In a flashback, a witch foretells a teenage Cersei that she will one day be queen until a younger and more beautiful queen usurps her, that she will have three children, and that her king husband will have twenty. In the present, Tywin is buried, and Cersei and Jaime try to move on from his demise as Lancel Lannister returns, now a devoted convert of a fanatical religious cult called the "Sparrows". In Pentos, Varys discusses a conspiracy with a despondent Tyrion, whom he accompanies to Meereen to meet Daenerys, believing she may be worthy of the Iron Throne. Daenerys's rule faces a new threat when the insurgent "Sons of the Harpy" murder an Unsullied; she angrily resists restoring old local traditions such as the fighting pits, and her two confined dragons act aggressively toward her when she visits them.
Missandei asks Grey Worm why some Unsullied visit brothels. In the Vale, Littlefinger puts Robin in House Royce's care as he and Sansa depart. At the Wall, Jon finds himself between two kings: Stannis seeks to recruit the Wildlings for his war against Roose Bolton, offering citizenship and land as a reward, but Jon cannot persuade Mance Rayder to bend the knee. As Mance is burned alive, Jon ends his agony with an arrow to the heart.
