Then the High Sparrow brings in Ollie, the young blond in bed with Loras when Margaery intruded a few episodes ago. She succeeds at first - there's an impromptu interrogation by the High Sparrow, and both Margaery and Loras swear against the allegations of the knight's homosexuality. Olenna Tyrell, informed of Loras's imprisonment, has made her way to King's Landing to confront Cersei about her treachery. Grandma Tyrell swings in to save the day, but Margaery and Loras are jailed Ellaria Sand, who was behind the plot, is apprehended as well. The guards of the Martell estate are swift to stop the fight, forcing both parties to surrender. They're out to avenge their father's death - but a fight breaks out as soon as the Snakes cross paths with Bronn and Jaime. She's also being hunted by the Sand Snakes, the bastard daughters of the late Oberyn Martell. Problem is, they're not the only people after Myrcella. They're there to rescue Myrcella Baratheon, Jaime's niece (and secret daughter). Jaime and Bronn, disguised in Dornish garb, make it into the Martell compound. If nothing else, they're headed back in Dany's direction. "Take me to Slaver’s Bay, put a sword in my hand, I’ll prove my worth," Jorah promises. Now that Daenerys has reopened fighting pits in Meereen, Jorah could bring in some decent cash for the slavers. Jorah, meanwhile, earns his keep when Tyrion talks up his skills as a fighter. The slavers quip about killing Tyrion to sell his enchanted dwarf genitals, but the youngest Lannister is quick to talk himself out of danger, reasoning that any worthwhile cock merchant would want to see Tyrion alive to know that the genitals were in fact those of a dwarf. Jorah and his captive, Tyrion, having passed through the ruins of Valyria, share a few moments discussing Daenerys's right to the throne before they're caught by slave merchants. Tyrion and Jorah are captured by slave merchants It's our first glimpse at Jaqen's shape-shifting mechanisms, though how it all works (and how Arya plans to use it) is yet to be seen. Jaqen interrupts Arya as she's cleaning the girl's corpse, and leads her through a previously forbidden passageway into a room stocked to the ceiling with disembodied faces. Arya facilitates the girl's death, spinning a tale about having been sick herself, only to be healed by the waters of the House of Black and White's fountain. Later, as she scrubbing the floor, Arya is approached by a father with a sick daughter the man is hoping to help end his child's suffering. She's repeatedly tested on how well she can tell a lie and how well she can recognize one - but she fails, and no one will give her any answers. Arya (finally) passes Jaqen's testsĪfter spending weeks washing corpses at the House of Black and White, Arya still doesn't know what it'll take for Jaqen H’ghar to approve of her initiation. These are the moments everyone will be talking about (spoilers ahead). Our lead characters were beaten, imprisoned, and taken captive - but their resilience persists. "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken" was a shocking episode. The sixth episode of season five featured some decisive setbacks, but it's becoming clearer whom Benioff and Weiss want us to root for as the season ramps up to its climax. Moral ambiguity continues to fall by the wayside in David Benioff and D.
