‘Game of Thrones’ recap: A quiet night for redemption as Winterfell gears up for a massive battle
By David Malitz David Malitz Deputy features editor overseeing coverage of culture, arts, entertainment. Email Bio Follow April 22 at 12:52 AM What would you do if you had one night left to live? That’s one of the questions at the center of “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” as all of those assembled in Winterfell make final preparations for the imminent battle against the army of the dead.
Tyrion is the first to jump to his brother’s defense, saying that he knew exactly what he was getting himself into by coming to Winterfell in this manner, so why would he do anything but tell the truth at this point? But Tyrion doesn’t have much credibility these days . Sansa agrees with Dany -- Jaime cannot be trusted. He attacked her father in the streets of King’s Landing, leading to his eventual execution and leading to the near-destruction of her family.
But Jaime’s most full redemption comes through his dealings with Brienne of Tarth. After she sticks up for him in front of Dany and Sansa -- arguable saving his life -- he finds her as she watches over Podrick, preparing for battle. Turns out she is commanding the left flank in the upcoming battle but mostly she wonders why Jaime isn’t negging her like he had done in every one of their previous interactions. That’s because Quip Jaime is no more; please meet Sincere Jaime.
She feels let down by her top advisor, accusing Tyrion of being either a traitor or a fool after they are made aware of Cersei’s deception, and Tyrion cops to being a fool. When she visits Sansa later, she says they seemed to have some common ground when it came to Jaime, before Brienne intervened. The two of them are pretty clearly at odds, and the reason is Jon.
Isaac Hempstead Wright as Bran. The preparations for battle The army of the dead are on the march -- they’ve already reached Last Hearth, which is where Tormund, Eddison and Beric found poor little Ned Umber impaled last episode. The Umbers are “fighting for the Night King now,” the group tells Jon when they arrive back at Winterfell.
Dany threatens Tyrion, saying that if he can’t help her unseat Cersei, she’ll find a new Hand who can. But the person most likely to take that spot, Ser Jorah Mormont, goes to Daenerys to express his support for Tyrion. He makes mistakes, but he owns his and learns from them, she tells Khaleesi. In any case, from the time we see Arya check in on Extra Buff Gendry in his workshop making some dragonglass daggers, and he’s all greasy and working with that hot, hot steel, it’s pretty clear what Arya’s intentions are with him. But even a horny Arya is still a focused Arya. She wants details about the army of the dead from Gendry and after his “really bad” descriptor gets mocked, he says that there’s really no way to describe it -- it’s death. “I know death.
