Season 7 Episode 3 - The Queen's Justice - Post Game Wrap Up

Westeros

The North


Umber / Karstark alliance - Both sons of Umber and Karstark were sworn to fealty to Jon Snow, King of the North, much to the chagrin of Sansa.

Umber S7E4 prediction: Stay allied for the Winter and Undead to come.

Bran - The warg and Three Eyed Raven shows up at Winterfell with Meera Reed. He tells Sansa that he has seen all that has passed, but needs to practice more which just leaves her sister confused. He should have told her about their Dad at the Tower of Joy, how Jaime pushed him from the tower, anything but what he said about his mystical powers.  He's too busy to become the Lord of Winterfell.

Bran S7E4 prediction: Will Bran's travel through the gate allow the Others to pass since the magic of the Children has been negated? Was Bran marked by the Nights King and that will break the magic so he becomes Bran the Breaker or Destroyer? Bran's mission is to tell Jon his father is Rhaegar? But we still don't know if Lyanna's marriage was performed by a septon and thereby legitimate. Will he tell Sansa that they need to hang Baelish for treason against their father? Will he tell Sansa Jaime tried to murder him by pushing him out the window while the Queen and her brother were hitting the hay? Will he reveal that Littlefinger stole Tyrion's Valyrian dagger used by the assassin? Will the lords of the North make Bran the true King of the North since Jon is a bastard and Sansa skips her birthright to the eldest legitimate Stark.

Jon - Jon is in the thick of things as he does not bend the knee to Daenerys, and is not a prisoner -- yet. Talking to Tyrion after the meeting seems to sway the little Hand to then bend Dany to make a compromise for dragon glass so it can be mined and forged for weapons against the Others. Even if Dany doesn't believe him, he now owes her one.

Jon S7E4 prediction: Jon has to get to the weapons and himself back to Winterfell in time before the Others break through. Hopefully he will go to the caves in Storm's End and find the dragon glass. Dany will appear to be desperate to get the North on her side, but he won't know that House Tyrell, House Martell / Sand and the Greyjoy rebellion have all been squashed. Hopefully, Jon doesn't fall for her imperious attitude and agrees to a mutual pact of non-aggression and aid if she wants to retreat to lick her wounds since Cersei will want both their heads and it's best they band together when that happens.

Jon's prophecy: Azor Ahai; the prince that was promised
Lightbringer: The sword that is created by Azor Ahai by plunging the blade through his beloved's heart, fusing her soul (Nissa Nissa) within the object
SPOLIER THEORY: Jon plunges Longclaw into Daenerys' heart as she commands him to and drains her soul to create Lightbringer in order to destroy the Nights King. Because Dany appears to be murdered, Jon exiles himself instead of being hanged or worse by her loyal followers.

Sansa - Sansa is the acting Stewardess of Winterfell, giving commands left and right for the preparations of the invasion. Petyr coos at her on the way she wields power, but she is saved from having to deal with him when Bran is found and they talk by the weirwood tree.

Sansa S7E4 prediction: Will Sansa be Queen #6? Will Sansa be planning marry Sweetrobin and tell him how his mother Lysa actually died by Petyr pushing her through the Moon Door, giving Lord Baelish his due reward? Will Sansa decide to marry Jon to legitimize and solidify the Stark's hold on the north when the truth comes out that they are not step-siblings? Will she just remain single and defiled and become the Wardeness of the North in name by a tribune of the northern lords in defiance of the Crown? Will Petyr take her prisoner for trial of the murder of Joffrey and deliver her head to Cersei?  Will he take Sansa to Harrenhal to rebuild it and make her a lady of Riverrun once he finds out Walder Frey is dead? Will Petyr betray Cersei and use Sansa as a trojan horse to get into King's Landing when Daenarys' army lays siege to the south portion and then overthrow the Mad Queen?

Sister - Brother rivalry: Sansa ahead

Davos - No show for E3

Davos S7E4 prediction: Is he Jon's Hand of the King? Always on the sidelines for diplomacy.

Petyr Baelish - Lord Baelish needs to whittle down his opponents.  Sansa and Jon are completely against him even though they owe him their lives. He surely is still attempting to play double agent for The Crown, feeding Cersei what is happening in the North. If Sansa ever talks to loyalists, she will reveal Petyr advised and aided her leaving King's Landing and then proposed for her marriage to Ramsay to unify the Warden of the North bloodlines. Why hasn't Sansa runs told Royce that Bolton men did not capture her from Baelish. Why hasn't she told Royce that Petyr threw Lysa out the Moon Door in cold blood, changing her testimony. If Royce ever talks to loyalists, then he will tell them Baelish smuggled Sansa out from King's Landing and then Bolton men captured her. Royce would not take kindly to Petyr's insinuations that he betrayed Sansa Stark to Bolton. In any of these scenarios, Petyr's goose is cooked and he has no way to squirm out of the web of deceit that he spun for all the players he's been playing. He has to ensure that Sansa or Jon or Royce never talk to anyone on the opposing side, otherwise his game is over. Petyr's days are numbered as his double crosses are going to catch up to him when Sansa, Jon or Cersei finds out.  Petyr had a hand in their father's arrest. Sandor the "Hound" can attest to that. Royce can divulge that the Bolton's attacked Petyr and kidnapped Sansa, to which she will know he is lying to everyone.  Then she can change her testimony about how Lady Lysa died when Petyr pushed her aunt out the Moon Door in cold blood and not in a struggle to save her life. Baelish was offered the Warden of the North by Cersei after mopping up Stannis and the Boltons for their betrayal of harboring Sansa. Now Petyr has to mop up the Starks, but it gets tricky as a hobbled Bran has reappeared.

Petyr S7E4 prediction: Ever playing both sides, Petyr does not want to be seen by the Iron Throne to be siding with the Starks and a Wildling alliance, but defeating the recalcitrant Boltons (for harboring Sansa, an enemy to the throne for aiding in Joffrey's death) to weaken them on the southern front. His best play would have been to have Sansa and Jon die by Bolton's hand, and then turn on Ramsey's forces with his Knights of the Vale by claiming the Crown's decree of protecting Sansa and disloyalty.  This would have tied up any loose ends that could leak and undermine his plots, while keeping Royce, Robin and the Crown in his good graces. With both the Boltons and Starks bloodlines ended, Petyr could have taken the title of Warden of the North for his double victory. He would then have 3 of the 5 Warden titles, with Mace Tyrell holding the South and Devan Lannister (Kevan and Tywin's other brother) holding the West. However, it appears that Petyr still wants to figure out how to get Sansa to marry him since he claims he loved Catelyn and now Sansa. Sansa most likely will turn against him and expose all his devious plans. Petyr should have maneuvered Sansa into marrying Lord Robert Arryn and making her Lady of the Eyrie and then he can rebuild Harrenhal after the wars. Once Harrenhal is defensible, and the Twins are now up for grabs since Walder Frey and his immediate heirs are dead, he could make a play to gain the Twins by trading Sansa's head to the Crown.

Lord Yohan Royce - No show for E3.

The Vale

Lord Robin Arryn - No show for E3.

Riverrun

Edmund Tully - No show for E3.  Where is Edmund?  Do the Lords of Riverrun take over the Twins?

Arya - She doesn't run into Melisandre or Jon, but good ol' Hot Pies. He watches her devour a meal and mead and tells her brother Jon is King of the North.  Her plans for killing Cersei is put on hold and turns around to head north for home. On her way in the winter woods, she is assailed by a group of wolves led by her once cub Nymeria.  Respectful of her old master, the wolf let's her go unmolested, and as a wild being is not beholding to any master anymore.

Arya S7E4 prediction: She will one day compare scars with Jon when she gets home. Do we foresee a reunion with Arya and Sandor and his traveling brothers? Will she run into Melisandre as the witch  predicted? 

Brienne / Podrick - No show in E3.

Brienne S7E4 prediction: She might float to some Quiet Isle and find a Hound traveling with a band of Brothers. Also, she is stuck in the twilight zone of boat riders of Gendry.

Podrick S7E4 prediction: Still learn how to be a wilderness squire and tag along, and eat some dirt from Brienne's training.

The Fingers

Sandor Clegane - No show for E3.

Sandor Clegane S7E4 prediction: Will his merry band of believers run into Sansa and Baelish in Winterfell and spill the dirt on Littlefinger in his dealings with Ned Stark's arrest? Will Sansa fall for Sandor or maybe he will offer some information and then be asked to chop Petyr from breast to navel to put him to ground for good before fighting the Others?

Iron Islands

Euron Greyjoy - Amazingly, Euron and his sailors find Grey Worm's fleet half way around Westeros at Casterly Rock after having a battle royale near Dorne with Yara and then landing in King's Landing for another audience. He delivers Ellaria and Tyrene to Cersei, but it still put on hold for the royal wedding, with Jaime glaring on after a dig on the Queens' bedroom's proclivities.

Euron S7E4 prediction: With the destruction of Daenarys' fleet nearly complete, Euron can relax and oust the Unsullied from Casterly Rock since they have no provisions to last.  Maybe he will hold on the Lannister castle and Lannisport to keep Cersei in check for the impending marriage.

King's Landing

Jaime Lannister - Jaime nearly ripped Euron's head off while they verbally sparred about Euron's marriage to the Queen. Afterwards, he learns from his mistake of holding on symbols of power, and actually uses his power of the Lannister army to take Highgarden from House Tyrell with Bron and Lord Tarly. With victory imminent, he barges in on Olenna and has a nice chat over wine and crumpets and poison, where he learns it was her that killed his son Joffrey, not Tyrion. And a warning that he is following a Mad Queen who will bring him down in a shared tragic end.

Jaime S7E4 prediction:  With the Vale in rebellion and the Twins in disarray, after delivering the booty and gold from Highgarden, it will be time for Jaime to lead the Lannister army to clean up Riverrun and capture the  Eyrie from little Lord sweet Robin now that the majority of the armies are leaderless. Will the Lannister army be pincered between a retreating Unsullied and an enraged Dothraki force with Dany riding with her host of dragons? Will the Red Lion have ballistas at the ready? Maybe Jaime gets captured -- again, and this time manage to keep his hand.

Cersei Baratheon/Lannister - Cersei enjoys employing justice for Myrcella's death by giving Tyene the "long kiss goodnight" and having Ellaria imprisoned in chains right next to her dying daughter to watch her miserable ending. Part of her victory is spent laying with Jaime while the help can peek in and see him in the Queen's bed. With one enemy removed, she hopes that Jaime will remove the next. If she can get the Tyrell's treasury, she can pay off the Iron Bank or Braavos, as the spoils of war.

Cersei S7E4 prediction: With all her children dead, and no pretenders to the Iron Throne, she just has to deal with the open rebellion of the North (with the Vale) and Daenarys. She only has Tyrion to deal with as the spoiler of news that the three children were conceived out of wedlock with Jaime and not Robert Baratheon. Will Jaime make it back to King's Landing to tell her about Joffrey's murderer? She will feel heady now that two enemies have been crushed and seems to be winning. Will she have the money to pay off Tycho and the Iron Bank of Braavos?

Sister - Brother rivalry: Cersei

Cersei's prophecies:
Each of her children she will watch die before her
She will be killed by Volanqar (younger sibling) -
  Arya has her on the hit list, and Nymeria killed Myrcella so why not go for the mother
  Sandor could be alive since we did not actually see him stop breathing, and the Faith saved him
  Dany might, but she might be too late to the party to help
  Tommen does not appear to be the type to be a kinslayer
  Loras is in no shape
  Brienne has no reason

Qyburn - No show for E3.

Ser Robert Strong / Gregor Clegane - No show for E3.

Qyburn S7E4 prediction: Qyburn has a score to settle with revenge for almost being killed by Gregor Clegane's men (allied to Lannister) in Harrenhal, who then travels with Jaime Lannister and saves him from gangrene due to his severed hand. Funny that Qyburn experimented on Gregor and changed him into a unquestioning servant of Cersei. Qyburn has a huge grudge against Gregor and thereby all Lannisters so does he have a hidden safe-word to turn the Mountain on anyone at anytime of his choosing? Is he playing the long con, letting Cersei and Jaime believe he is a friend, when opportunity shows itself, he will turn-cast and put them in the ground? Until then, what does he have in store for the invaders? More wildfyre?

Frankenmountain S7E4 prediction: Glower more.

Bron S7E4 prediction: He will keep reminding Jaime he was promised a castle and a nice looking bride. Maybe Jaime will give him two castles... the Twins and Dragonstone - if he can win the battles to conquer them.

Dorne

Ellaria - Brought to the dungeons of King's Landing by Euron and handed over to Cersei as a prisoner in perpetuity, chained and helpless to watch as her daughter Tyene dies from the same poison used to kill Myrcella.

Sand Snakes - Tyene makes her swan sand song as she dies slowly from poison as her mother watches on.
(Obara, Nymeria, and Tyene)

Ellaria S7E4 prediction: Ellaria is Queen #3. Will Dorne demand her release? Or will Doran's former concubine come out of exile and reclaim Dorne for herself?

Sand Snakes S7E4 prediction: Swim forever with the fishes, finally.

The Reach: Storm's End

Daenerys Targaryen - The Dragon Queen decides to listen to Tyrion's council about Jon after her steely cold interview did not go as smooth as she hoped. She changes her tone with Jon and makes a deal to win his favor by giving into his request for obsidian. Even if she doesn't believe the Others are real, it still is a way to make an ally of the North in the long run.

Daenerys S7E4 prediction: She needs to move her armies into action before the Dothraki get bored and abandon the cause and allow Cersei to mobilize resistance.  Dany is fed up with Tyrion's clever plans and needs to follow Olenna's advice and "be the dragon" and win the war and be merciless. She also needs to save the Unsullied from being pinched by Euron from the sea and Lannister's from Highgarden. Will she bring the fire and decimate both army and navy? Will she ride Drogon to save the day? Will she admit to Jon that Dorne and Highgarden are no longer in the game, and she desperately needs the King of the North?

Dany's prophecies:
Light three fires - one for life, death, and love
Ride three mounts - one to bed, one to dread, one to love
Three treasons - once for blood, once for gold, once for love

Melisandre - The priestess of Light runs into Varys and the two share a talk on the cliffs of Dragonstone.  The Spider taunts her about hiding from Jon Snow, and she taunts back with soothsaying about Volantis and death. 

Theon Greyjoy - Theon is saved by stragglers and brought aboard ship.  He tells how he tried to save Yara, but since he is alive and doesn't have her, he didn't earn any respect from the men.  They leave him as an outcast on the deck.

Yara Greyjoy - Euron drags her in chains through the streets of Fleabottom and she is given back to her uncle by Cersei to do with as he wishes.

Theon S7E4 prediction: Will the sailors let him lead again? Will they go back empty handed and broken to Storm's End? Or will they fall back to being pirates and head to Essos and chance their  fortunes since war is no longer a profitable business.

Yara S7E4 prediction: Sadly, she is now in thrall to Euron. What does he plan to do with her? Murdering her in cold blood doesn't seem his style.

Sister - Brother rivalry: Theon ahead, but only because he is free to swim.

Tyrion - Tyrion's grand military plan goes up in smoke and ashes as the Yara's Iron Fleet goes belly up in the Narrow Sea before they get to Dorne to launch an invasion on King's Landing. Hope he has a Plan B.

Tyrion S7E4 prediction: Advise Dany and deal with the logistics of blockading King's Landing and Casterly Rock by navy, and using Dornish and Tyrell's armies to launch D-Day against Cersei with the Dothraki and Unsullied trampling the Reach by raiding and pillaging farms loyal to the throne.

Tyrion parentage theory: It is rumored that the late King Aerys II Targaryen bedded Tywin's wife Joanna Lannister after the 10th anniversary Tournament. Since all of the Queen's births were miscarraiges or stillborns, with the last being premature, it is plausible that Aerys' tainted seed could have caused Joanna's death in childbirth to a disfigured boy, even though sister-Queen Rhaella survived many birthings. Aerys taunted Joanna at the tourney, and in the past desired her to be his wife as he mocked Tywin that it is no longer the host's right to take the bride first before her husband has a chance to bed. Tywin had alluded that Tyrion might not be his child by blood, but he upheld that he was a Lannister.  This would tie in with RT+LS=J, and Daenerys, and Tyrion to be the three dragon-riders and all related in the same Targaryen bloodline.

Varys - Varys meets with the Red Priestess and talk about the mysterious future, and where they will meet their ultimate demise.

Varys S7E4 prediction: He needs to re-establish his control over the little birds from Qyburn and get some good intelligence that proves his worth to Dany.

Grey Worm - Grey Worm leads the charge to take Casterly Rock through a hidden sewer entrance and open the gates. The victory comes too easy, and then he notices his fleet being destroyed by the Kraken fleet.  With no provisions in the castle, he needs to retreat, but where?

Missandei - No show for E3.

The Reach: Highgarden

Olenna Tyrell - Olenna gets her revenge as she is put to death by Jaime by revealing that she poisoned King Joffrey, and insulting his allegiance to a very demented sister.

Lady Olenna S7E4 prediction: Minor Queen #4 has been removed from the Game for good.

The Reach: Oldtown

Samwell & Gilly & baby Sam - Sam pretends to be the dutiful servant, but Maester Tarwyn cannot be fooled and brings him to task about attempting to heal Sir Jorah. We don't see how Sam is getting on with Gilly and the baby. Sam is admonished by the maester, luckily he wasn't kicked out of the order for insubordination, and is given the task to rewrite books that are rotting away.

Samwell E7E4 prediction: Lord Tarly  (or brother Dickon) will be after Sam and want to hang him for stealing the sword since it has not been legally bestowed to Sam. Sam will have to get seriously trained in swordplay if he plans on using Heartbane, and seek protection from another lord from his father's deadly wrath or his father and retainers who will be chasing Sam and Gilly down. If Sam can talk the maesters to allow Gilly to stay under protection she might not be taken hostage by the Tarly's in retaliation. Perhaps Sam wants the sword so the maesters can study on why it can destroy the Others, as well as dragonglass. Possibly the Citadel will offer protection for Sam and not allow the Tarlys to arrest him.  However, Gilly and the baby are easy targets and might be given up by spies. Can the maesters discover how to remake Valyrian steel? Will Sam make his way to Storm's End when invited by Daenerys to instruct them how to make weapons and take them north to swing the tide of battle when the Others find a way past the Wall?

Jorah - So the bear knight is given a clean bill of health and Master Tarwyn and is told to leave the Citadel.

Jorah S7E4 prediction: News that dragons are in Dragonstone will led Jorah back to Dany. Expect him to be teary eyed at the reunion, but Dany won't be so moved.

Essos

Meereen

Daario - No show in E3.

Daario S7E4 prediction: Sadly, he will not lead the Dothraki against the Westerosi and allows Dany to marry someone more politically motivated without distracting her or ruining her reputation among the Lords of her homeland.

Season 6 Episode 10 - Winds of Winter - Post Game Wrap Up

Westeros

The North

Rickon - No funeral scene. Bummer.

Rickon S6E10 prediction: Stay dead.

Umber / Karstark alliance - Both Lord SmallJon Umber and Karstark were removed from active duty for life.

Umber S6E10 prediction: Stay dead.

Ramsay Bolton - No Show for E10.

Ramsay S6E10 prediction: Stay dead as dog poop.

Bran - Benjen unceremoniously dropped Bran and girl off at what appeared to be the weirwood tree north of the wall beyond Castle Black. Amazing how the Others just gave up chase. Ben states he cannot pass the wall since magic will prevent him as well as the Others. So if Benjen knows he cannot pass the wall, doesn't he know that Bran was marked by the Night King and Bran will break the magic as a nullifier and become Bran the Breaker or Destroyer? With no way for Reed to carry Bran, is he going to get some wolves to carry him as a warg? We finally got the completion of the Tower of Joy with Lyanna and the birth of the son Ned swore to protect from Robert lest the babe be killed. With the Targaryen Kingsguard just slain outside the tower, it's  verifiably obvious the father is Rhaegar. But was there a marriage performed by a septon?

Bran S6E10 prediction: How is Tara Reed going to get Bran to the Wall? She can hardly move him? Will she ring the bell and Edd open the gate for them? Will Bran's travel through the gate allow the Others to pass since the magic of the Children has been negated?

Jon - Met with Davos and exiled Melisandre instead of having her immediately executed in case she might be of some use against the Others in the future to come. Begs his sister to take the lord's room, but Sansa defers. Then he begs Sansa to trust him more with what she has up her sleeve. Lord Royce is the loudest voice against the Wildlings even though they fought with Jon. Davos and Tormund said Jon wasn't a king but Lady Lyanna Mormont swore fealty to the bastard and Lord Manderly and Glover both upheld the nomination. Jon knows Bran is alive north of the wall from their run in with Sam at the Night Fort. Bran has the lordship right of first ascension. Even Sansa does in Bran's absence. No mention by Jon and Sansa about Rickon's death or hope that Bran could be alive in enemy territory.

Jon S6E10 prediction: Jon has convince the Knights of the Vale to sojourn in Winterfell for the winter to protect against the Others when Castle Black falls during the start of the Long Night.

Jon's prophecy: Azor Ahai; the prince that was promised
Lightbringer: The sword that is created by Azor Ahai by plunging the blade through his beloved;s heart, fusing her soul (Nissa Nissa) within the object

Sansa - Sansa told Jon that Littlefinger sold her off into marriage with Ramsay Bolton which is not exactly true. Sansa was a willing participant to get back the title of Queen of Winterfell. She made nice with Jon and asked for forgiveness about not telling him about the Knights of the Vale. She also warned Jon that Littlefinger is not to be trusted.  Too bad she didn't tell her dad that a lot earlier! Sansa also backed Jon up when the meeting of the Lords voted him to be King of the North. Littlefinger then did his thing with a mere look to instill doubt into Sansa, reminding her of his words that Jon is just a bastard from the South and not a true Stark - not a true man of the North.

Davos - Davos tossed Shireen's stag gift at Melisandre and demanded justice from Jon for the murder of the Baratheon princess. He vowed if he ever saw Mel in the north he would execute her himself.

Melisandre - She admitted that all of them - Stannis and mother, deciding to burn Shireen at the stake. She tries to plead that they would need her help against the Others, but she was sent to the South never to return.

Sansa S6E10 prediction: Will Sansa be Queen #6? Will Sansa be planning marry Sweetrobin and tell him how his mother Lysa actually died by Petyr pushing her through the Moon Door, giving Lord Baelish his due reward? Will Sansa decide to marry Jon to legitimize and solidify the Stark's hold on the north? Will she just remain single and defiled and become the Wardeness of the North in name by a tribune of the northern lords in defiance of the Crown? Will Petyr take her prisoner for trial of the murder of Joffrey and deliver her head to Cersei?  Will he take Sansa to Harrenhal to rebuild it and make her a lady of Riverrun once he finds out Walder Frey is dead? Will Petyr betray Cersei and use Sansa as a trojan horse to get into King's Landing when Daenarys' army lays siege to the south portion and then overthrow the Mad Queen?

Sister - Brother rivalry: Sansa ahead

Melisandre S7E1 prediction: Now Mel is going south, she can run into Arya.

Davos S7E1 prediction: Be appointed Jon's Hand of the King.

Samwell & Gilly & baby Sam - Finally arrived at Oldtown and the Citadel. Sam smiled so nicely at the bearucrat to inform him that he's going to be the new Maester at Castle Black. Gilly was not allowed inside the sanctum of the Citadel. Guess she better rent a room at an inn in Oldtown.

Samwell E7E1 prediction: Lord Tarly  (or brother Dickon) will be after Sam and want to hang him for stealing the sword since it has not been legally bestowed to Sam. Sam will have to get seriously trained in swordplay if he plans on using Heartbane, and seek protection from another lord from his father's deadly wrath or his father and retainers who will be chasing Sam and Gilly down. If Sam can talk the maesters to allow Gilly to stay under protection she might not be taken hostage by the Tarly's in retaliation. Perhaps Sam wants the sword so the maesters can study on why it can destroy the Others, as well as dragonglass. Possibly the Citadel will offer protection for Sam and not allow the Tarlys to arrest him.  However, Gilly and the baby are easy targets and might be given up by spies. Can the maesters discover how to remake Valyrian steel? Will Sam take a wagon load of weapons north to swing the tide of battle when the Others find a way past the Wall?

Petyr Baelish - The problem for Petyr is that he has played too many sides against each other - The Crown vs. Bolton, Robin vs. Royce, Sansa vs. Bolton - that if any of the manipulated agents talk without Baelish present, his plans will be outed. Petyr only has one lose end tied with the death of Roose and Ramsay. For instance, if Sansa is captured by Lannister men, she will say Petyr advised and aided her leaving King's Landing and then proposed for her marriage to Ramsay to unify the Warden of the North bloodlines. If Sansa runs into Robin or Royce, she will tell him Bolton men did not capture her from Baelish. Maybe she can possibly convince Robin that Petyr threw Lysa out the Moon Door in cold blood, changing her testimony. If Royce runs into Lannister, then he will tell them Baelish smuggled Sansa out from King's Landing and then Bolton men captured her. Royce would not take kindly to Petyr's insinuations that he betrayed Sansa Stark to Bolton. In any of these scenarios, Petyr's goose is cooked and he has no way to squirm out of the web of deceit that he spun for all the players he's been playing. He has to ensure that Sansa or Jon or the Boltons never talk to anyone else, otherwise his game is over. Now that he won the day for Sansa, he will ask her to marry him by the Godswood while she plays coy.  Without her loyalty, Petyr's days are numbered as news of his double crosses catch up to him when Sansa or Jon finds out.  Petyr had a hand in their father's arrest. Sandor the "Hound" can attest to that. Royce can divulge that the Bolton's attacked Petyr and kidnapped Sansa, to which she will know he is lying to everyone.  Then she can change her testimony about how Lady Lysa died when Petyr pushed her aunt out the Moon Door in cold blood and not in a struggle to save her life. Baelish was offered the Warden of the North by Cersei after mopping up Stannis and / or the Boltons for their betrayal of harboring Sansa. Somehow off screen the Vale forces went around Moat Cailin or defeated them.

Petyr S7E1 prediction: Ever playing both sides, Petyr does not want to be seen by the Iron Throne to be siding with the Starks and a Wildling alliance, but defeating the recalcitrant Boltons (for harboring Sansa, an enemy to the throne for aiding in Joffrey's death) to weaken them on the southern front. His best play would be to let Sansa and Jon lose to Bolton, and be put to death (along with Rickon), and then use the Knights of the Vale to destroy Ramsay's remnant forces in retaliation by the Crown's decree of protecting a prisoner.  This would have tied up any loose ends that could leak and undermine his plots, while keeping Royce, Robin and the Crown in his good graces. With both the Boltons and Starks bloodlines ended, Petyr can given title to Warden of the North for his victory by the Crown. He will then have 3 of the 5 Warden titles, with Mace Tyrell holding the South and Devan Lannister (Kevan and Tywin's other brother) holding the West. However, it appears that Petyr wants to marry Sansa at the end of the battle, so all the conspiracies that Baelish concocted will bite him in the rear and he will either be killed, captured or run into exile to avoid punishment. Sansa most likely will turn against him and expose all his devious plans. Petyr should have maneuvered Sansa into marrying Lord Robert Arryn. Or he can make her Lady of the Eyrie while he rebuilds Harrenhal. Once Harrenhal is defensible, and the Twins are up for grabs since Walder Frey and his immediate heirs are dead, he could make a play to gain the Twins in trade for giving Cersei the head of Sansa Stark. Petyr might use Sansa as a trojan horse

The Vale

Lord Robin Arryn - No show for E10.

Lord Yohan Royce - Royce was the vocal opponent to allowing the Wildlings to have a part in the future of the North.

Riverrun

Lord Walder Frey - Very good showing for Walder by attempting to mock Jaime. Then he sits down to lunch waiting for Lothar and Black Walder to show up to only be told by the Arya disguised maiden that they are already here in the pie. Revenge for the Red Wedding is served up nice and hot with a quick slice.

Black Walder Rivers & Lothar Frey: The brothers host a party for the Lannister forces at the Twins and become feed their father.

Jaime Lannister - Jaime verbally spars with Walder at the victory feast. No news of Walda's death is mentioned. Nor any news of the battle against Ramsay or Roose's death. Riding hard for home, he spots the smoldering ruins of the Sept of Baelor. He arrived just in time to watch his sister Cersei be coronated by Qyburn as the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.

Jaime S7E1 prediction:  After the victory, Jaime will march to the Twins and dine with Walder Frey. Does a raven from Ramsay bring news to Walder that Roose and Walda are dead from poison by Sansa, or a spy of Stannis? Does he get into an argument with Walder about reinstating Edmune "Frey" as Lord of Riverrun, plus sickened at the sight of this Walder's behavior and depravity he decides to "pull a Castamere" on the Freys? That would prevent Arya (and Sandor) from revisiting the Twins and laying Walder down to his final sleep. However, since Edmune would be the last and only survivor of the Frey bloodline, he would inherit the Twins as well as Riverrun. Or the Freys might ask for vengeance against Bolton and since Jaime lost his hand to a Bolton man, he might repay his debts and bring Ramsay down. Maybe Lord Manderly from White Harbor will serve pie to the Freys and avoid the legalities of Guest Rights...

Bronn S6E10 prediction: He will keep reminding Jaime he was promised a castle and a nice looking bride. Maybe Jaime will give him two castles...

Arya - She makes her return to Westeros to put the smack down on her mother's murderers. She may not know that Black Walder was the hand that smote Catelyn, but her revenge is complete with Lothar served up as pipping hot pie to old Walder and slitting his throat just as her mother met her final fate.

Arya S7E1 prediction: She will one day compare scars with Jon when she gets home. Do we foresee a reunion with Arya and Sandor and his traveling brothers? Will she run into Melisandre as the witch  predicted? 

Brienne / Podrick - No show for E10.

Brienne S7E1 prediction: She might float to some Quiet Isle and find a Hound traveling with a band of Brothers. Also, she is stuck in the twilight zone of boat riders of Gendry.

Podrick S7E1 prediction: Still learn how to be a wilderness squire and tag along.

The Fingers

Sandor Clegane - No show for E10.

Sandor Clegane S7E10 prediction:   Sandor is in the area east of Riverrun, south of the Twins and near Harrenhal. If Brienne and Podrick are taking a boat down the Trident, they might bump into him. It might be a cold reception at first, but the two of them might bury the axe and actually talk. His past with Sansa and Arya might come up and Brienne will try not to make her mission a total failure. It's doubtful that Samwell will run into Sandor and loan him Heartsbane (would be sweet to see him wielding that Claymore and cap off the Mountain since he oogled Brienne's Valyarian sword) and pledge himself to go north to help Jon. Either way, Sandor will be highly sought after and very hard to keep hidden due to his height, strength and scarred face. However, the prediction that Sandor will go to King's Landing to act as the champion of the Faith Militant is nixxed as the King put an end to such Trial by Combat practices. Plus the Sept is now a toasted marshmellow. He was known to be a Lannister man and a deserter from Joffrey's Kingsguard and still has a price on his head so going to the King's Landing would be suicide. No pardon from the Seven will be coming for Sandor, but he doesn't need it. Sandor also might have dirt on Littlefinger in his dealings with Ned Stark. Will Sansa fall for Sandor or maybe he will offer some information and then be asked to chop Petyr from breast to navel to put him to ground for good?

Iron Islands

Euron Greyjoy - No show in E10.

Euron S7E1 prediction: It would take approximately 4 years to build a fleet of 1000 ships and then a month to saild in treacherous seas to reach Meereen from the north west coast of Westeros, south around the Reach and Dorne, the Summer Sea and the Narrow Sea, etc. etc.  But maybe Euron has borrowed Littelfinger's worm hole teleporter which can fit a ship at a time for each of a 1000 to slip through, or so large it can encompass the entire fleet.  Also, he will have to contend with a civil war from Yara.  If Yara starts a civil war, it looks doubtful Euron is going to be able to keep the few ships he has left, much less be able to launch a new fleet. He will be land locked and unable to sail to Essos. But, Balon's brood did not make haste to Meereen to outfox the fox, so what is in store for him now? Will he have a dragon controlling horn and meet Dany's fleet in the open east of the Crownlands and try to seek counsel. Maybe he will blow the horn and take over the 3 dragons and then ask Dany to kneel to him only to cause a major upset battle to whittle down her navy and decimate his instead of both coming together. If anything, Dany should allow Euron to take his fleet and blockade Lannisport. The Tyrell fleet should also be blockading Lannisport along with backup from Dorne. Why haven't we heard Dany's plan on taking down Lannisport when Daario asks Dany to let him do just this!

King's Landing

Tommen Baratheon - Took a final swan dive after being denied going to the Sept for the Trial of  his mother and Loras. Once the Sept was destroyed, Gregor left him and a page told him of the death toll and offered his condolences. Tommen had to know his mother was still alive. He also figured his best buddy BFF High Sparrow was dead, as was his Lady Pounce who he had not gotten a sniff off in months. I guess at his tender age he couldn't bear all this death on his watch as king, so he might as well snuff himself. When people do snuff themselves, they do it will a lot of hesitation and doubt. Being as young as he was, it is ludicrous that he could off himself so easily. Was he that afraid of facing his mother and allowing her to boss him around with no Pycelle, no Kevan, no Mace, no Spirit Buddy, and no Wife? After all Cersei did to protect him, how could she be so careless to just not have him watched from doing something stupid. He should have been under constant guard. ESPECIALLY AFTER HIS CABINET WAS JUST MURDERED BY SOME TERRORIST GROUP! Gee, just let the King be all alone without any KINGSGUARD or two 7 x 24! Just unrealistic behavior and response.

Kevan Lannister - His last showing in the Sept.

Cersei Baratheon/Lannister - Totally the lady in black and the boss is back.

Ser Robert Strong / Gregor Clegane - He was sent to guard Tommen from going to the Sept to attend the trial. Then after the Sept explodes, he gets a new play thing from Cersei - the Septa Unella! And a promotion to the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. Good day for him!

Maester Pycelle - Pycelle was duped by .

High Sparrow - Led the trial as the emcee only to be engulfed in wildfire.

Lancel Lannister - As the main witness for the prosecution against Cersei, he offers to go get her since her pallet hasn't left the Red Keep. He splits off alone from his group and follows a little bird under the Sept and gets stabbed. We all know in horror movies, you NEVER SPLIT UP! And to add insult to injury, he gets to crawl and attempt to stop a candle from lighting up the largest cache of wildfire kegs only to fail and be at ground zero. He also leaves the Sept with only 2 other sparrows and WITHOUT WEAPONS. The last time the Faith Militant demanded the Queen Dowager to appear before the High Sparrow they took SEVEN ARMED SPARROWS and they FAILED. What are they thinking now that just THREE UNARMED sparrows will be able to accomplish with Ser Gregor? Just plain stupid writing and poorly executed. They should have sent a Contingent of Sparrows with Maces and a writ from the King because the Faith and the Throne are One and the laws apply to all. Messy, sloppy and incongruous story telling.

Olenna Tyrell - Meeting in Dorne with Ellaria Sand. She is Queen #4.

Mace Tyrell - Has his last showing in the Sept.  He was visibly shaken that Loras admitted to buggery and other crimes.

Queen Margaery Baratheon (Tyrell) - She is no longer the pretty queen to usurp the throne from Cersei as the witch predicted  since she is dead from the terror in the crypts of the Sept. Funny how she now has spider tingle sense to know when there's imminent danger. We don't know what Margaery could have know about a bomb in the basement. Anyway, that script was completely out of place. She should have demanded to leave since Cersei couldn't bother to show up and have an adjornment until such time later that Cersei was forced to show.

Loras Tyrell - Admitted guilt to all the crimes accused of and took it like a man. He renounced his title and was told he would be spared as Margaery made a back-room deal with the High Sparrow. However, the Sparrow has him scarified anyway and he joins the Faith Militant. Then he suffers with everyone else in the Sept as it goes up in green.

Qyburn - Qyburn gets two promotions today. First he duped Pycelle to his doom to be slaughtered like a pig by little children and becomes the new Grand Maester. Then, after Kevan's death, he gets the promotion to Hand of the King. This mirrors what the mad King Aerys did with his Maester.

Cersei S7E1 prediction: Queen #2. With the trial happening, her original goal of taking down House Tyrell worked by implicating Loras. Cersei has failed to train Tommen to betray the HS. The rumors that the Sept of Baelor was packed below with wildfire is true even though Tyrion should have known about it and had used it for the Battle of Blackwater Bay with Stannis' fleet.

If Cersei wins the trial, the High Sparrow might leak that Olenna Tyrell murdered Joffrey instead of blaming Tyrion. The HS might want to put the nail in the coffin to ensure the two families break their allegiance. Another vector of attack for the HS is finally revealing incontrovertible proof that Joffrey and Tommen are products of incest between her and Jaime, fanning the flames again of rumors and bits of facts left by Jon Arryn and Ned Stark, and possibly someone overhearing Jaime yelling in Cersei's chambers. Lancel's might confess and betray Cersei and Jaime for a second attempt at a trial. If Cersei wins her first trial, and the news that the HS is arresting her again for incest, while removing Tommen from the throne, she might go Mad King and try to blow up the Sept of Baelor with wildfire as seen in Bran's vision and burn them all. The whole "burn them all" was the victory strategy that the 3 Eyed Raven was whispering to Aerys II Targaryen to defeat white walkers and army of the dead, but that is not important now. Writing to Jaime about needing him to protect her from the incest accusations, (with Jaime finding out that Cersei cheated with Lancel and so rebukes her with silence), Cersei will eventually give up waiting for a rescue from her brother when the HS noose comes for her when her trial is ended and she is sentenced.
 At that point, Cersei will send a letter to be read to the High Sparrow, and the six other judges, while Tommen, Margaery, Loras and the Faith are in attendance. The reader will announce that Cersei proclaims Joffrey and Tommen children of incest with he brother Ser Jaime. Cersei declared to Tywin that she would tell the world before he died by Tyrion's hand. With a signal from the tolling of a bell to declare Cersei's sentencing complete, the Sept will explode with wildfire. As most of the people are trapped within the Sept, Tommen decides to leap out of a window to his death below. Lancel will escape with bad burns and tell Kevan what happened. Kevan will sneak attack Frankenmountain and Lancel will kill Cersei. Father and son will then rule the galaxy and outlaw Jaime. Jaime stripped of honor and title will join up with the Starks and Brienne.

Sister - Brother rivalry: Jaime

Cersei's prophecies:
Each of her children she will watch die before her
She will be killed by Volanqar (younger sibling) -
  Arya has her on the hit list, and Nymeria killed Myrcella so why not go for the mother
  Sandor could be alive since we did not actually see him stop breathing, and the Faith saved him
  Dany might, but she might be too late to the party to help
  Tommen does not appear to be the type to be a kinslayer
  Loras is in no shape
  Brienne has no reason

High Sparrow S7E1 prediction: Be one with the ashes of his Sept.

Queen Margaery S7E1 prediction: Stay ashes in the Sept. She lost the title of Queen #2.

Lady Olenna S7E1 prediction: The Queen of Thrones will fade to the background and retreat to safety. She is not really much of a queen at this point since who knows who she is going to bequeath Highgarden to. She is a minor Queen #4 like Yara.

Kevan S6E10 prediction: I forsee Cersei getting revenge on him and putting him to ground. If not, the Sparrow will use him to round up the rest of his family, arresting Cersei and Jaime for incest, and Tyrion of kinslaying.

Pycelle S6E10 prediction: Having hidden his spry nature in the guise of an elderly bent man, Cersei has no more use for Pycelle, but Tommen will not forgo having a Grand Maester as counselor.

Sister - Brother rivalry: Sister winning

Frankenmountain S6E10 prediction: He will possibly attack Kevan or defend Cersei from arrest by the Faith Militant and go down swinging from an assassin from behind (possible season trailer hint).

Tommen S6E10 prediction: This boy appears totally whipped by Margaery's charms and the Sparrow's compelling words. I doubt he has it in him to stab the Sparrow in the back and instead will give the Sparrow everything he wants. With Margaery's support from the people, the dismantling of the nobility's special treatment will be whittled away. He can whine all he wants about not bedding Margaery, but he cannot even seduce her on his own as he has no charisma. (See Cersei's prediction)

Mace S6E10 prediction: Take Olenna home to Highgarden.

Loras S6E10 prediction: Loras is ready to face his trial of the Seven.

Qyburn S6E10 prediction: Protect Cersei when she gets arrested by the Faith Militant and set off the wildfire laser show under the Sept. He also might kill off Pycelle for several reasons; 1) Pycelle is loyal to Cersei (as shown by Tyrion's gambit of marrying off Myrcella), 2) revenge for almost being killed by Gregor Clegane's men (allied to Lannister) in Harrenhal, who then travels with Jaime Lannister and saves him from gangrene due to his severed hand, 3) revenge for the maester's outing him from the order and Pycelle's constant badgering that Qyburn is unconventional and a heretic. Funny who Qyburn experimented on Gregor and causing his change to do (his? and) Cersei's bidding when Qyburn has a huge grudge against Gregor and thereby all Lannisters. He is playing the long con, letting Cersei and Jaime believe he is a friend, when secretly his is plotting for an opportunity to put them in the ground.

Dorne

Ellaria -

Sand Snakes -
Obara, Nymeria, etc.

Ellaria S6E10 prediction: Ellaria is Queen #3. Have a war council and move on the Stormland to prepare a land attack against King's Landing, and send word to Daenerys Targaryen for her return once the area is secured. Or Varys will arrive to seek an alliance with Dorne to coordinate an attack with Dany.

Sand Snakes S7E1 prediction: Kill off the Queen of Thrones for making them shut up.

Essos

Jorah - No show for E10.

Jorah S7E1 prediction: Seek out someone in Lys or some R'hollr priestess in Volantis for a cure, or hear about how Seline was healed.


Meereen

Daenerys Targaryen - She looked peeved at the state of Meereen was in by leaving Tyrion in charge. A small blast hit the council chamber window but no one got hurt. Somehow they ran to parley with three Masters in a safe area outside of town by running from the safe pyramid.  Dany seemed to be following Tyrion's approval nod in making final decisions. Then she finally calls in the Dragons and all three of them flight and destroy one or two ships, and somehow they make the rest of the fleet surrender.  It seems even though Tyrion freed Vis and Rhaegal, they were too big to sneak out at night.  The dothraki riders led by Daario finally arrived but it looked like they would have been easy pickings for the flaming ballistas. Dany has no idea Varys is working for her and never saw the Spider or talked with him. She knows the Spymaster had arranged her assassination and was using Jorah for the Iron Throne. Will she accept Varys' gambit in Dorne?

Daenerys S6E10 prediction: Queen #1. She is now fully committed to ruling Meereen, Astapor and Yunkai. But she has to move her armies before they get bored sitting around doing nothing and wasting money and food by not moving to Westeros.

Dany's prophecies:
Light three fires - one for life, death, and love
Ride three mounts - one to bed, one to dread, one to love
Three treasons - once for blood, once for gold, once for love

Daario - Daario was let off the hook of being the Queen's paramour and forced to stay in Meereen and play babysitter as Captain of the Guard.

Daario S7E1 prediction: He might betray her as one of the instigators of the Sons of the Harpy, or even as a spy who let the Masters know Dany was out of town. He leads the Second Sons (not the Stormcrows) on the show, so the naming might be too coincidental. Perhaps he will led the Dothraki against the Master's army on the beach head and drive them back.

Theon Greyjoy - A late arrival after the 2nd siege of Meereen was ended. He defers to his sister when dealing with Dany. As predicted, Tyrion was very leery of the Greyjoys and their past treacheries.

Yara Greyjoy - Yara does most of the talking for the Ironborn. She did not claim her fleet captured any of the Master's ships. She strikes a bargain with the Queen Mother of Dragons but she has to give up piracy in Westeros. Maybe she can raid Essos or what is west of Westeros? She puts her 100 ships under Dany's command in order to make sure Euron is deposed from the Salt Throne.

Theon / Yara S6E10 prediction: Queen #5. Euron will be late to the party and Dany will have put him down and take his fleet.

Sister - Brother rivalry: Yara ahead, but only by sausage.

Tyrion - Tyrion is fully the Hand of the Queen and doing a smash up job. He corners the Greyjoys but allows them to swear loyalty to Dany in return for being independent from all other rulers as a free city-state. He was cool as a cucumber in dealing with the Masters. He has giving up using prostitutes and that will serve him well to garner more respect from people around him.

Tyrion S6E10 prediction: Advise Dany and deal with the logistics of shipping the army off to Westeros and finding a launching point for D-Day.

Tyrion parentage theory: It is rumored that the late King Aerys II Targaryen bedded Tywin's wife Joanna Lannister after the 10th anniversary Tournament. Since all of the Queen's births were miscarraiges or stillborns, with the last being premature, it is plausible that Aerys' tainted seed could have caused Joanna's death in childbirth to a disfigured boy, even though sister-Queen Rhaella survived many birthings. Aerys taunted Joanna at the tourney, and in the past desired her to be his wife as he mocked Tywin that it is no longer the host's right to take the bride first before her husband has a chance to bed. Tywin had alluded that Tyrion might not be his child by blood, but he upheld that he was a Lannister.  This would tie in with RT+LS=J, and Daenerys, and Tyrion to be the three dragon-riders and all related in the same Targaryen bloodline.

Varys - No show for E9.

Varys S6E10 prediction: Sneak off with a rebuilt ship to Dorne and plot to ally with Ellaria Sand since Doran is dead. Or maybe he fails. Can he convince Ellaria to put a Targaryen back on the throne? With no males in the family, they can't offer a marriage to bind the alliance.

Grey Worm - Finally showing his knife skills by slicing two Masters and leaving the low born Master to live.

Missandei - She hung out in the background hoping to survive another day.

Season 7 Episode 2 - Stormborn - Post Game Wrap Up

Westeros

The North


Umber / Karstark alliance - Both sons of Umber and Karstark were sworn to fealty to Jon Snow, King of the North, much to the chagrin of Sansa.

Umber S7E3 prediction: Stay allied for the Winter and Undead to come.

Bran - No show for E2.

Bran S7E3 prediction: Will Bran's travel through the gate allow the Others to pass since the magic of the Children has been negated? Was Bran marked by the Night King and that will break the magic so he becomes Bran the Breaker or Destroyer? Bran's mission is to tell Jon his father is Rhaegar? But we still don't know if Lyanna's marriage was performed by a septon and thereby legitimate. Will Bran finally get to Winterfell by Tara sled and tell Sansa that Jaime and Cersei were doing the dirty deed up in the tower, while Jon is Lyanna's son and not Ned's?

Jon - Jon has a dilemma to settle with a call from Danerys possibly being a trap, but the castle sits on a pile of dragon glass according to Sam, which can turn the tide of the war against the Others. Of course Jon has to walk into the Dragon's Den. And he has to take steadfast Davos. But before he goes, he backs up Baelish to give up on marrying his sister. Oh, if Jon only knew! Too bad Snow is in Littlefinger's debt for saving his bacon and Winterfell from the Boltons. And someone has to reign in his departure, so Sansa is "tag - you're it".

Jon S7E3 prediction: Jon has to get to Dragonstone in one piece and convince Daenerys that defeating the Others is the more important battle now than the one for the Crown.  Will Jon bend the knee to Dany and pledge his loyalty to her in return for her commitment to mine the Dragon Glass under Storm's End and make thousands of obsidan weapons and fly them by Dragon courier to destroy the Night's King?

Jon's prophecy: Azor Ahai; the prince that was promised
Lightbringer: The sword that is created by Azor Ahai by plunging the blade through his beloved's heart, fusing her soul (Nissa Nissa) within the object

Sansa - Again she advises against Jon's better instinct in making a decision, but is rewarded as Stewardess of Winterfell. Now she needs to keep Petyr the wolf at bay.

Sansa S7E3 prediction: Will Sansa be Queen #6? Will Sansa be planning marry Sweetrobin and tell him how his mother Lysa actually died by Petyr pushing her through the Moon Door, giving Lord Baelish his due reward? Will Sansa decide to marry Jon to legitimize and solidify the Stark's hold on the north when the truth comes out that they are not step-siblings? Will she just remain single and defiled and become the Wardeness of the North in name by a tribune of the northern lords in defiance of the Crown? Will she try to seek justice finally against Petyr Baelish and have him executed with the help of Lord Yohan Royce over how she was sold off to the Boltons?

Sister - Brother rivalry: Sansa ahead

Davos - On the sidelines as always, there's little diplomacy he can do when Lady Bear Mormont is still around. But he gets the most obvious line of the episode award: "White Walkers can be killed with fire. What breathes fire?"

Davos S7E3 prediction: We still don't know if he has been appointed Jon's Hand of the King, but he's going on an expedition to Storm's End.

Petyr Baelish - Lord Baelish needs to whittle down his opponents.  Sansa and Jon are completely against him even though they owe him their lives. He surely is still attempting to play double agent for The Crown, feeding Cersei what is happening in the North. If Sansa ever talks to loyalists, she will reveal Petyr advised and aided her leaving King's Landing and then proposed for her marriage to Ramsay to unify the Warden of the North bloodlines. Why hasn't Sansa runs told Royce that Bolton men did not capture her from Baelish. Why hasn't she told Royce that Petyr threw Lysa out the Moon Door in cold blood, changing her testimony. If Royce ever talks to loyalists, then he will tell them Baelish smuggled Sansa out from King's Landing and then Bolton men captured her. Royce would not take kindly to Petyr's insinuations that he betrayed Sansa Stark to Bolton. In any of these scenarios, Petyr's goose is cooked and he has no way to squirm out of the web of deceit that he spun for all the players he's been playing. He has to ensure that Sansa or Jon or Royce never talk to anyone on the opposing side, otherwise his game is over. Petyr's days are numbered as his double crosses are going to catch up to him when Sansa, Jon or Cersei finds out.  Petyr had a hand in their father's arrest. Sandor the "Hound" can attest to that. Royce can divulge that the Bolton's attacked Petyr and kidnapped Sansa, to which she will know he is lying to everyone.  Then she can change her testimony about how Lady Lysa died when Petyr pushed her aunt out the Moon Door in cold blood and not in a struggle to save her life. Baelish was offered the Warden of the North by Cersei after mopping up Stannis and the Boltons for their betrayal of harboring Sansa. Now Petyr has to mop up the Starks.

Petyr S7E3 prediction: Ever playing both sides, Petyr does not want to be seen by the Iron Throne to be siding with the Starks and a Wildling alliance, but defeating the recalcitrant Boltons (for harboring Sansa, an enemy to the throne for aiding in Joffrey's death) to weaken them on the southern front. His best play would have been to have Sansa and Jon die by Bolton's hand, and then turn on Ramsey's forces with his Knights of the Vale by claiming the Crown's decree of protecting Sansa and disloyalty.  This would have tied up any loose ends that could leak and undermine his plots, while keeping Royce, Robin and the Crown in his good graces. With both the Boltons and Starks bloodlines ended, Petyr could have taken the title of Warden of the North for his double victory. He would then have 3 of the 5 Warden titles, with Mace Tyrell holding the South and Devan Lannister (Kevan and Tywin's other brother) holding the West. However, it appears that Petyr still wants to figure out how to get Sansa to marry him since he claims he loved Catelyn and now Sansa. Sansa most likely will turn against him and expose all his devious plans. Petyr should have maneuvered Sansa into marrying Lord Robert Arryn and making her Lady of the Eyrie and then he can rebuild Harrenhal after the wars. Once Harrenhal is defensible, and the Twins are now up for grabs since Walder Frey and his immediate heirs are dead, he could make a play to gain the Twins by trading Sansa's head to the Crown.

Lord Yohan Royce - Royce still ever the vocal opponent, forbids Jon to walk into a trap set by Tyrion Lannister and Danerys Targaryen. No one in power ever listens to the voice of reason, Yohan; Sit down.

The Vale

Lord Robin Arryn - No show for E2.

Riverrun

Lord Frey - A house in disarray.  Who's in charge? Is Edmure Tully still a prisoner or does Arya free him?  Do the Lords of Riverrun take over the Twins?

Arya - She doesn't run into Melisandre or Jon, but good ol' Hot Pies. He watches her devour a meal and mead and tells her brother Jon is King of the North.  Her plans for killing Cersei is put on hold and turns around to head north for home. On her way in the winter woods, she is assailed by a group of wolves led by her once cub Nymeria.  Respectful of her old master, the wolf let's her go unmolested, and as a wild being is not beholding to any master anymore.

Arya S7E3 prediction: She will one day compare scars with Jon when she gets home. Will Arya miss Jon when she gets there because he went south? Do we foresee a reunion with Arya and Sandor and his traveling brothers? Will she run into Melisandre as the witch  predicted? 

Brienne / Podrick - No show in E2.

Brienne S7E3 prediction: She might float to some Quiet Isle and find a Hound traveling with a band of Brothers. Also, she is stuck in the twilight zone of boat riders of Gendry.

Podrick S7E3 prediction: Still learn how to be a wilderness squire and tag along.

The Fingers

Sandor Clegane - No show for E2.

Sandor Clegane S7E3 prediction: Will his merry band of believers run into Sansa and Baelish in Winterfell and spill the dirt on Littlefinger in his dealings with Ned Stark's arrest? Will Sansa fall for Sandor or maybe he will offer some information and then be asked to chop Petyr from breast to navel to put him to ground for good before fighting the Others?

Iron Islands

Euron Greyjoy - Amazingly, Euron and his sailors find Yara's flagship in the midst of a foggy night, rams his ship head first into her broadsides and manages to end the Greyjoy rebellion. He gleefully goads Theon to save his sister, and watches his nephew run away.

Euron S7E3 prediction: With the destruction of the competing Ironborn fleet, Dorne is next, and King's Landing is safe from a naval embargo. He will deliver Yara, Ellaria and Tyene to Cersei and demand  tribute with her hand in marriage.  Not a bad haul of booty taken, eh?  Will Yara and Ellaria receive the Queen's Justice?  Does Euron have the dragon quell horn?

King's Landing

Jaime Lannister - Jaime pulled Randyll Tarly aside but was rebuffed about turning on his own countrymen, but he gets to be the head general for selling his soul. He made verbal play over Rickon (Eddard's son) and Dickon (Randyll's son) before he slips in the sales pitch to lighten the mood, but Randyll has to know he is being played in the short term, and won't live long enough to enjoy being Warden of the South after chopping his lord liege Olenna Tyrell's head off.

Jaime S7E3 prediction:  Eventually, news of Frey's demise will reach the Queen and Jaime will be forced to march to the Twins to enforce marshal law and take command of the Frey army to keep that fiefdom loyal.  Or he could march on Dragonstone once news of team Dany landing and take them before they reinforce the castle.  Or he can march with Tarly and demand the capture of Highgarden and Olenna's head on a pike. Or he can just stay put with his incestuous sister and wait to be surrounded and besieged at the capitol. Maybe Jaime must learn that he needs to stop sleeping with his sister and let Euron take his place for the optics?

Cersei Baratheon/Lannister - Cersei put fear of the foreign enemy into the hearts of her loyal lords. The outsiders are barbarians and would destroy the realm as they know it. She even spread some nasty rumors about Daenerys' brutal slaughter of all the high lords of the cities of Essos so that  if they turn traitor, the Breaker of Chains will no doubt kill them just as mercilessly so best to side with the Iron Throne.

Cersei S7E3 prediction: With all her children dead, and no pretenders to the Iron Throne, she just has to deal with open rebellion.She has replaced her Lord Commander and Master of Arms (Jaime?), but needs a Master of Coin, Laws and Ships on the small council. She only has Tyrion to deal with as the spoiler of news that the three children were conceived out of wedlock with Jaime and not Robert Baratheon. Little does she know Jaime spilled the beans to Edmure Tully. Then there is the matter of revenge of the death of her daughter Myrcella by the hands of Ellaria who is being brought by Euron as his prisoner.  Will Cersei kill Tyene herself in front of Ellaria? The Iron Throne has struck first blood. Will Cersei return a gift such as Yara back to Euron so he can drop mutilated body parts on the door steps of Dragonstone? That will be Queen's Justice served cold.

Sister - Brother rivalry: Cersei

Cersei's prophecies:
Each of her children she will watch die before her
She will be killed by Volanqar (younger sibling) -
  Arya has her on the hit list, and Nymeria killed Myrcella so why not go for the mother
  Sandor could be alive since we did not actually see him stop breathing, and the Faith saved him
  Dany might, but she might be too late to the party to help
  Tommen does not appear to be the type to be a kinslayer
  Loras is in no shape
  Brienne has no reason

Qyburn - The Master of Whisperers brings Cersei to the Red Keep's catacombs to showcase the latest invention built by the weaponsmiths of the Crown called a ballista and has her fire the bolt into the skull of the largest known dragon ever.  Of course, the dragon is prone, close range, and has no scales.  If this ballista is not mounted on a swivel, Drogon is going to side swipe the turret points and neutralize them rather easily on the parapets of the walls. Maybe, just maybe, loyalists might heavily wound one dragon before Dany realizes to take the threat out and fast.

Ser Robert Strong / Gregor Clegane - No show for E2.

Qyburn S7E3 prediction: Qyburn has a score to settle with revenge for almost being killed by Gregor Clegane's men (allied to Lannister) in Harrenhal, who then travels with Jaime Lannister and saves him from gangrene due to his severed hand. Funny that Qyburn experimented on Gregor and changed him into a unquestioning servant of Cersei. Qyburn has a huge grudge against Gregor and thereby all Lannisters so does he have a hidden safe-word to turn the Mountain on anyone at anytime of his choosing? Is he playing the long con, letting Cersei and Jaime believe he is a friend, when opportunity shows itself, he will turn-cast and put them in the ground? Until then, what does he have in store for the invaders? More wildfyre?

Frankenmountain S7E3 prediction: Glower more.

Bronn S7E3 prediction: He will keep reminding Jaime he was promised a castle and a nice looking bride. Maybe Jaime will give him two castles... the Twins and Dragonstone - if he can win the battles to conquer them.  Or maybe Bronn will watch a bad Tyene die and sympathize with Dorne.  A real shame, that.

Dorne

Ellaria - Captured as part of Euron's major naval victory.

Sand Snakes - Finally cut down by Euron and his men to end all our suffering of watching them badly acted out, except for Tyene who was taken prisoner along with her mother.
(Obara, Nymeria, and Tyene)

Ellaria S7E3 prediction: Ellaria is Queen #3. Now the Martell line is completely ended. She will be kept hostage by Cersei, but her countrymen will still take arms against the Iron Throne due to the long standing feuding with House Lannister. Or will Doran's former concubine come out of exile and reclaim Dorne for herself? Will she hear Cersei give the order for the execution of her daughter Tyene and for it to be carried out by the Mountain in front of her eyes by savagely squeeze her brains to mush like he did to Oberyn?

Sand Snakes S7E3 prediction: Swim forever with the fishes.

The Reach: Storm's End

Daenerys Targaryen - The Dragon Queen decides to use the velvet glove to win over the hearts of her former countrymen in a civil war. Tyrion advises her to call on Jon Snow for an alliance since he is a good man. Ellaria and Olenna scoff at her idealism. She finally has her showdown with Varys the Spider and calls him out, but he tells his loyalty is not blind, so make sure you earn it or else her head will be forfeit. She lets the spymaster live and a part of her council for his boldness and telling the brutal truth of his own involvement.

Daenerys S7E3 prediction: She needs to move her armies into action before the Dothraki get bored and abandon the cause and allow Cersei to mobilize resistance. She is going to finally meet the know-nothing Jon Snow. Will she exact a Queen's Justice on anyone?

Dany's prophecies:
Light three fires - one for life, death, and love
Ride three mounts - one to bed, one to dread, one to love
Three treasons - once for blood, once for gold, once for love

Olenna Tyrell - Meeting in Storm's End with Daenerys and Ellaria Sand. She is Queen #4. She scoffs at Dany's naivete and tells her to be the Dragon and stop taking orders from men.

Lady Olenna S7E3 prediction: The Queen of Thrones will fade to the background and retreat to safety. She is not really much of a queen at this point since who knows who she is going to bequeath Highgarden to. She is minor Queen #4.

Melisandre - The priestess of Light bypasses Arya on her way south and winds up in chambers with Dany and gives more prophecies.  She doesn't tell all, and let's Jon Snow have a chance at telling his tale of the Others. She prepares Dany to believe what this man has to say.

Theon Greyjoy - Theon is battle weary and gives up by bailing on saving his sister from their Uncle Euron.  That's Yara's payback for when she attempted to rescue him from the Bolton's gulag.

Yara Greyjoy - While getting cozy with Ellaria Sand, the bells go wild and she finds out Uncle Euron somehow found her ship in the cover of fog and night and assaults her. After a struggle, Yara is taken captive by Euron, which was his planned gift to Cersei.

Theon S7E3 prediction: He somehow will  make it back to shore without being taken prisoner by all the enemy ships swirling around. Would the victors just ignore all the salvage and overboard sailors and let them drown or would they double-check and finish them off? Maybe Gendry rows in and takes him to dry off at Storm's End.

Yara S7E3 prediction: Sadly, she will be brought as a prisoner to King's Landing as a down payment for Euron's dowry to marry Queen Cersei.

Sister - Brother rivalry: Theon ahead, but only because he is free to swim.

Tyrion - Tyrion's grand military plan goes up in smoke and ashes as the Yara's Iron Fleet goes belly up in the Narrow Sea before they get to Dorne to launch an invasion on King's Landing. Hope he has a Plan B.

Tyrion S7E3 prediction: Advise Dany and deal with the logistics of blockading King's Landing and then invading Casterly Rock by navy transporting the Unsullied, and using Dornish and Tyrell's armies to launch D-Day against Cersei with the Dothraki trampling the Reach by raiding and pillaging farms loyal to the throne. Will Jon and Tyrion reunite and talk abit? Will Tyrion ask about how Sansa is doing, and let him know that Littlefinger sold Sansa to Ramsey Bolton who then defiled her? But which ally of Cersei's will the dwarf back-channel with?  Will he reach out to his own brother? Will he reach out to Devan Lannister to convince him to turncoat against the Crown? What does he have up his short sleeve? Is he smitten with Dany? Will he cower in fear when truly faced against Jamie and Cersei and flip sides hoping they won't kill him for murdering their father? Tyrion would be a fool to beg for mercy from Cersei as he already once slipped from the hangman's noose with Jaime's aid.  Maybe he is trying to get word to Jaime to leave Cersei's side and save himself a world of pain.

Tyrion parentage theory: It is rumored that the late King Aerys II Targaryen bedded Tywin's wife Joanna Lannister after the 10th anniversary Tournament. Since all of the Queen's births were miscarraiges or stillborns, with the last being premature, it is plausible that Aerys' tainted seed could have caused Joanna's death in childbirth to a disfigured boy, even though sister-Queen Rhaella survived many birthings. Aerys taunted Joanna at the tourney, and in the past desired her to be his wife as he mocked Tywin that it is no longer the host's right to take the bride first before her husband has a chance to bed. Tywin had alluded that Tyrion might not be his child by blood, but he upheld that he was a Lannister.  This would tie in with RT+LS=J, and Daenerys, and Tyrion to be the three dragon-riders and all related in the same Targaryen bloodline.

Varys - Varys is challenged by Dany and passes the test and keeps his head. He did not slink off to Dorne after all.

Varys S7E3 prediction: He needs to re-establish his control over the little birds from Qyburn.

Grey Worm - Protecting his Queen and getting his groove on with Missandei.

Missandei - She asks Grey Worm to let it all hang out and consummate their friendship, orally.

Gery Worm S7E3 prediction: Luckily his portion of the fleet did not get waylaid by the Salty Sailors, leading his Unsullied to siege Casterly Rock.  Tyrion would have trained all the commanders of the tunnels and sewers of his ancestral home, giving them detailed maps. Will Cersei have realized this maneuver and set a trap? Will the battle bring Jaime home to roost and fight mano a mano with the Worm?

The Reach: Oldtown

Samwell & Gilly & baby Sam - Sam is challenging his mentor tactfully, and pretends to be the dutiful servant. We don't see how Sam is getting on with Gilly and the baby. Sam is following his mentor around, collecting books and suturing cadavers, and suggests a more poetic title to the histories Tarwyn wants to write about the period after King Robert Baratheon was slain.  Would the title "Game of Thrones" be more poetic, Sam?

Samwell E7E3 prediction: Lord Tarly  (or brother Dickon) will be after Sam and want to hang him for stealing the sword since it has not been legally bestowed to Sam. Sam will have to get seriously trained in swordplay if he plans on using Heartbane, and seek protection from another lord from his father's deadly wrath or his father and retainers who will be chasing Sam and Gilly down. If Sam can talk the maesters to allow Gilly to stay under protection she might not be taken hostage by the Tarly's in retaliation. Perhaps Sam wants the sword so the maesters can study on why it can destroy the Others, as well as dragonglass. Possibly the Citadel will offer protection for Sam and not allow the Tarlys to arrest him.  However, Gilly and the baby are easy targets and might be given up by spies. Can the maesters discover how to remake Valyrian steel? Will Sam make his way to Storm's End when invited by Danerys to instruct them how to make weapons and take them north to swing the tide of battle when the Others find a way past the Wall? Will Sam get caught for going against orders in attempting to cure Sir Jorah Mormont's greyscale affliction?

Jorah - So the bear knight was in Hightower, However Maester Tarwyn guesses his affliction will turn him insane in less than six months, and he has one night to contemplate suicide or being shipped off to Valyria to live out his twenty year life sentence of greyscale. Since Sam Tarly was fond of his father, Jeor, he takes it upon himself to go against the Maester's order and attempts to cure Jorah in a all night cut affair.

Jorah S7E3 prediction: Heal up and pray he is cured, but look like one ugly dude. Maybe the Maester's ship him off anyway, and kick Samwell out of the Citadel for insubordination to boot.

Essos

Meereen

Daario - No show in E2.

Daario S7E3 prediction: Sadly, he will not lead the Dothraki against the Westerosi and allows Dany to marry someone more politically motivated without distracting her or ruining her reputation among the Lords of her homeland.
