Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Viserys is increasingly frustrated by the lack of progress towards gaining his crown.
Our Take
A busy hour that juggles several plots well, with the standout being Viserys finally getting what he’s been asking for in a scene that’s hard to watch and impossible to forget. Bronn’s trial by combat is a fun, scrappy highlight too. Some of the Wall material drags by comparison, but this is a strong episode that pays off patience with the Targaryen storyline.
