Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Tyrion strikes a deal. Jorah and Daario undertake a difficult task. Jaime and Cersei try to improve their situation.

Our Take

A mostly setup episode that gets by on a few strong character reunions and one genuinely satisfying negotiation scene with the slavers. The Daario and Jorah thread drags, but the Stark family stuff lands well and the ending gives the hour a real jolt of energy. Worth watching, even if half of it feels like table-setting for later.
