Tyrion decides to break the ice with a well-timed joke: "I'm friends with your mother. There is nothing eerier than a dragon's face slowly appearing from the dark by torchlight.

I drink and I know things."Īnd with that, Tyrion heads down to the depths of the pyramid to make friends with the dragons. We learn that dragons don't do well in captivity. The masters have retaken Astapor and Yunkai, and the dragons are not eating, prompting the following conundrum: If a dragon does not want to eat, how do you force him or her to chow down? (Have we established that they are all male?) (Seriously, can these two have their own show?) We don't learn much more about the three-eyed raven here, but all things point to more Stark flashbacks in the future.īack in Meereen, the banter continues between Tyrion and Varys. "It is beautiful beneath the sea, but if you stay too long you'll drown," he explains, channeling Dumbledore. Like a young Harry Potter facing the Mirror of Erised, Bran wants to stay and get better acquainted with his father's past, but the raven won't have it. Bran is also astounded to learn that the man who has been lugging him around the North has a name (it's Wylis). She is speaking to Hodor, WHO SPEAKS BACK. We finally get our first glimpse of Lyanna, Ned Stark's late sister. "So were you, once," the raven (in man form, here) answers. "They were all so happy," he says, watching young Ned Stark play-fight with Benjen. Instead, he's with the three-eyed raven revisiting his father's childhood in an It's a Wonderful Life-style vision. One whole Bran-less season later, we're back in that very same cave. Last time we saw the second-youngest Stark boy, he had just come face to face with the three-eyed raven.
