Tyrion walks the grounds of the battle taking stock. Soldiers gather around at the base of the dragon and Daenerys, who addresses the men. She is not here to murder. She offers a choice. Bend the knee and join me to make the world better or refuse and die. The dragon screeches. A majority drop down. Lord Randyll Tarly steps forward. He will not trade his honor for his life.
Daenerys is not his queen. Dickon Tarly also refuses to bend the knee. Tyrion talks to Daenerys
on the side – put them in cells and they will change their mind. Don’t kill them yet. Daenerys met what she said. She commands the dragon to breathe fire on the two.
Jaime reports to Cersei in her chambers. She wants to know hoe many men are dead. Jaime is not done counting. He just saw the dragon fight.
They will not survive. Cersei wants to know what they can do. Maybe they can have Tyrion intercede. Jaime tells her that Lady Tyrell was the one who killed their son. Cersei knows what she wants to do – fight and die, not submit.
Daenerys returns home with her dragon. She lands him outside the castle in front of Jon. He is scared but carefully extends his hand to touch the dragon who always him to.

She doesn’t believe them when it comes to the dead. They decide they will bring one to see her. Jon wants to lead the charge. Davos tells him, no, but he is determined to go himself.
The people of the north are upset. They want to know where their king is and they don’t want to follow
the command of Sansa. She leaves the room with Arya, who is mad that Sansa let them speak ill of Jon. Sansa explains that she cannot just cut off their heads, she needs to get them to work with her. And if Jon
doesn’t come back, Arya asks.

She tells Jon that she has grown used to him. Samwell tries to work. He is angry he must record unnecessary information when the solution to saving themselves from the dead is probably sitting on a dusty shelf. Angry, he heads to the forbidden area of the library, taking books and loading it in his carriage with his family. He is ready to leave. He is tired of being a Maester.
