Episode notes
Winterfell braces for the Army of the Dead as Jaime Lannister arrives without Cersei’s promised army, forcing Daenerys, Sansa, and Brienne to decide his fate. Bran becomes bait for the Night King, old allies return, and Jon reveals his Targaryen identity to Daenerys just as the dead reach Winterfell.
The hour turns survival planning into character reckoning: northern independence, Daenerys’s claim, Theon’s redemption, Brienne’s knighthood, and Jon’s parentage all collide before battle. The recap clarifies how unresolved politics and personal debts shape the alliance at its most vulnerable moment.
