"Leave one wolf alive and the sheep are never safe." Arya says chillingly as she gets revenge for the Red Wedding at long last. "When people ask you what happened here, tell them the North remembers. Tell them Winter came for House Frey." Season 7 comes out of the gate hot as House Frey meets its long awaited demise. Bran beyond The Wall sees the Night King and the army of the dead advancing. Meera and Bran arrive at the Night's Watch and tell Edd to send a raven of the looming peril. Jon Snow at Winterfell tells the northern houses about dragonglass and needing as many able bodied fighters as possible. The Wildlings become the Night's Watch at Eastwatch By The Sea, Sansa and Jon disagree about the future of two great houses and Cersei sends Jon a letter telling him to go to King's Landing and bend the knee or suffer the same fate of all traitors. In King's Landing, Cersei and Jaime argue over how to handle the threat to them on all sides. High Garden to the West, Dorne to the South, Dragonstone to the East and Winterfell to the North. Euron Greyjoy attempts to make an alliance with Cersei which she declines. Euron tells her that he will not return until he brings her a "priceless gift" to make her reconsider. Meanwhile, Sam is still at Oldtown working in the Citadel with the Archmaester, Brienne is training Podrick at Winterfell and we get an unexpected cameo from a certain Irish singer! Arya learns that the Great Sept of Baelor was destroyed and that the men she is sitting with were charged with keeping the peace because they heard there was trouble with the Freys at the Twins. They ask Arya why she's going to King's Landing to which she relies "I'm going to kill the Queen." While this is going on, the Hound has to face a mistake from the past. Thoros of Myr has the Hound look into the flames and the Hound sees a vision. Back in Oldtown, We see the Catspaw Dagger in the old archives of the citadel and learn its double use and Sam realizes where the living can find as much dragonglass as needed. A certain grayscaled hero makes his appearance right before we see the Dragon Queen arrive at Dragonstone in Westeros for first time. Daenerys asks "Shall we begin?" Daenerys and her advisers make plans for her next move and she is skeptical of Varys. "Swear this to me Varys, if you ever think I'm failing the people, you won't conspire behind make back. You'll look me in the eye as you have done today and you'll tell me how I'm failing them." Daenerys tells him. Varys responds "I swear it my Queen." to which Daenerys replies "and I swear this, if you ever betray me, I'll burn you alive." Melisandre arrives and we learn a certain loophole to the prince that was promised from Missandei and Melisandre urges Daenerys to summon Jon Snow. Daenerys agrees, but adds a required addendum to the summons. In King's Landing Cersei is trying to manipulate and gain as many allies as possible while Jaime specifically attempts to gain Randyll Tarley's alliance from Olenna Tyrell. Sam meets the grayscaled man and realizes who it is, Qyburn has a plan for Daenerys' dragon's while Daenerys' war council has a plan of it's own. Grey Worm and Missandei share a passionate goodbye, we learn what the name for a Song of Ice and Fire was initially intended to be and Sam disobeys a direct order from the Archmaester. Arya sees an old friend at an inn which causes her to change her mind and go North to Winterfell instead of South to King's Landing. Jon receives letter from Sam detailing where Jon can find all the dragonglass he needs and Jon makes an executive decision. Ellaria and Yara have a steamy interaction right before their ship is attacked. Euron shows his true prowess as a warrior and naval commander, killing two Snakes and taking a Greyjoy captive. Keep it rolling with us here at the Riddikulus Crew as we are winding down on this epic Game of Thrones arc. We are in the deep waters now as we have gotten to the point of no return with the only seasons left being the most hotly debated ones that Benioff and Weiss wrote without any books to lean on. As Melisandre warns us in Season 7 Episode 2, "The Long Night is coming. Only the prince who was promised can bring the dawn."
