Outline

Arya arrives in Braavos and is accepted into the “House of Black and White” by Jaqen H’ghar, who calls himself and his colleagues, “no one”.

Jaime recruits Bronn to travel to Dorne to find and retrieve his niece/daughter Myrcella, who is betrothed to Trystane, Prince Doran’s son.

Podrick recognises Littlefinger and Sansa in a tavern; Brienne offers Sansa her protection but is rebuffed. Littlefinger insists Brienne stay with them, but she refuses and escapes with Podrick. However, she secretly follows Sansa.

Stannis offers Jon legitimacy and lordship of Winterfell if he leaves the Night’s Watch and supports him, but Jon wants to keep his vow to the Night’s Watch; Samwell nominates Jon as Lord Commander against Alliser Thorne; it is a tie vote until Maester Aemon votes for Jon.

Daenerys faces a riot after executing a former slave who murdered a captured member of the Sons of the Harpy prior to his trial. Drogon reappears, but soon leaves.
