以下详细剧情回顾保留原文

At the Wall

Gilly (Hannah Murray) has a tense conversation with one of the prostitutes at Mole’s Town, before the village is attacked by Styr (Yuri Kolokolnikov), Tormund Giantsbane (Kristofer Hivju), and their armies. Gilly is discovered by Ygritte (Rose Leslie), but is spared by her when Ygritte notices the infant. News of the attack reaches the Wall, where Sam (John Bradley) laments his decision to leave Gilly there, and ponders whether she would still be alive.

In the North

Ramsay Snow (Iwan Rheon) rehearses his plan with Reek (Alfie Allen), who will be masquerading as his former self, Theon Greyjoy. Riding a horse with a white flag, Theon enters the Moat and is received by Ralf Kenning (Grahame Fox). Theon gives him the terms for their surrender, which Kenning intends to decline, before he is killed by one of his own men, who assumes command and accepts the terms. After the Ironborn open the Moat’s gates, Ramsay and his army flay and slaughter them. As a reward for retaking the Moat, Lord Roose Bolton (Michael McElhatton) legitimizes Ramsay, using his new authority as Warden of the North to make Ramsay a true Bolton. The Boltons arrive at Winterfell.

Across the Narrow Sea

Missandei (Nathalie Emmanuel) catches Grey Worm (Jacob Anderson) watching her bathe, and though she seeks advice from Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) and desires a relationship with him, all Unsullied are made eunuchs at an early age. Later, Ser Barristan (Ian McElhinney) receives a letter sealed with the Hand of the King’s seal. He gives it to Ser Jorah (Iain Glen), explaining that is it a royal pardon signed by Robert Baratheon, in exchange for spying on Daenerys. Jorah admits his spying to her, and she orders him to leave Meereen and never return.

In the Vale

Having murdered his wife, Petyr Baelish (Aidan Gillen) meets with a few of the nobility of the Vale, including Lord Yohn Royce (Rupert Vansittart). Petyr tells them that Lysa committed suicide by jumping through the Moon Door, but they do not trust him, bringing up his whorehouses in King’s Landing and foreign blood. Royce demands to speak with Sansa (Sophie Turner), who is acting as Petyr’s niece, Alayne. She is brought in to speak to the group, and she appears to crumble under the pressure of the situation, admitting her true identity to the group. Sansa corroborates Petyr’s story, and convinces them of his innocence. As Petyr walks the group out of the Eyrie, he makes plans to have Robin (Lino Facioli) tour the Vale.

Outside, Sandor “The Hound” Clegane (Rory McCann) and Arya (Maisie Williams) walk the narrow path toward the Eyrie. Coming to the Bloody Gate, they are informed of Lady Arryn’s death by Donnel Waynwood (Alisdair Simpson).

In King’s Landing

Shortly before his trial by combat is to begin, Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) discusses his chances with his brother, Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). When Tyrion is taken outside, he has a brief conversation with his champion, Oberyn (Pedro Pascal), who is confident. Ser Gregor “The Mountain” Clegane (Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson) arrives shortly thereafter, and the trial commences. Oberyn speaks with the Mountain during the fight, demanding he admit to raping and murdering his sister, Elia, and her two children. Oberyn lands several attacks on his opponent, stabbing and cutting him with his spear. As he knocks the Mountain to the ground, Oberyn demands he confess, screaming at him and hoping the Mountain will admit that it was Tywin (Charles Dance) who gave the order. As Oberyn circles him, the Mountain reaches out, knocks him to the ground, and pins him. The Mountain grabs Oberyn’s head, gouging out his eyes before confessing to the murder of Elia and her children, and crushing Oberyn’s skull. The Mountain, suffering from his grave wounds, then collapses to the ground. Tywin rises and sentences Tyrion to death for regicide.
