Everything You Might Need To Remember From 'Game Of Thrones' Season 5
Episode 1:"The Wars to Come"• The season opens with a flashback to Cersei as a young girl, going to visit Maggy the Frog, a fortune teller. Cersei receives a prophecy that informs a lot of her attitude moving forward . In the present, Cersei arrives at the Sept of Baelor for Tywin's funeral. She has words with Jaime, who she partially blames for Tywin's death. Meanwhile, Lancel Lannister is back for the first time since Season 2, and has had quite the makeover.
• Jon trains Olly in how to fight. Stannis asks Jon to convince the wildlings to fight with him to get Winterfell back, and Jon is shocked . Nevertheless, Jon urges Mance to acquiesce to Stannis' request and bend the knee. Mance refuses, and Stannis sentences him to death by fire. Jon shoots Mance with an arrow to give him a quick death instead.• Brienne is depressed after Arya rejected her help. Pod suggests Sansa might still need it.
• When Jon tries to convince Mance to bend the knee, he says"isn't their survival more important than your pride" – the exact same argument Dany will later use on him .• Am I the only one who finds Lancel a lot hotter thanks to his cult makeover? Whoops.• Arya arrives at the House of Black and White in Braavos. She asks for Jaqen H'Ghar and is told there's"no one here by that name" .
• Daario and Grey Worm capture one of the Sons of the Harpy. Barristan tells Dany about how evil her father was, and urges her to practice restraint and give the man a fair trial, and she agrees. But one of the freed slaves kills him, and Dany ends up executingfor disobeying her ruling, which causes all the freed slaves to turn against her. A fight breaks out between the former slaves and the masters. Later, Drogon visits Dany on top of the pyramid but quickly takes off.
• Gilly and Shireen discuss how the latter's greyscale was cured in front of Sam – which will be very important for Jorah later! As part of the same conversation, Gilly talks of how her father killed some of her sisters, and Shireen is horrified that a father would do that to his children. FORESHADOWING.
• Margaery marries Tommen and pops his cherry. She hints that he should send Cersei back to Casterly Rock, and when Tommen brings the subject up with his mother she is not impressed. She visits Margaery, who openly mocks her. • Tyrion forces Varys to go to a brothel with him in Volantis but finds he can't bring himself to have sex. Instead, he's kidnapped by Jorah .• Margaery's wedding dress has armour woven into it – she clearly took Cersei's advice about its usefulness to heart. It also indicates she's feeling less secure than she was at her wedding to Joffrey.• Cersei says,"The faith and the crown are the two pillars that hold up this world. One collapses, so does the other".
• It was awful watching Sansa arrive home to find it invaded by Boltons, and then having to smile at them in greeting. • Sansa visits her dead family in the crypts at Winterfell, and Littlefinger joins her and tells her he's leaving because Cersei has called him back to King's Landing. Sansa doesn't want to be left alone with the Boltons, but Littlefinger says Stannis will soon come to the rescue. Another thing he was wrong about.• Jorah reveals he's taking Tyrion to see Daenerys, which Tyrion naturally finds hilarious since that's where he was going himself.
• In the crypts, Sansa finds a feather near Lyanna Stark's statue – it's the feather Robert Baratheon left there in Season 1. We saw it crop up again in the Season 8 teaser trailer. It's fitting that Sansa finds it just before Littlefinger tells her the story of Rhaegar and Lyanna meeting at the Tourney of Harrenhal.
• Jon convinces Tormund to make peace with the Night's Watch and to fight with them when the time comes in return for the wildlings being allowed safely through the Wall. The rest of the Night's Watch aren't happy with the news. • Tyrion lets slip to Jorah that his father is dead, and Jorah is devastated. Jorah then tells Tyrion about Dany emerging from the fire with her dragons and that she made a believer out of him, a former cynic. The two of them are captured by slavers and Tyrion talks them into taking them to the newly-reopened fighting pits in Meereen.
• Myranda bathes Sansa and washes the black out of her hair. She tries to scare Sansa, but she dismisses her. Reek/Theon escorts Sansa to the godswood, where she's married to Ramsay. Ramsay then brutally rapes Sansa and makes Reek watch.• The girl Arya mercy kills in this episode is the one whose face Arya uses when she kills Meryn Trant in the season finale. Also, the old woman's face that Arya touches in the Hall of Faces is the one the Waif uses to attack Arya in Season 6.
• A storm has created problems for Stannis and his army, and some of the sellswords he's hired abandon him. Stannis refuses to retreat to Castle Black because Melisandre's visions have assured her of his victory at Winterfell. Of course her visions are actually about Jon's victory in Season 6 . Melisandre suggests Stannis sacrifice Shireen to ensure her visions come true, and Stannis is horrified.• Gilly is sexually harassed and Sam and Ghost fight her attackers off.
• Qyburn visits Cersei and tells her Pycelle made Kevan Lannister the Hand of the King, and also that Tommen is unwell and can't visit her. The Shame Nun tries to get Cersei to confess and Cersei throws more threats her way. • It's quite shocking to see Cersei Lannister licking water off the floor. How the mighty have fallen.• Karsi was on the show for such a short time but damn she was great.
• Arya is in disguise as an oyster seller. She's meant to be killing a bookie, but she spots Mace Tyrell and Meryn Trant arrive in Braavos. She follows Meryn to a brothel, where he purchases an underage girl. • Shireen says"I'm the Princess Shireen of House Baratheon. And I'm your daughter", which calls back to Stannis' talk about how much he loves her earlier in the season. Just to make the whole thing hurt that bit more.
