, gasping and throwing up, and that’s where Jaime’s first words are “Thank you.” Oh wait, no, they’re “You could’ve killed me.” Nice. HOUSE LANNISTER: BARBECUED EDITION | In the aftermath of last week’s battle, the show doesn’t make us wait: Bronn surfaces from the body of water he threw Jaime into, and then he hauls the very much alive Jaime up for air right after.

Read on for the highlights of “Eastwatch.” heading beyond The Wall, pregnant Cersei, the return of Jorah, a whole new plan for Daenerys’ gang… you catch the drift. Processes that used to take days, weeks and months of story time unfold in mere minutes in this penultimate season, and like Daenerys on Drogon, it’s all I can do to just hold on. Is anyone else a little thrown by how quickly everything - travel, news, major life events - seem to be happening on Game of Thrones this season? But a startling act of treachery directed at young Bran may end up postponing their respective departures.Need to catch up? Check out the previous Game of Thrones recap here. Unable to refuse his old friend and king, Ned prepares to leave for King's Landing, as Jon Snow decides to travel north to Castle Black to join the Night's Watch, accompanied by a curious Tyrion. Robert arrives at Winterfell with his wife, Queen Cersei, and other members of the Lannister family: her twin brother Jaime, dwarf brother Tyrion, and Cersei's son and heir to the throne, 12-year-old Joffrey. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea in Pentos, Viserys Targaryen hatches a plan to win back the throne by forging an allegiance with the nomadic Dothraki warriors by giving its leader, Khal Drogo, his lovely sister Daenerys's hand in marriage. Returning home, Ned learns from his wife Catelyn that his mentor, Jon Arryn, has died in the Westeros capital of King's Landing, and that King Robert is on his way north to offer Ned the position as the King's Hand. A Night's Watch deserter is tracked down outside of Winterfell, prompting swift justice from Lord Eddard 'Ned' Stark, and raising concerns about the dangers in the lawless lands north of the Wall.
