By There were plenty of emotional reunions and explosive game changers in this week's Game of Thrones, 'Book of the Stranger'. (Read our full review here.) Here are the biggest moments that gave us lots to ponder ahead of next week's 'The Door':
1. JON AND SANSA WILL TAKE ON THE WORLD
This week proved that we can have the odd sweet moment as Jon and Sansa reunited after what felt like thousands of years apart. The now no-nonsense Sansa wants vengeance and managed to convince Jon to stay (thank god for that) and unite various northern houses against Ramsay and the Boltons.
We'd like to put money on Jon, Sansa, Brienne, Podrick, Davos, Melisandre, Edd and the Wildlings ending up victorious, but then this is Game of Thrones...
2. RAMSAY CONTINUES HIS MISSION TO BE THE MOST UNLIKEABLE PRICK ON TELEVISION
Sadly, this week we had to say goodbye to Osha, after Ramsay stabbed her in the neck. This season isn't shying away from wiping out characters each episode.
What to Read Next
Knowing GOT's history, we honestly wouldn't be surprised if Ramsay's threatening letter to Jon eventually came true. Either way, Rickon's not going to have a great time for the next few episodes.
3. BRIENNE DOESN'T FORGIVE EASILY (AND STANNIS IS DEFINITELY DEAD, WE THINK)
Well, that was awkward. Brienne came face to face with Melisandre, after discovering that her former master Renly was killed by dark magic. Although Davos said that it was all in the past, Brienne clearly doesn't think so.
Also, Davos STILL doesn't know what happened to Stannis's daughter Shireen. Boy, he's going to be pissed with the Red Woman soon.
Also, also: we're totally shipping Brienne and Tormund.
4. LITTLEFINGER IS STILL AROUND
We'd almost forgotten about Aidan Gillen's little beard before he suddenly showed up to be a generally slimy git again - managing to easily manipulate scrote Lord of the Vale Robin Arryn into threatening to execute Yohn Royce.
Littlefinger then revealed to Robin how Sansa has escaped the Boltons and is now at Castle Black, but that she is still not safe. Robin agreed to command Royce to lead the knights of the Vale to protect her. This is going to get messy.
5. THE SPARROWS MAY SOON FINALLY F**K OFF
We all hate Ramsay, but we're thinking that the High Sparrow and his clan of barefoot preachers are just getting in the way now. Margaery is close to her own walk of shame routine, and finally reunited with her brother Loras, who is (understandably) close to breaking under all that torture.
Cersei now means business, and managed to convince Tommen, Kevan Lannister and Olenna Tyrell to have the Tyrell army confront the Sparrows. Cersei also promised Kevan to let his son Lancel go free after capturing the Sparrows - but something tells us that definitely won't happen.
6. THEON KNOWS HIS PLACE
Yet another reunion took place in the form of Theon and sister Yara. She wasn't best pleased to see him, as quite a number of decent folks died trying to rescue him from the Boltons.
But, she seemed to feel bad for her bro after he spoke of his torture and that he has no interest in replacing their deceased father as king, and that she should lead them. Theon's comeback tour continues.
7. DAENERYS CAN WALK THROUGH FIRE, BITCHES
We already knew about her tolerance of flames, but Dany truly proved her powers this week. After accusing the Khals of not being suited to lead the Dothraki and telling them she will lead instead, they stupidly threatened to gang-rape her instead.
Bad idea. She then proceeded to tip two fiery braziers onto the straw floor, setting fire to the temple and killing the Khals - who had been locked inside by Jorah and Daario (our new favourite bromance). After witnessing Daenerys emerge from the flames unburned, they bow down to her. The books are called A Song of Ice and Fire, after all.
8. EMILIA CLARKE DOESN'T MIND GETTING NAKED NOW
Despite stating before that she was against appearing nude on the show last year - she appeared topless when walking out of the temple. Though, we guess it wasn't totally gratuitous as her clothes wouldn't have survived that kind of fire. Right?
Speaking about the scene, she told Entertainment Weekly: "I'd like to remind people the last time I took my clothes off was season 3. That was awhile ago. It's now season 6. But this is all me, all proud, all strong. I'm just feeling genuinely happy I said 'Yes.' There ain't no body double!"
