Cersei is standing at the spot King's Landing is on, reviewing her strategic position. In The Red Keep, Cersei Lannister oversees a still-in-progress floor map of the Seven Kingdoms. When Jon receives a raven from Cersei Lannister demanding he recognize her as the one true ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, they discuss their enemies - Jon is focused on the Night's King while Sansa is concerned about the threat in the south, Cersei. Sansa tells Jon that though he is good at leading, he must be smarter than their father and brother, who made mistakes and were killed. Later, in a private moment over the ramparts of Winterfell, Sansa and Jon bicker over his decision and her conduct in front of the Northern lords and ladies. Sansa publicly objects, telling Jon to give the castles to families who fought for him, but Jon says that Ned Umber and Alys Karstark are not to blame for their relatives’ actions and stands by his decision. When the issue of the castles that had belonged to the Karstarks and Umbers arises, Jon pardons and reissues the titles and castles to Ned Umber and Alys Karstark - the last members of their houses - to the initial disappointment of the Northern lords and disagreement from his sister Sansa. Jon then insists (to the groans of Northern Lords) that all able young men and women will be trained to fight so as to defend against the coming battle against the White Walkers. Jon addresses the issue of the Wall being their primary defense against the White Walkers and Tormund, realizing Jon needs the Free Folk to man Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, agrees to man the castle for him. He explains they need dragonglass as dragonglass is one of the substances that can kill White Walkers. The Night's Watch bring the two wandering lordlings back to the Seven Kingdoms after their quest.Īt Winterfell, King Jon Snow prepares for the defense of the North, addressing the Northern lords and ladies. Bran reveals to Edd that he has seen him at the Fist of the First Men and at Hardhome. Meera Reed reveals to Edd that they are in fact Northern nobility returning back to the Seven Kingdoms. The Night's Watch led by Dolorous Edd Tollett investigates, asking them if they are Wildlings. Near the Wall, we see Bran Stark warg out as Meera Reed stands before the entrance to Wall. Among the retinue, undead giants march with them. North of the Wall, we see the Army of the Dead led by the White Walkers marching forward. We go through the opening credits, and for the first time ever, the revolving map stays entirely within Westeros, signifying the arrival and homecoming of a particular Westerosi exile. As the Frey women stand in shock, Arya gives them a warning to tell others: "Winter came for House Frey." Walder Frey removes his face to reveal he was actually Arya Stark, using her training of preparing faces for the Faceless Men to continue her revenge quest. In less than a minute, they are all dead, an entire house wiped out in one fell swoop. At this, all the Frey men begin coughing and bleeding before collapsing. But, they made one fatal mistake: they didn't kill all the Starks that night. Instead, he reminisces about how they destroyed the Starks, with an increasingly mocking speech reminding them that they slit the throat of a mother of five, betrayed a king who had been given guest right, and stabbed a woman pregnant with her child. As they drink, Lord Frey oddly does not take a gulp. Walder orders his child-wife not to drink, as it would be a waste of fine wine. Barmaids pass out goblets to all the men and they drink. He uncharacteristically calls for a toast to them, having defeated the Tullys last season. "The Late" Walder Frey sits in his hall, which is filled with all the male members of his family: sons, grandsons, great-grandsons, bastard sons, and more. Season the Seventh begins with a cold opening at The Twins.
