An unexpected arrival from north of the Wall shakes things up, while Daenerys is forced to face some harsh realities in Meereen. Elsewhere, Bran learns more about his destiny, and Tyrion sees the truth in his situation.

Cersei sits on the Iron Throne; Daenerys sails across the Narrow Sea; Jon Snow is King in the North, and winter is finally here.

Jon Snow organises the defence of the North; Cersei tries to even the odds; Samwell discovers crucial information; Daenerys comes home.

Daenerys receives an unexpected visitor; Jon faces a revolt; Sam risks his career and life; Tyrion plans the conquest of Westeros.

Tyrion enlists an unlikely ally, while Daario entreats Daenerys to allow him to do what he does best. Jon's warnings about the Wall's vulnerability fall on deaf ears, while Brienne follows a new lead as she continues her mission with Pod to track down the Stark girls.

Daenerys holds court; Tyrion backchannels; Cersei returns a gift; Jaime learns from his mistakes.
