"Game of Thrones" just reached its midway point after episode 5 "Kill the Boy," and the tension is only going to continue building to its breaking point in episode 6 titled "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken," which is also the words of House Martell of Dorne.
As the title suggests, a lot of the episode's focus will be in Dorne. Bronn and Jaime Lannister reach their destination and the episode may reveal exactly how Jaime plans on rescuing his daughter, Princess Myrcella. It won't be an easy task because the Martells hate the Lannisters more than anyone, especially after the death of Prince Oberyn.
Oberyn's son, Trystane, is shown in the promotional trailer making plans with his bride-to-be, Myrcella Baratheon. Fans of the books may recall that the young princess' fate ends quite tragically, but with season 5 of the TV adaptation, her storyline drastically shifts away from the source material, more so than any previous season, and the show may surprise its viewers by keeping Myrcella alive.
The Sand Snakes are also shown getting ready for action. Together with Elaria Sand, the girls may be the sturdy wall of defiance that Bronn and Jaime will have to go through in order to rescue Myrcella. In the books, they had to face Ser Arys Oakheart. Arys died but it is unlikely that the show will kill Jaime in his place.
Episode 6 will also delve a little bit into King's Landing. Olenna Tyrell and Littlefinger are back in town, and with the Sparrows continuing to cause trouble for Queen Regent Cersei, it is only a matter of time until one of them hatches a new scheme that could disrupt the current status quo.
There will also be some scenes left to show Arya continuing her training in the House of Black and White, while Jorah and Tyrion run into some slavers as they try to make their way back to Daenerys Targaryen.
"Game of Thrones" season 5 episode 6, "Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken" is scheduled to air on May 17.
