Game of Thrones season 8 episode 2: 13 callbacks, book references and Easter eggs you missed in ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’
From Arya's scars to the Sansa-Theon reunion

Game of Thrones has continued with yet another episode filled with reference and callbacks to seasons of old.
With just four episodes to go until the HBO show comes to an end, showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss are continuing to dish out the nostalgia.
While low on cameos this week, the episode had a few references to George RR Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire book series and still found time to dish out a moving reunion.
It also had a pair of callbacks dating right back to the show’s first season and provided fans with an update on Arya’s hit list.
