Stannis and his army face the ravages of winter and Ser Davos recommends they return to Castle Black. At Winterfell, Sansa begs a terrified Theon to help her escape but he proves an inadequate ally.

In King's Landing, Lady Olenna calls on the High Sparrow to seek her grandchildren's release but gets no satisfaction. She may have found an ally. A gloating Cersei visits Margaery in the cells below the Red Keep but the High Septon has a surprise for her. In Dorne, Jaime sees Myrcella who makes it clear that she considers Dorne her home and that she has no intention of leaving. Written by garykmcd
Love and meetings and desire to escape and need to escape the lover ones. And the brutal side of enemies anihilation. An episode about "gifts". Different and not comfortable. Because all are pieces around the truth. Not the comfortable one but necessary. Gilly and Samwell. Samwell and Aemon. Sansa and Theon.High Sparrow against fake almighty Cersei. And, sure, Mormont and his Dannerys. An episode for reflections. About love, power and fragilities.
