KING'S LANDING & THE SOUTH
A RE-MEETING Riverrun. I have his sword.
HOUSE TARGARYEN SACKS KING'S LANDING
DANY IS READY TO HEAR THE TRUTH The cellars of the Red Keep. "Take me down to the cellars, Ser," she'd bidden him. "It's time I saw the dragon skulls."
THE ROSE AND THE LION DISCUSS THEIR DRAGON QUEEN Tower of the Hand. "The last time I was graced with the beauty of your presence was at your wedding to my eldest nephew."
DISCUSSING THE NORTHERN ISSUE The Godswood, King's Landing. "We have a long road to walk with them in order to welcome them back into the Seven Kingdoms, in order to get them to acknowledge you as their Queen."
A CONVERSATION ON THE KINGSROAD The Kingsroad. "While your sister was in the Vale, under the false name Alayne Stone, we had been contracted to marry."
THE NORTHERN CONTINGENT ARRIVES IN KING'S LANDING
THE BASTARD AND THE DWARF The Red Keep. It had not been easy to leave behind his direwolf.
AN ATTEMPT IS MADE ON HARROLD HARDYNG'S LIFE
MEETING THE DRAGON QUEEN The throne room. Much had happened. Much was still to come.
ALYS AND SIGORN EXPLORE THE STREET OF STEEL King's Landing, the Street of Steel. Alys did not like King's Landing. That was plain enough by her constant expression of disapproval.
AN INTRODUCTION IS MADE The gardens of the Red Keep. It wasn't so much a plot as it was a hope.
AND NOW THE RAINS WEEP O'ER HER HALLS The ruins of Castamere. Castamere. There was a certain amount of irony that was not lost on Cersei that this was where she was forced to retreat to.
REUNION OF THE ROSES The gardens of King's Landing. She'd left the moment she'd gotten word.
THE QUEEN OF THORNS & THE KING IN THE NORTH The gardens of King's Landing. What a year it had been.
DRAGONS AND BICKERING The Red Keep. Each day he expected to be thrown in a black cell.
REVELATIONS The Dragonpit. King's Landing was wearing on him.
JAIME DISCOVERS HIS SISTER IS MISSING The Westerlands. Cersei was gone.
CERSEI IS BROUGHT BEFORE DANY The throne room. "Your Grace, I have captured the usurper, Cersei, and have brought her here to face the Queen's justice for the atrocities she has committed against the realm."
POLITICS The gardens of King's Landing. Her time in King's Landing hadn't been dull, which wasn't necessarily a good thing.
SIZING UP THE GOODS The gardens of King's Landing. There hadn't been a moment to rest since she'd arrived, and the looming audience she had with the Dragon Queen spurred her onward.
AN AUDIENCE WITH THE DRAGON QUEEN The Tyrell apartments, King's Landing. She'd been weary of the gardens the last time she'd left King's Landing, but she was determined to enjoy every bit of warm sunshine before winter finally rolled over the South.
DISCUSSING THE TYRELLS The Queen's apartments. Dany was not certain she would ever grow used to the sights and sounds of King's Landing in the morning.
PARLAY The border of the Crownlands & Westerlands. The last time he had seen him, Jaime had been letting him out of his cell, the result of which was widely known.
DISCUSSING HIS DEPARTURE The Queen's apartments. Jon, please come home.
BEND THE KNEE The throne room. For Cersei, kneel.
A LION STILL HAS CLAWS The Red Keep, Cersei's chambers. No matter how large the cage or plush the bedding, the cats always seemed to go mad.
DISCUSSING OPTIONS The gardens of King's Landing. The King in the North had left and Edmure hadn't exactly made a big deal of staying behind.
DISCUSSING THE SEPT The ruins of the Great Sept of Baelor. "It is my utmost hope that we can work together to rebuild what was lost."
A SAND SWEARS HIS SWORD The Red Keep. The city stank and the whores were shy and no one here knew who Daemon Sand was.
DEFINITELY NOT A CONJUGAL VISIT The Red Keep, Cersei's chambers. Visitors. The concept was still a foreign one to Cersei and not one that she took any pleasure in.
DINNER, DRINKS, MAYBE A PROPOSAL The Tower of the Hand. "My brother reminded me that we owe you a highborn wife and a castle."
DAEMON SAND SWEARS HIS SWORD TO DANY The throne room. "My queen, all of Dorne wishes to serve you, but could only send me in their place."
DEFINING NORMAL IN CAPTIVITY The Red Keep, Cersei's chambers. Old habits die hard.
EDMURE SWEARS FEALTY TO THE DRAGON QUEEN The Tyrell apartments, King's Landing. Then the invitation came.
EDMURE SHARES HIS DECISION WITH ROSLIN The Red Keep. The more the thought about it, the more he was certain it was the right thing to do.
THE TYRELL BROTHERS ARE COMING TO TOWN The Kingsroad. "I'll ride in the carriage."
BOYS WILL BE BOYS The Red Keep. It struck him funny that his right hand had been honed by the likes of the Sword of the Morning, whereas his left was being tested by a knight of the Blackwater.
WILLAS WANTS TO TALK BUSINESS The Tyrell apartments, King's Landing. "I imagine there's been much here to keep you busy."
GARLAN SURVEYS THE DAMAGE The ruins of the Great Sept of Baelor. Courage was supposed to come easy to Garlan.
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME Blackwater Bay. Her trip to King's Landing was not a conquest, but almost an admission of defeat, a homecoming without fanfare.
THE PRODIGAL DAUGHTER RETURNS The docks at King's Landing. She had been in shadows for too long.
CERSEI IS TOLD HER DAUGHTER LIVES The Red Keep, Cersei's chambers. "For you, Cersei, seeing her will be a privilege contingent on your good behaviour."
IS TYRION A LIAR? The Red Keep, Myrcella's chambers. Did her mother know yet, that she was here?
JAIME FULFILLS A PROMISE The Red Keep, Cersei's chambers. He was right to champion their immediate reunion, and she needed to find the courage to do it.
PARENTS AGAIN The Red Keep, Cersei's chambers. He had done more than that.
FLIRTATION Tower of the Hand. "Your presence should serve to make the court far more pleasing to the eye and dangerous at the same time."
COURT APPOINTMENT Tower of the Hand. "Have you settled in well at court?"
THE QUEEN AND THE QUEENMAKER The Queen's apartments. I would have had Dorne at once, and the Dothraki Sea would be alive with riders still.
THE QUEEN AND THE USURPER'S DAUGHTER The Queen's apartments. Hers the fury had to be, or what was left of it.
THE NORTH & BEYOND THE WALL
A MUTINY AT CASTLE BLACK
JON SNOW IS RESURRECTED Castle Black. Somewhere in the ruins of the old fortress, Ghost was howling.
VAL AND JON DISCUSS HIS FUTURE Castle Black. Two days had passed. Jon remembered the cold and the blackness that followed, he remembered silence, smoking wounds, and dark eyes.
CONFIDENCE BOOSTERS Castle Black. They not like.
THE BATTLE OF THE BASTARDS
THERE ARE GHOSTS IN WINTERFELL Winterfell. When he was a boy, Jon had spent a considerable amount of time hiding in the shadows of Winterfell.
JON SNOW CROWNED KING IN THE NORTH
LADY KARSTARK SWEARS FEALTY AND A MATCH IS MADE Winterfell. Some still had faith in the Starks of Winterfell and Alys would pledge herself to them.
THE WILDLING SIGORN AND THE LADY OF KARHOLD MEET Winterfell. Sigorn had not knelt and would not, but he and what was left of the Thenns, two hundred odd clansmen, owed their lives to Jon Snow, this Southron King.
ALYS OFFERS HER SERVICES TO A CAUTIOUS SANSA Winterfell. She could not live under the protection of her king and his sister without making herself useful to them.
THE LADY OF KARHOLD MEETS THE HOUND Winterfell. The only thing Sandor hated more than the cold was having to instruct useless farmers how to hold a sword properly.
THE HOUND AND THE LADY WOLF Winterfell. Stolen glances on his part as he tried to match the image of the Little Bird in his mind with the Lady Wolf before him.
MARRIAGE OF SIGORN OF THENN AND ALYS OF KARSTARK Winterfell. Who comes before the gods?
#GNARLYGRIMGIANTSQUAD Winterfell. She was, and remained, the biggest woman he'd ever seen.
JON SNOW CALLS A NORTHERN CONCLAVE
JON SPARS WITH ARYA Winterfell. Different roads sometimes lead to the same castle.
A FAREWELL Winterfell. Petyr was not among those selected to go South with the King in the North and, really, he could see both sides of it.
JON AND VAL SAY GOODBYE Winterfell guest house. "You have many people who you must come back to. Promise me to not linger once you have achieved your goal."
THE HOUND GIVES A CRASH COURSE Winterfell. Training farmers was one thing. They were grown men, or close enough to fake it, and it was on them if they learned what he tried to teach them.
A SOBER CONVERSATION Winterfell. He settling into Winterfell now. Easier, with a proper bed and his own hearth.
DISCUSSING TYRION'S RAVEN Winterfell. Plenty of time to worm his way into her psyche and convince her that she should be Queen in the North, not Lady of Winterfell.
A NAIL IN THE COFFIN The Godswood, Winterfell. She found solace in her solitude beneath the shadow of the great weirwood.
SANSA SHARES HER PLOT WITH ARYA Winterfell. "I warned Jon this would happen."
A MEETING Winterfell. Wylla had frustration to get out.
SANSA'S GHOST COME TO CALL The Winterfell kennels. He hoped whatever she was doing, she'd be done doing it soon.
FEMALES ARE STRONG AS HELL Winterfell. Brienne had watched the young Lady Mormont with interest since her first day in the halls of Winterfell.
POSTURING Winterfell. If Winterfell was to be his seat eventually, and Petyr still thought it could be, even with his plans for young Ser Harrold foiled, Petyr would be wise to get used to the cold.
A RECKONING Winterfell. "How do you answer these charges, Lord Baelish?"
HOMECOMING Karhold. Being back on Northern soil was a relief for Alys, Sigorn could tell as soon as they stepped off the boat into the busy city that was White Harbor.
JON RETURNS TO WINTERFELL
DISCUSSING JON'S PARENTAGE Winterfell. The truth burrowed like broken glass into his lungs.
REVELATIONS The crypts, Winterfell. She stood above them all, looking down on the yard like the ghost of her mother.
JON IS CURIOUS ABOUT SANDOR'S PRESENCE The Winterfell kennels. What he could not measure were the ways in which he'd changed.
FIGHT CLUB Winterfell. Sandor spent more time in the kennels than the training yard, lately.
UNPACKING A ROUGH WEEK The Godswood, Winterfell. Sandor's grasp of time had become tenuous in the wake of his brother's death.
SAYING GOODBYE The Lord's chambers, Winterfell. She isn't my sister.
A VOTE FOR THE NEW LORD COMMANDER Castle Black. They had spent generations, centuries fighting the crows and now some of them were choosing the new leader of the crows.
A BEAR AND A HOUND Winterfell. Lady Stark didn't go for walks every night, and the night previous was one of them, which meant he'd gotten a fair amount of sleep.
THE SHEEP ARE NEVER SAFE Near Moat Cailin. Maybe dragons would not have been so bad.
ARYA'S WOLF DREAMS Winterfell. The wolf dreams were back, and with them the smells of earth and snow and fresh blood, and the thrill of running with a pack.
GUYS BEIN' GUYS Winterfell. He had entirely too much on his mind, and watching the Free Folk train was a welcome distraction.
TALKS AFTER SPARRING The Godswood, Winterfell. He paced in front of the tree, his boots crushing the snow beneath him as he waited for his mermaid.
ARYA SAVES HER LAST FRIEND Moat Cailin. The snow had not let up for the three days that she'd been on the road, and Arya suspected that the horse under her was dying.
DRAGONS COME TO WINTERFELL Winterfell. Years had passed since those silly stories, and hundreds more since a dragon had come to Winterfell.
TRAVELING TO CASTLE BLACK Beyond the Wall. Every step put them closer to the Wall, closer to Winterfell.
A RESCUE MISSION Hardhome. The Night King was only supposed to be a legend.
RESCUE COMPANY RETURNS TO CASTLE BLACK
AWKWARD Castle Black. Just as she began to write a short missive to Sansa another horn blast was heard.
A BROTHERLY REUNION Castle Black. Jon remembered him still as the child who'd climbed the walls of Winterfell like a squirrel.
A FRANK DISCUSSION The King's Tower, Castle Black. His heart was heavy when he joined Daenerys in the King's Tower.
JON RETURNS FROM HARDHOME Winterfell. Two full moons passed and still Jon had not returned.
WINTERFELL GETS ITS BLACKSMITH Winterfell. In the distance, beyond the wolfswood, a direwolf howled.
THE PACK SURVIVES The Godswood, Winterfell. A wolf's cry called her to the godswood.
INTRODUCTIONS The Great Hall, Winterfell. When she fell asleep the wolves were howling, hunting but finding nothing, and when she woke she was hungry.
LARENCE MEETS THE KING IN THE NORTH Winterfell. Jon Snow had fared better than most bastards, better than Larence indeed.
TORMUND GOES TO SANDOR FOR ADVICE Winterfell. She was power and beauty personified. He just needed a way to win her.
A RESPITE Winterfell. A hush seemed to fall over the grounds as Drogon flew silently past them.
JORAH REPORTS TO HIS QUEEN Winterfell. For his Queen he would go anywhere, even North.
TYRION RETURNS TO THE NORTH Winterfell. Winter had come, and the early dark with it.
TYRION AND SANSA REUNITE Winterfell. With her purpose revived, Sansa bade Sandor to send for her former lord husband.
ARYA MEETS DAENERYS The Godswood, Winterfell. When Arya heard the dragon scream and saw it swoop low over the castle, she had fallen to one knee and felt her heart rattle against the bones of her chest.

TYENE SAND AND DAEMON SAND TRAVEL NORTH
GETTING THEIR AFFAIRS IN ORDER The Boneway. He had anticipated a loss of privacy when they reached the bustle and press of King's Landing, but even on the road Tyene's crusty old doddering septon was never far.
