The High Sparrow - whose scenes are increasingly just an excuse to let Jonathan Pryce do some acting (and that's just fine) - tries to use Margaery, who perhaps misinterprets why she's been allowed to see her broken brother Loras. There's plenty more manipulation throughout the hour, as Tyrion tries to work the slave masters in a sequence that even manages to make Missandei and Grey Worm interesting, while in King's Landing everyone's trying to influence each other. It doesn't seem like Jon, Tormund and pals have enough men to challenge Ramsay at Winterfell, but with Littlefinger and the forces of the Vale finally entering the playing field? Well, just maybe. It's our first Petyr Baelish scene in quite some time, and here he returns to the Eyrie and reminds us just how effortlessly he can manipulate people - especially those as feeble-willed as Robin Arryn. On Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 6, Daenerys is finally in power, and people are ready to fight back.

Someone get this woman a throne, already! Sansa has developed the steel and the resolve to fight for what's right and what's hers, without giving it a second thought. She's also been through a lot, but rather than weary her, it's energised her. And while Jon apologises for his past too, he still sulks today, whereas Sansa is demonstrably no longer the spoiled and silly little girl she once was. Jon's been through a hell of a lot - and died for it - and it's understandable that he wants to be done with fighting. Not only is she self-aware enough to apologise for being such a spoiled child, but it's she who must compel her older brother to fight to reclaim their ancestral home. The Stark scenes also serve as a reminder of just how much Sansa has grown - far more so than Jon Snow has, in fact. We'd only just gotten Osha back, dammit!). Sophie Turner and Kit Harington are superb throughout, and just one scene of the estranged pair reminiscing happily about their childhood feels like enough to counterbalance a thousand grim scenes of Ramsay's sadism (well, almost. Dany's final scene may be wreathed in flame, but the real warmth comes from seeing the two Stark children sitting in each other's company and smiling. Imagine that: Jon Snow and Sansa Stark! Smiling! Even after that initial moment of cathartic joy, the scenes between Sansa and Jon are the highlights of what is already a great episode.
