Daenerys loses patience and angrily says, “Enough with the clever plans.” Tyrion Lannister and Varys tell Daenerys the bad news. So why can’t Starks and Targaryens? Daenerys says she’ll fight for him against the true enemy only when Jon bends the knee. Jon uses this to explain to Daenerys how even different races came together to fight the Whitewalkers. One of the carvings show the common enemy: Whitewalkers. There are carvings on the walls made by Children of the Forest and the First Men. Jon invites Daenerys to the caves beneath the mountain of dragonglass. Sansa meanwhile sees the delight in Arya’s eyes as she cradles the dagger in her arms.Ĭut to Dragonstone. Sansa takes Arya to Bran and Bran gives the Valyrian steel dagger to Arya. There is affection, but the reserved sort. They don’t recognise the person they see before them. Sansa comes and they hug, but there is awkwardness. She gets past the guards and goes directly to the crypts. Arya Stark finally arrives at Winterfell and she did not go to King’s Landing after all. This person knows so much about the world that he is completely tone-deaf before the people around him. Meera comes to bid Bran farewell and is dismayed to see that the person she sees before her is not Bran at all. Littlefinger believed he knew everything, but Bran does know everything. It is a great moment, and the master conspirator is out of his league here. Bran looks at it impassively, then manages to shock Littlefinger by quoting latter’s famous “Chaos is a ladder” line. The dagger, along with Littlefinger, may have started the War of the Five Kings. We switch to Winterfell where Littlefinger is showing Bran the dagger that was used to kill him back in season 1.
