Sansa rejects Littlefinger but keeps his Riverrun intelligence, Arya receives a morally complicated assassination target, and Yara loses the kingsmoot to Euron before fleeing with Theon. In Meereen, Daenerys sends Jorah to find a cure while Tyrion turns to Kinvara for political legitimacy.

Bran learns the Children created the White Walkers, then draws the Night King’s mark and exposes the cave. The escape explains Hodor’s fate, destroys Bran’s sanctuary, and makes the army of the dead a threat that can now follow him.
