However, he leaves the crypt and exits Winterfell with Sir Davos after waving bye to Sansa. This sends Jon into a fit of rage where he grabs Littlefinger by the throat, making us all wish he would just finish him off. Littlefinger tries to explain how he isn't Jon's enemy, but then really sets Jon off by saying he loves Sansa as he loved her mother. She says that they need a Stark in charge in Winterfell with all that is going on, which is when Jon says he's leaving it in her hands.īefore leaving, Jon goes down to the crypt and has a very interesting interaction with Littlefinger. Like last week, Sansa is also very vocal against this decision, saying it's going to be a trap, with the devious Littlefinger loving every bit of it. As he explains he needs to go, pretty much everyone is against it, even the still amazing Lyanna Mormort. Jon meets with the lords in the Great Hall and it does not go well for him. However, Jon gets another raven from Sam at the Citadel explaining that lots of dragonglass can be found at Dragonstone, which definitely changes Jon's mind in wake of the White Walker threat. Sansa doesn't believe that he should go see Daenerys, as she feels it is likely a trap. This cuts directly to Winterfell where Jon has received the letter from Tyrion as he discusses it with Sansa. Tyrion mentions that he knew Jon and he was a very good man, so Daenerys says she will send a raven to him to come to Dragonstone and bend the knee in support. Perhaps the most exciting part of this came when Melisandre mentioned meeting a very interesting man in the North named Jon Snow, who is now the King of the North. She mentions the prophecy of the "Prince That Was Promised." However, Missandei corrects Daenerys' translation of this from High Valyrian by saying that there was no gender pronoun in the language, so it very well could be "Princess That Was Promised" as well. When we last saw the Red Woman, she was banished from the North by Jon Snow and told to never return after it was revealed she led to Stannis' daughter being burned alive.
Just as this is wrapping up, they receive a surprise visitor, Melisandre. Tyrion is able to vouch for him enough, but Daenerys makes sure to threaten that if he ever betrays her, she will burn him alive. While the premiere barely featured Daenerys, Tyrion, and company, that is exactly who we start off with as Daenerys starts to question Varys' loyalty due to his tendency in the past to jump between supporting various rulers when he sees a better one. With only seven episodes this season, we knew that the pace would have to be faster and you can definitely see that in episode two, which is titled "Stormborn." Last week's season premiere for Game of Thrones really helped to shape what is to come in the seventh season.
