Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMyranda reveals that Violet (Stephanie Blacker), the other girl who seduced Theon in The Bear and the Maiden Fair (2013) just before he was castrated, has been killed by Ramsay because she got pregnant. This may be an in-joke, referring to the fact that Violet was supposed to be the girl hunted and killed by Ramsay's dogs in The Lion and the Rose (2014), but Blacker could not reprise her role due to her real-life pregnancy. A new character called Tansy was written, played by Jazzy De Lisser; even though Myranda claims that Ramsay got bored with her, it was implied that Myranda herself requested Tansy's death because she got jealous of her presence. The third girl mentioned, Kyra the blacksmith's daughter, is mentioned in the book, but was killed just for sports, not because she talked too much. She never made an on-screen appearance.
- GoofsLoras is charged with sodomy on the strength of the testimony of Olyvar, his supposed squire, who bolsters his testimony by mentioning a birthmark on an intimate part of Loras' body. However, a squire's duties would include dressing and undressing his master, providing plenty of opportunities for him to see Loras naked in a non-sexual context.

Superb Storytelling
This episode is near the top of my list. We have several issues in motion. The biggest fact is that there is no invulnerability among any characters. Tyrion is no at the mercy of slave traders and Jorah is infected. Both are in about as tenuous situation as there can be. Cersei has embraced the Sparrows and has taken on Margery full force, having her cast into prison. She is still ruling the kingdom and Tommen is just a little boy, hopelessly out of his league. Theon still has a bit of nobility in him (though he always was a coward) and may have been pushed to the brink. Sansa has been given to Ramsay and he is doing what he always does. He is a delightfully awful character whom we grow to hate with each passing minute. Then there is the princess who has embraced her new life in a far off land and has fallen in love with a suitor. She is going to be hard to rescue, since her saviors are now captured and she is so resistant to being rescued. With Circei back home, one can only imagine. Also, Littlefinger has made a packed with the evil queen mother for his own gain. She is putting a lot of eggs in his basket. The closing scene is terrifying, but only because of the buildup. So many have suffered throughout this story, so Sansa is not going to walk through everything unscathed. Can't wait for the next episode.
