The Wars to Come

  S5E1  

In a flashback, a witch foretells a teenage Cersei that she will one day be a queen until someone younger and more beautiful takes everything from her. In the present, Tywin's body is buried, and Lancel returns, now a member of the "Sparrows" religious cult. In Pentos on Essos, a despondent Tyrion agrees to accompany Varys to Meereen to meet Daenerys; Varys suggests that she is worthy of the Iron Throne. In Meereen, the insurgent "Sons of the Harpy" murder an Unsullied; an angry Daenerys resists restoring old local traditions. Missandei asks Grey Worm why some Unsullied visit brothels. Daenerys visits her confined dragons, who act aggressively toward her. In the Vale, Littlefinger puts Robin in House Royce's care when he leaves with Sansa. At the Wall, Stannis seeks to recruit the Wildlings in his war against Roose Bolton. Jon is unable to convince Mance to accept Stannis's authority. When Stannis has Mance burned alive, Jon ends his suffering with an arrow to the heart.
