“The Door” took on a very emotional meaning last night (early this morning) with the death of ‘Hold The Door’ Hodor and Bran’s longtime direwolf companion Summer.

The following episode, “Blood of My Blood”, looks set to pick up exactly where we left off, with Meera struggling to get the young Stark away from the oncoming White Walker heard. Who will save them this time? (*Cough* Benjen *Cough*)

Cersei, Jaime, and the High Sparrow were also notably absent from the episode but look set to play a large role in the upcoming episode.

From the looks of things, Cersei’s plan to get the Tyrells to enter King’s Landing has played off, Margaery’s house and the Faith seemingly coming into conflict over her walk of atonement.

Daenerys is back once again, leading a Dothraki army back to Mereen to claim “what is rightfully mine”. All the while things are getting awkward for Sam Tarly, whose father looks less than impressed he is helping out a Wildling.

The official plot synopsis reads: “An old foe comes back into the picture. Gilly (Hannah Murray) meets Sam’s (John Bradley) family. Arya (Maisie Williams) faces a difficult choice. Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) faces off against the High Sparrow (Jonathan Pryce).”

The title and synopsis for episode seven have also been released, teasing the return of an old fan favourite.
