We are meant to feel this way, too, I think, as Jaime tells Olenna he dissuaded Cersei from choosing a more gruesome death for her. But she is inexplicably nice to Jaime as he comes to kill her – apparently seeing him as far less bad than his sister. It hurts my heart to see her go – but she does get a great death scene, gleefully revealing to Jaime that she was the one to poison Joffrey. That means it’s the end of the road for one of Thrones’s most iconic characters of all time – last week’s baddest bitch, Olenna Tyrell. Dany takes the Lannister’s Casterly Rock a little too easily – that’s because the Lannister army have strategically chosen to take the Tyrell’s Highgarden instead, intending to come back for Casterly Rock once Dany’s forces are weakened. We briefly stop by Sam and Jorah to check that Sam didn’t murder him by painful pus extraction (all is well!) before plunging into two battle scenes at the opposite ends of Westeros inexplicably quickly.

Tyrion and Jon have long been audience favourites, and though their dialogue veers from fan-baity (multiple references to earlier “the bastard and the dwarf” dialogue, Tyrion joking about always being drunk, Jon teasing Tyrion for pissing over the edge of the wall, Tyrion telling Jon he looks good while brooding) to straight-up corny (“I see you’ve picked up some scars along the road,” “It’s been a long road,”) it is genuinely satisfying to see them interact again. Thank God for Tyrion, who smooths over this touching Pride & Prejudice re-enactment with many tactful asides, successfully encouraging Dany to allow Jon to mine his much-needed dragonglass. Both he and Ser Davos seem out of their depth in throne room negotiations, while Tyrion stands on like an anxious parent watching their child fluff their lines at a school play. Jon, in his Northern clothes, on the south coast of Westeros is a vaguely risible sight – and the show really plays it up with hammy physical comedy: we see the short-statured Kit Harington towered over by Dothraki and tumbling to the ground as dragons swoop overhead. ![]() And, of course, Jon and Daenerys meeting for the very first time. ![]() The latest episode of Game of Thrones was full of scenes we’ve waited a long, long time to see – Daenerys’s troops capturing Westeros castles, shots of the often-gushingly-described Highgarden, the bastard and the dwarf together again, another Stark sibling reunion.
