6. Arya Reclaims Needle
Ah Needle, the small blade given to Arya by her brother John Snow before he left for the wall. It’s a treasured gift that Arya won’t give up easily. She would even kill to get it back, and she does.
7. Arya Kills a Man
After a huge brawl, Arya shows what a sicko she is by entering two swords in to two different men, both times incredibly, uncomfortably slowly. That last kill, she even watches the light leaving the man’s eyes with glee.
8. The Hound Kills a Room Full of People
We’ve seen the Hound cut down multiple men before, but I’m not sure we’ve ever seen him, on his own, take our 5 men. He even killed the last one by repeatedly smashing his face and eyes down on an upturned dagger. Game of Thrones fight scenes are rarely pretty, but this one was brutal.

It’s confirmed, there is trouble in the totally irritating paradise that is Tyrion and Shae’s relationship. She comes on to him in his bedroom, that he shares with his wife, at a time when everyone is trying to kill him. He’s obviously not in the mood Shae, take a hint.

Jon is fairly certain he’s going to get beheaded when he returns to the wall, but after some fierce willing talk, and a lot of important information about the coming battle, he will be spared…for now.
