TRAMA
Non esiste pace, non nel mondo creato da George Martin. Ecco allora che a Meereen Daenerys si vendica della morte di Barristan dando uno dei leader di una delle grandi famiglie in pasto a ai suoi draghi, solo per cambiare idea poco dopo quando Missandei cerca di farla ragionare, e accedda di sposarsi proprio con uno delle grandi famiglie. Intanto Jorah e Tyrion vengono attaccati da uomini di pietra, divenuti così a seguito di un terribile contagio che, proprio sul finire dell'episodio, scopriamo aver colpito anche Jorah. Nel frattempo, a Winterfell, Sansa impara a conoscere meglio le persone che ha intorno: da una parte capisce di non essere sola. Le persone che lavorano all'interno del castello non hanno dimenticato la sua discendenza e sono pronti ad aiutarla non appena ne abbia bisogno. Soprattutto però Sansa scopre la presenza di Theon Greyjoy, divenuto ormai Reek. Durante un pranzo che definire agghiacciante sarebbe un eufemismo bello e buono, Ramsey umilia ancora di più il ragazzo, privandolo ancora di qualsiasi cosa gli sia rimasta. Sempre durante questo allegro banchetto Ramsey scopre anche che suo padre Roose sta per avere un altro figlio, un figlio che sarebbe legittimo nello stesso istante in cui uscirà nel mono. Possibile che Ramsey non sia geloso nemmeno un po'? Difficile da credere. Intanto a Nord Jon Snow è costretto, ancora una volta, a prendere decisioni importanti e difficili. Il maestro Aemon gli suggerisce di uccidere il ragazzo che ancora vive dentro di lui (da qui il titolo dell'episodio) e diventare l'uomo che è destinato ad essere. Così Jon prende la sua decisione: l'unica possibilità di salvezza è allearsi con i bruti. Decisione che, probabilmente, porterà la sua gente ad andargli contro. Ma quale altra possibilità c'è? Rimandarli fuori, oltre la barriera, per poi aspettare il loro ritorno? Magari con l'aiuto di qualche estraneo? No, certo che no. Per questo Jon decide di parlare con Tormund che, dopo aver espresso tutta la sua rabbia e il suo astio per l'uomo che ha ucciso Mance Ryder, accetta di aiutarlo. Infine Stannis si prepara a lasciare la barriera e a marciare su Grande Inverno, dove la famiglia Bolton lo attende.
Missandei visits a bedridden Grey Worm and delivers news of Ser Barristan Selmy's death. The Unsullied warrior is ashamed – not of his defeat, but because he was afraid he would never see Missandei again. She climbs into his bed and kisses him. As Ser Barristan's body lies in state, Daenerys Targaryen commands that the leaders of the great Meereenese families be brought before her. She leads the group into the catacombs where her two dragons remain chained. On her order, a former master is fed to the creatures. Perhaps the dragons should determine the guilty, Dany muses, her hand on Hizdahr zo Loraq. "Valar morghulis," Hizdahr replies. Dany spares him and ends the display. Drawn into Dany's debate between mercy and revenge, Missandei advises her queen to trust the decision that she alone sees. The queen visits Hizdahr in a cell, where he begs for his life. "I was wrong," Dany tells him and agrees to reopen the fighting pits. To solidify her bond with the Meereenese, Dany reveals that she will marry the head of a great family – Hizdahr. Samwell Tarly reads news of the rebellion in Slaver's Bay to Maester Aemon who laments, "A Targaryen alone in the world is a terrible thing." Jon Snow privately consults Aemon about a decision he knows will divide the Watch. The wise man encourages the new Lord Commander to be courageous in his leadership. "Kill the boy," Aemon tells Jon, "and let the man be born." Jon Snow approaches Tormund with a proposition: He will rescue the wildlings north of the Wall and allow them to settle on southern lands – in exchange for their aid fighting the White Walkers. "Make peace to save your people," Jon urges as he unchains him. Tormund agrees to evacuate Hardhome, the village where the wildlings took refuge, but the Lord Commander himself will have to present the idea. The men of the Night's Watch are not receptive to Lord Commander Snow's proposal – "We can learn to live with the wildlings, or we can add them to the Army of the Dead" – and only Samwell stands behind him. Jon's steward, Olly, is particularly upset, as wildlings slaughtered his parents. Brienne of Tarth looks at Winterfell from afar, watching for Sansa. Identifying herself as a Stark loyalist, Brienne recruits an old man to help deliver a message. Later at Winterfell, the old servant woman returns to Lady Stark. Should Sansa ever need help, the woman explains, she should light a candle in Winterfell's broken tower. Myranda, Ramsay's lover, expresses concern about his impending marriage to Sansa. "Jealousy bores me," he tells her. Myranda approaches Sansa and offers something to "help her remember" her past. She leads Sansa to the kennels, where Sansa discovers Theon Greyjoy in his reduced state. Later, Theon confesses the encounter to Ramsay, who commands his pet to get on his knees. "I forgive you," he tells a tearful Theon. At a family dinner, Ramsay makes a show of toasting to his marriage with Sansa and parading out Theon as a wine bearer. He's a new person, Ramsay tells Sansa, introducing him as Reek. As the table squirms with discomfort, Ramsay forces Theon to apologize for murdering Bran and Rickon Stark, and then announces that Reek will give away Sansa at her wedding. Ramsay is satisfied with the show, until Roose makes an announcement: Walda is expecting. "I'm your son, until a better alternative comes along," Ramsay says to his father in private. Roose shares a story in response: Roose raped Ramsay's mother for marrying without his consent. When she brought her squalling baby to Roose, he spared Ramsay's life, recognizing instantly that he was his son. Rallied, Ramsay swears to help defend Winterfell from Stannis Baratheon. Samwell Tarly and Gilly explore the Night's Watch library, and he admits that before joining the Watch, he dreamt of becoming a maester. They are interrupted by Stannis, who recognizes Sam: "I'm told you killed a White Walker." Sam discloses that he used a dragonglass dagger. Stannis encourages him to "keep reading" – they must be ready when the army of the dead arrives. Stannis tells Davos Seaworth that it's time to march for Winterfell – including Queen Selyse and Princess Shireen. The next morning, Jon bides farewell to Stannis and the army marches south. Jorah Mormont and Tyrion Lannister sail for Meereen. Jorah navigates them through the ruins of Valyria, feared by pirates since the Doom – a mysterious cataclysm that abruptly destroyed the civilization. The sight of Drogon flying ahead awes both men. Jorah and Tyrion are startled when their skiff is attacked by Stone Men infected with greyscale. Jorah fights back, but Tyrion is still bound and is pushed overboard. Jorah gets him to shore and decides to continue their journey on foot. Leaving Tyrion to rest, Jorah examines his wrist – and sees the first signs of greyscale.
