At '''Castle Black''', Jon has assembled his war council, consisting of his sister Sansa, Brienne, Ser Davos (and Melisandre), Dolorous Edd and Tormund Giantsbane. Ser Davos delivers the sitrep, pointing out that House Umber has sworn to House Bolton directly, as has House Karstark. Sansa dismisses the Umbers out of hand -- "They gave Rickon to our enemies, they can hang" -- but wonders if the Karstarks can be swayed. Ser Davos counters with the reminder that they watched a Stark behead their lord. Sansa and Jon settle on rallying the smaller houses of the North -- Mormont, Cerwyn, Manderly, Hornwood, Tallhart, etc -- which they hope to supplement using the Tully army Sansa has mentioned, which -- she claims -- she heard about from a raven that Ramsay received just before she let. To this end, she sends Brienne on a quest to contact the Blackfish directly, since Ramsay can intercept any raven they send from Castle Black. She explains her brother Jon will protect her and that she trusts him, but Briennne isn't worried about leaving Sansa with her brother as she sees Jon as trustworthy (rather, Brienne isn't so sure about the others: Davos, Melisandre, and Tormund). She has an ArmorPiercingQuestion for her liege lady: why did she lie about how she learned of the Tully army? Sansa has no answer.

** The White Walkers too, the origin of the the Night King is shown. He WasOnceAMan, tied to a weirwood tree and stabbed with a Dragonglass dagger. This, somehow, turned him into the HumanoidAbomination he is today.

Added DiffLines:

* KlingonPromotion: While this ''technically'' isn't a custom that the Iron Islanders follow, Euron claims that he wanted the throne and paid the Iron Price for it by killing Balon. It's ambiguous as to whether or not this would pass muster if someone who wasn't a member of the incumbent royal family attempted it, but seeing how neither of Balon's two legitimate heirs are considered desirable (Yara because of her gender, and Theon because of his having been castrated and stil clearly being in an HeroicBSOD), it ends up making his claim to the throne rock-solid.
