If they could show the southerners that the threat was real, it would be easier for them to convince them to join the cause. Jon and a small crew of the world’s top swordsmen ventured North of the Wall to retrieve a wight. Jaime did his best to convince Cersei of this as well. The true war was the war against the dead, the rest could be sorted out afterward. Once she finished flexing on Jaime, Jon and her advisory group convinced her that it was time for a plan that didn’t involve coming off a little too burn-ey (like her father). This moment was by far the most effective Drogon has been in the series. She called on Drogon, fired up the Dothraki and flew to the convoy of supplies to burn the Lannister army to a crisp. With frustration mounting, Dany decided it was time for a show of force.
They took Casterly Rock because Jaime left it empty and attacked Highgarden, a useful castle full of gold and supplies. During this time, Dany, Tyrion and Varys were being outsmarted in every battle they waged against the Lannisters.
These two meeting brought us one of the funnier moments in Game of Thrones history.Īfter some convincing and very convenient cave hieroglyphics, Dany agreed to let Jon mine the area and take what he needs. When he got there, she was more concerned with him “bending the knee” than anything else. Jon hopped on a horse and set off to Dragonstone to meet with Daenerys and negotiate a mining deal. After Sam discovered the massive supply of dragonglass under Dragonstone, he sent a raven to tell Jon how useful it would be in the Great War to come. Jon traveled the most of anyone in season 7. Jon Snow is the rightful heir to the Iron Throne and a full-blown Targaryen. Sam (actually, Gilly) found out through an old maester’s notes that Rhaegar and Lyanna were also secretly married when all of this happened. Bran had discovered that Jon is actually the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark. Littlefinger was murdered in episode 7, giving us yet another very satisfying Game of Thrones moment.Īnother important moment happened late in the season at Winterfell when Sam and Gilly showed up to help out in the coming war. He set a plan in motion, as he does, and wound up getting sold out by that snitch, Bran Stark, who can now see everything that’s ever happened. Littlefinger saw this as an opportunity to turn the sisters against each other. She’s wild and in charge of “hundreds” of wolves so Arya is forced to say goodbye (for now).Īt Winterfell, Arya and Sansa’s reunion was warm at first, but Arya quickly became skeptical of Sansa’s motives and her supposed lack of support for Jon while he was away. Nymeria’s path mimics Arya in that she doesn’t want to be a pet. She decided to travel North to her family and on the trip ran into her direwolf Nymeria, now in command of a pack of wolves. After running into Ed Sheeran and some of his friends, she met up with her old friend Hot Pie and found out that Jon Snow had taken back Winterfell. “Leave one wolf alive and the sheep are never safe.” Amazing.įrom there, Arya was on her way to King’s Landing to murder Cersei and cross another name off her list. Arya Stark, fresh off of her clever and satisfying murder of Walder Frey, face swapped as him and assembled every single important person in the Frey family for a feast.
Game of Thrones‘ seventh season opened with one of the best revenge scenes in the whole series. What happened in Game of Thrones season 7 Some key points will be glanced over in favor of what will come to be important this season. Keep in mind: The following points should serve as reminders as to what happened in the season, but are focused in relation to season 8. (I worked out the math and it still all made sense, relax, travel truthers.) With only seven episodes, there was a lot of ground to cover, both figuratively and literally, as the characters made best use of their fastest travel options on multiple occasions. Season 7 was the first of the final two shortened seasons. ICYMI, you can read recaps of season 1, season 2, season 3, season 4, season 5 and season 6 through those links.
