![]() ![]() We get Ygritte’s first uttering of the show’s unofficial motto, “You know nothing, Jon Snow,” but it’s Arya and Tywin’s exchange over dinner, on leaving a legacy, that serves as a sound thematic backbone for this episode. Season 2, Episode 7: “A Man Without Honor” Ellaria tries to avenge Oberyn’s death by taking Myrcella Baratheon’s life but Prince Doran shuts down the plan.Ħ0. Both ascend professionally but also become marked targets for their enemies. In this serviceable installment, Arya joins the Faceless Men in Braavos and Jon is made Lord Commander of the Watch. Season 5, Episode 2: “The House of Black and White” Set against the backdrop of Renly and Stannis’ fight for the Throne, we watch Joffrey force Ros to brutally beat another prostitute, Dany move from one extraneous plot point in the Red Waste to another in Qarth, and Melisandre birth a shadow monster.Ħ1.
