Turns out the Lannisters debts are coming due (take a swig because Cersei trots out the family catchphrase), and she's concerned that the bankers might switch their funding to Dany. But it's weirdly prescient that Littlefinger suggests that she play out all eventualities in her mind right before someone who can actually do that (to some degree) comes back into her life.Īs for Sam, the poor lad worked wonders with Jorah (who is off to pledge himself to Dany again, clearly not having learned that she's Just Not That Into Him), and was briefly given some praise before Jim Broadbent's Archmaester Ebrose put him back to work on another terrible task.Īnd in slightly more expositional terms, we had Cersei receiving a visit from Tycho Nestoris (Mark Gatiss), representative of the Iron Bank.
We have to admit we're looking forward to the day that he's able to put Euron back in his place.Įlsewhere, we got other reunions, including Sansa and Bran, where the former learned that the latter is the Three-Eyed Raven and replied, "I don't know what that means." Welcome to the club, Sansa, we're having jackets made with question marks on them.

And his march on Highgarden, plus his idea to effectively empty Casterly Rock and leave it for Dany's forces to claim showed he's still got it where it counts. Jamie was probably not feeling great either, listening to all that talk, but at least he's still the focus of his sister's affections. Euron, meanwhile, continues to jockey for the position of New Joffrey, by which we mean his attitude to life, not his relationship with Cersei. As for Ellaria, she faces a harrowing prison stay watching her remaining daughter rot. Poor Tyrene became the latest Sand Snake to crumble, and the entire family must be wishing that they'd never made the trip. He's the King in the North." Oh, and the dragons showed up! We were worried that Jeff Goldblum would wander into shot and exclaim, "Eventually you might have dragons on your, on your Dragonstone, right? Hello? Yes?"įor those who don't want their episodes to just be people standing around chatting, we also got the titular Queen's Justice, as Cersei (via Euron's "gift") got to exact revenge on Ellaria for the death of Myrcella. And top marks for following up Dany's list of titles with Davos' simple, "This is Jon Snow. While we were treated to the sight of Snow brooding while staring at the ocean (someone's preparing for their moody indie rock album cover, we see), the scenes at Dragonstone did at least move things along, as clever Tyrion figured out that offering the olive branch of Dragonglass would help make Jon more conducive to a potential alliance. Even if that might end up being a pyrrhic victory, given the Lannisters' own smart thinking in battle. And while some of his tactics haven't quite worked out – whoops on the Iron Islands fleet front – his craftiness about Casterly Rock's sewer design certainly comes in handy for Grey Worm and the Unsullied. We've missed the truly funny side of Tyrion. Peter Dinklage naturally runs away with the scenes, asking after Sansa "does she miss me terribly?" and passing off his own advice as ancient knowledge. Suffice to say, they're talking at cross-purposes, so thank goodness for the wit and wisdom of Tyrion Lannister, who, you'll recall, has had dealings with Jon before. Before that, though, there's the first, iconic meeting of Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen, which largely involves her demanding his loyalty (and recognition of her claim to rule the world) and his talk of the Army of the Dead.
Turns out, she'll suffer death by poison, but then going out drinking is probably what she'd want.
Two, actually, though what we see of the Lannisters taking the Tyrell stronghold of Highgarden hardly qualifies, since Jaime is almost able to just amble in and start telling Lady Olenna what's going to happen next.
It's a week of reunions and grudges being settled this week, with the episode roughly following the same structure as last week – a lot of chat, then a swift but still impressive battle near the end. If you need a briefing for this season, DO NOT READ ON.
