Other key takeaways from The Red Woman episode are as following:
- Jon Snow is dead, at least for now. You can still wait for any magic from Melisandre, specially after today’s necklace revelation.
- The mother of dragons, Daenerys Targaryen, is now captive of Khals and her advisers also know it well.
- Sansa Stark is now out of danger, after Brienne of Tarth rescued her and Theon Grejoy when Lord Bolton’s men had surrounded them.
- Myrcella Baratheon, the daughter of Cersie Lannister and Jaime Lannister, is dead and Ellaria Sand, who had poisoned her, has also murdered the king of Dorne.
- Arya Stark is now blind and has turned into a beggar. She is still under training to become no one.
- Tyrion Lannister, who is an acting ruler after Queen Daenerys Targaryen is gone, is expected to witness some troubling time as one scene in the first episode shows him going towards part of the city where houses have caught fire.
- And the queen in King’s Landing, Margaery Tyrell, is still detained by the High Sparrow and she is not ready to confess to her sins.
