This week on 'Game of Thrones', Daenerys makes a surprising move, Jon Snow tries to hold on the Wall while making unpopular decisions, and Tyrion and Jorah get attacked while on their way to Meereen.
Furious at the latest Sons of the Harpy attack which left Ser Barristan Selmy and Grey Worm injured, a furious Daenerys decides to fight back at the source of her opposition. She gathers all the heads of the slave-owning Meereenese families—including Hizdhar zo Loraq—and takes them to the place where she keeps her dragons, Rhaegal and Viserion, who are still in chains.
"A good mother never gives up on her children," intones Daenerys. "She disciplines them if she must. But she does not give up on them." With that, the dragons eat one of Daenarys' foes, but the others, including Hizdhar, was spared, as Dany notes that a dragon can eat only so much in one night.
Later, Daenerys visits Hizhdar in his jail cell and tells him that he won't be fed to the dragons. Moreover, she is going to follow his wishes and re-open the fighting pits. And because she feels that she must have a stronger bond with the land by marrying the leader of an ancient family, she coolly informs him that she is going to take him as a husband.
At the Wall, Jon Snow has been elected as Lord Commandant of The Night's Watch, but Master Aemon reminds him that the men still hate him for being too soft with the Wildings. "Kill the boy, and let the man be born," Master Aemon advices him. Jon gives freedom to the Wildlings and unshackles Tormund. Jon also promises to ride with him to bring the Wildlings out of the North and settle South of the Wall.
Meanwhile at Winterfell, Sansa Stark is ready to take on the Boltons, but the task comes with a lot of challenges. Her arrival at Winterfell causes Ramsay's girl Myranda to get very jealous and angry. She can't accept that Ramsay is going to marry Sansa, but Ramsay says that nothing will change between them even after he's married. Over dinner, Ramsay forces Theon, now fully inhabiting the "Reek" persona which Ramsay tortured into him, to apologize to Sansa for killing her brothers Bran and Rickon.
On a boat, Jorah and Tyrion continue their journey to Meereen. They sail through Valyria, and suddenly they get attacked by men infected by greyscale—one touch from the infected will surely pass on the disease to them. They try to fight them off, but Tyrion, who has his hands tied, couldn't do so and he throws himself off the boat. He wakes up on the shore, with Jorah kneeling over him. They lost their boat, so it appears that they have to continue their journey on foot. Tyrion says that not one of the infected touched him, but Jorah didn't make it unharmed: he now has a stone-grey patch on his wrist, which he's choosing to conceal at the moment.
'Game of Thrones' airs on Sundays at 9pm on HBO.
