While the young king decides not to resort to violence, it seems that he is alone in this sentiment. Everyone practically bleeds or suffers some sort of unfortunate fate today. Cersei has armed a militant based on faith, it's a very arbitrary group as it incarcerates anyone who is seen disruptive, but the category is wide and ambiguous. The pretext works however, as the new established militant serves her goal and vexes Margeary, which in turns create a rift on the royal newlywed's relationship.
Meanwhile at North, both Stark siblings find themselves in contradicting side although they might not know the whereabouts of the other. Jon Snow is still wanted by the advancing army of Stannis, one must praise his honor as he deflects another charming offer. In a more heartwarming scene of his entire campaign, Stannis showcases his affection towards her daughter. This is probably the best performance by the father-daughter actors to date.
Remarkably, the North is the only segment which doesn't draw any blood. Jamie finally reaches the land of his captured niece, he's in full redemption mode, a tad sorrowful for this season. Chemistry between him and Bronn is witty and entertaining. Bronn is smarter than he'd like to show and Jaime requires his companionship, perhaps more for a trusty friend than a hired thug, although the swordsmanship proves to be useful either way.
The south has intriguing culture, aside for their elegant in handling spear, apparently they also have all female squad which has high tolerance to violence. The theme of militant is as thick as the blood they spill in this episode. Sons of Harpy deliver another more lethal blow and this time they do so openly. It ends on a high note as one of the more visceral action sequences wraps up the episode.
This marks one of the bloodiest showing in the series. It'd take time to dress the wound of many characters and clean the stain from many walls.
