'''Far beyond the Wall''', Meera and Bran are alone now. There doesn't seem to be anyone around, with the beating of their hearts as the only sound. They're being pursued by a horde of wights, and soon enough, Meera gives up running. Bran has flashes to a number of scenes: from the fall that crippled him to the Mad King shouting "Burn them all!" He finally awakes from his coma, and says they've been found. Just as the wights descend on them, they get a savior on horseback. With a burning flail and a chain scythe, the rider makes short work of the wights and brings the two with him. Who is this man...

At last Sam, Gilly, and little Sam arrive at '''Horn Hill''', his family estate. Sam warns Gilly not to say she's a wildling, since his father hates them. He passes Gilly off as his mistress, and little Sam as their son. They are welcomed warmly by his mother and sister, the latter giving Gilly one of her dresses to wear at dinner. Sam's father, Randyll Tarly, is coldly contemptuous of everything about him. Under his questioning, Gilly lets slip her true race, which only increases his latent hostility. Even so, he agrees to let both her and little Sam stay, believing this is his grandson. Sam at first submits to this, but then decides he won't leave them there, taking off with both and his family sword, Heartsbane, a Valyrian steel blade that would be useful against the White Walkers, to boot.

In '''King's Landing''', Tommen speaks with the High Sparrow once again, who allows him to see his wife. Margaery warmly greets Tommen, and surprisingly talks positively of the High Sparrow, with deprecation toward her past sins. Tommen protests that Margaery is very charitable toward the poor, but she says this was really about her vanity in being seen to do good works. He agrees with her that the High Sparrow is very different from what they expected. Outside in the city, Mace Tyrell leads his army through the streets wearing splendid armor to where Jaime Lannister waits. Together they march to the Sept where the common people and Faith Militant are preparing for Margaery's Walk of Atonement. Jaime demands the High Sparrow release Margaery before it happens. He refuses, and brushes off Jaime's threats to kill all of them by proclaiming they would gladly die in the name of their faith. A tense scene follows, broken by the High Sparrow saying it will not be necessary, as Margaery atoned already through bringing someone else to the faith. The doors of the Sept open to Tommen and his Kingsguard, astonishing Jaime. Tommen proclaims the new union of the crown and the faith. Befuddled, Mace wonders what is happening, to which his mother Lady Olenna bitterly replies that the High Sparrow has beaten them. Later in the throne room, Tommen dismisses Jaime as Lord Commander of the Kingsguard as any attack on the faith is also one on the crown. He says Jaime will not be punished though, but will serve the crown outside King's Landing. Jaime later complains to Cersei that Tommen has sent him to help Walder Frey recapture Riverrun, but vows instead to have Bronn gather a team of killers to assassinate the High Sparrow. Cersei warns against this, since it would likely lead to his death, advising him to do as Tommen says. She assuages his worries over her upcoming trial by saying it will be settled through combat, and the Mountain would be her champion, assuring him they will still defeat their enemies.

In '''Braavos''', a girl watches a play reenacting the Purple Wedding. Once again, the performances are over the top, even hystrionic. Lady Crane's sorrowful performance as Cersei mourning Joffrey's death gets to a girl however. A girl also notices Bianca, the younger actor who plays Sansa, mouthing her lines, reinforcing a girl's hunch that she is behind the assassination order. She goes backstage afterward to poison Lady Crane's rum, who stumbles upon her afterward. To cover this, a girl compliments Lady Crane's acting, who thinks she's an admirer and aspiring actor. She advises a girl on acting, and a girl in turn points out ways that the play could be made better. A girl is visibly uncomfortable after finding out how kind her target is. Lady Crane takes her tip on improving the play, but Izembaro, the troupe's leader, dismisses her in a sexist manner. A girl reappears to knock her rum aside when Lady Crane is about to drink, warning her about Bianca. The Waif is watching this as well, and reports it to Jaqen. He is disappointed and grants her permission to kill a girl, who has meanwhile retrieved her sword Needle from its hiding place, reclaiming herself as Arya Stark, and now waits in the catacombs below the temple.

In '''The Twins''', Lord Walder Frey, now with a new teenage wife, scolds his sons Black Walder and Lame Lothar for losing Riverrun to the Blackfish. They complain that they don't have enough men to beat his army, and the Brotherhood Without Banners have been periodically raiding their supply lines. Walder doesn't want to hear their excuses, but says they have a bargaining chip up their sleeve. Some of his men drag in Edmure Tully, weakened and in chains. Edmure glares at the men who killed his sister Catelyn, his nephew Robb, and so many of his friends.

Back '''Beyond the Wall''', the rider makes camp and prepares a rabbit for supper. Bran and Meera ask who he is, so he removes his scarves to reveal Benjen Stark. Overjoyed to see his long believed dead uncle again, Bran asks what happened to him. He explains that on the night he disappeared, his team was overcome by wights and a White Walker. His Black Brothers were all killed, and the White Walker impaled him with his ice weapon and left him to die. He felt himself turning into a wight, but the Children of the Forest arrived and saved him by inserting a dragonglass dagger into his chest, the same way they created the first White Walkers. His face shows signs of decay, indicating he is at some transitional point between human, wight, and White Walker. Now, his mission is to protect Bran until he is ready to become the new Three-Eyed Raven and face the Night's King.

* VillainousBreakdown: Walder undergoes one after being informed by his sons that the Blackfish has recaptured Riverrun and at least two Riverlords are now rebelling against the Freys' rule and the Brotherhood Without Banners are rallying the commoners against them as well. When he orders his sons to retake Riverrun, they tell him that they lack the troops necessary to quell the revolt, forcing him to use his remaining hostage, Edmure, in a desperate gamble to retain power.

* WonTheWarLostThePeace: The Freys are having significant trouble holding onto the Riverlands. They weren't even doing a good job of stopping brigands and deserters from tearing it apart in the aftermath of the war, but now they're facing open defiance from the Tullys, Blackwoods, and Mallisters. The books explain this a bit more clearly, but only the ''North's'' army was destroyed at the Red Wedding - the Riverlands armies of the Tullys and their vassals stayed behind in the south fighting on the front lines with the other Lannister armies. As a result they weren't destroyed at the Red Wedding, but mostly surrendered rather than face annihilation. Problem for the Freys is that this means that most of the Riverlords still have relatively intact armies which lived to fight another day.

His subjects have started rising up against him, and as a result his army and resources are dwindling.

* AbusiveParents: Lord Randyll Tarly turns out to be even worse than how Sam has beeen describing him for all these seasons. Toward Sam (though not his siblings), he's a strong contender for Worst Father in Westeros, and that's saying something.
** Tywin may have hated Tyrion, but he at least recognized his talents and knew he could perform tasks given to him. Lord Tarly shows nothing but flatout contempt and disdain towards Sam for choosing to pick up a book instead of a sword.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: The late King Aerys is briefly shown in Bran's vision and has none of the disheveled appearance he has in the books: no cut wounds from the throne, no overgrown hair and fingernails.
** This appears to be a production error given that it was a brief flashback of mere seconds and didn't require much focus: it outright contradicts other descriptions of the Mad King given in the TV series, particularly in the "Histories & Lore" animated featurettes ''for this season'', which show him on-screen and have Meera explicitly describe his deranged appearance. Further, the production team said in an interview that they toyed with the idea of casting a younger actor to play Jaime in flashback, but rationalized that given it appears for mere seconds in a montage, it really wasn't worth it, and relative to the effort involved it just made more sense to dress up the regular Jaime actor in younger makeup, etc. - so they probably just didn't put that much time into making a full Mad King costume.

** Again, consider that Tywin Lannister hated Tyrion, and while he's not above sending him on a UriahGambit, the taboo against kinslaying is so great that Tywin couldn't bring himself to straight-up murder Tyrion directly. Hell, even ''Roose Bolton'' didn't kill baby Ramsay even though he wanted to at first, given how unseemly kinslaying is viewed in their culture.

Leading to the question of if the TV writers intended this as a TakeThatUs moment.
