GAME OF THRONES SEASON 8 EPISODE 2 WRITTEN UPDATE: WHITE WALKERS REACH WINTERFELL; BRAN STARK IS FINALLY USEFUL

Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 2 Written Update: White Walkers reach Winterfell; Bran Stark is finally useful


HBO tried their best but there’s only so much you can do when people around you have got twitchy fingers! The second episode of Game of Thrones season 8 was leaked online thanks to someone in the German division of Amazon Prime. It has since been uploaded on zillion websites. The first episode, as you’d recall, was leaked an hour early. This really isn’t a great time to be the HBO chief right now!

Coming to the meat of the matter, Episode 2, is very different from what we’re used to expecting from Game of Thrones. Fifty-five minutes just flashed right in front of my eyes without anyone dying, nor did the location move away from Winterfell. There was the talk of death, of course, and plenty of drinking, and some intimate moments with…Arya Stark. Wait, did I just spoil it for you? This is a written update, mate. The headline says it all. Stick around for some more spoilers below.

Episode 2 (and we’ll call it that henceforth since HBO hasn’t attached a name to it yet), begins right after Jamie Lannister’s arrival at Winterfell. He soon found himself in front of a committee consisting of Daenerys Targaryen, Sansa and Bran Stark, Jon Snow, his brother Tyrion, and a few others. The group debate over Jamie’s arrival at Winterfell while Tyrion tries to defend his brother. We realise that ol’ Jamie has switched sides for good. He intends to keep his promise of helping the fight against the White Walkers and reveals Cersei Lannister’s deepest, darkest secrets – the one about betraying their supposed alliance.

Lady Brienne steps in to vouch for Jamie, following which Sansa allows him to stay in the castle. Dany looked scandalised that her authority as queen was being undermined. She immediately turned to her boo, Jon Snow, for support. Jon echoes Sansa. The animosity between Sansa and Dany continues, though, at this point, it is reduced to a few glares. As Jamie reveals Cersei’s plans, we realise that Sansa was the most rational of the lot, predicting her move in the last episode. Tyrion gets a talking to Dany, for failing her repeatedly.
