    Storyline

    Edit
    Jon refuses to 'betray his queen' by rightfully claiming the throne Varys urges Jon would be a better ruler, but after Tyrion reveals Varys' plot, Daenerys executes Varys by dragon fire. Jaime was captured, but Tyrion releases him to try persuading Cersei to surrender the city and escape Westeros together. Drogon destroys the Iron Fleet and most of the city's defenses, allowing Daenerys's army to enter. Cersei deludes herself the Red Keep never falls, but the Westeros forces and Golden Company are quickly overwhelmed. The city signals its surrender by a bells signal Tyrion proposed, but an enraged Daenerys ignores it, leveling the city, burning all. Despite Jon's pacifying efforts, the allied army follows her lead under Grey Worm, slaughtering soldiers and civilians in their path, horrifying Tyrion and Davos as badly. Jaime kills Euron who dared him to a duel but is himself mortally wounded. The Hound convinces Arya to abandon her longtime vendetta against Cersei and save herself; then he confronts his brother the Mountain, who disregards Cersei's orders to help her escape for the fraternal battle to the death, ultimately by falling from a tower into flames. Cersei and Jaime reunite but are killed as the Red Keep collapses on them. Jon calls for a retreat as frantic civilians flee the devastated capital. —KGF Vissers

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      HBO staged a scene of Jon meeting with Cersei while filming this episode. Kit Harington said he participated in three fake scenes to throw off leaks, stating "We put together people in situations where we knew the paparazzi were around so they'd take photos and they'd get on the Internet".
    • Goofs
      Soldiers are ordered to shoot with the scorpions by the command "Fire!" It does not make sense to use the word in a fictional world, where combustion weapons are not invented. The command for bow-type weapons would be "Loose!"
    • Quotes

      [the Hound knocks off the Mountain's helmet, revealing his horribly disfigured face]

      Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: Yeah, that's you. That's what you've always been.

    Who is the main villain of GoT?
    The main villains of GoT are the creators of this episode, i.e., David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. What have they done to this fantastic and extraordinary series! Totally disappointed.
