Without the Starks or the Greyjoys, he has no idea who to be. You can see Theon is torn: but in the end, his fear – of Jon Snow’s revenge – and his pride won’t let him go. Theon was so desparate to be what his family thought he should be, that he can’t be himself any more. I’ve gone too far to pretend to be anything else.

Luwin: You are not the man you’re pretending to be. Maester Luwin urges him to escape: to use the secret tunnels under Winterfell, go to the Wall, and take the black. Along with the prospect of imminent death, of course, given that he’s outnumbered 25 to 1 and there’s been no rescue from Yara or his father. The 500 men led by Lord Bolton’s son are outside the gates of Winterfell, and the sound of their horns is really getting on Theon’s wick. When he still doesn’t believe her, she shows him what she sees in the flames…

She tells Stannis he’ll do worse, and in the end, it’ll all be worth it, because the Iron Throne will be his. First you murder one of the only likeable candidates for the throne, and then you try to strangle the woman you blame for making you do it. Will Ros double-cross her employer, the one who failed to protect her from abuse and imprisonment? And what is the secret that Varys implies Littlefinger is hiding? He never seems to shut up about his crush on Catelyn Stark, and he’s just publically stated his need to procure some sons and grandsons… Littlefinger looks at you and sees a collection of profitable holes. And oh, look, Varys has come for a visit, and he has a proposition for her that certainly seems tempting in some ways: Given Cersei’s now all-out hatred of Tyrion, I wasn’t sure if Ros’s escape would be guaranteed: but here she is, back at work, black eye and all. Shae cuts through his bullshit self-pity, declares her commitment to him, and says she will stay, too. Despite how badly he’s treated in Westeros, he wants to stay because he’s good at playing the Game – better, he must think, than the people who are currently beating him at it.

The only people left to him are Podrick and Shae, and Shae is sick of King’s Landing and wants to run away to Pentos where they can “Eat, drink, fuck, live!” – but Tyrion refuses. Plus, thanks to Cersei and Tywin, his main sources of physical support (Bronn and the hill tribesmen) have been stripped away. Tyrion has survived the battle, but now he has to endure Pycelle’s smarmy victory and deal with the knowledge that it was Cersei who tried to have him killed. Why do you think Sansa refused two separate offers to leave King’s Landing better the devil you know? Joffrey’s not the type of boy to give away his toys… We’re all liars here, but every one of us better than you.

Littlefinger makes Sansa an escape offer that she refuses, just as she refused the Hound, and he warns her to be careful: just because she is no longer engaged to Joffrey doesn’t mean she is free of his abuse, or free to leave: By “beauty and grace,” you mean “cleavage”, right?

The King shits and the Hand wipes, but who wipes the Hand’s horse’s arse? How is Joffrey going to react to his take-no-shit grandfather taking over – are there more Joffrey-slaps in store? Please say yes. When we first met Tywin Lannister, he was butchering a stag, which was an easy visual metaphor to figure out now his horse is shitting in the throne room, and I confess myself confused. Loras needs to get better at lying, as those words stuck in his throat a little too much. In a piece of political choreography worthy of the Moscow Ballet, Tywin is proclaimed Hand, Littlefinger gets Harrenhal, and Joffrey breaks up with Sansa (sob!) to betroth himself to Margaery Tyrell, at the ostensible request of L’Oras. It’s the last episode in this season of Game of Thrones – and it fills every second of its hour-long running time with awesomeness.
