It was all about family this week on Game of Thrones.
Sam (John Bradley) and Gilly (Hannah Murray) resurfaced to introduce us to the entire Tarly clan, Arya (Maisie Williams) had to make a difficult choice between her real family and her Faceless Men family, and Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) did whatever he could to protect his kin from the High Sparrow (Jonathan Pryce).
"Blood of My Blood" also featured the anticipated returns of two key characters who haven't been seen in years. Read on to find out who they were and scoop on all the other jaw-dropping moments from Sundays' episode.
Braavos: Thrones finally put Arya's temporary trip to No One land to rest. After some tense small talk with her intended victim, Arya's thirst for vengeance is reignited. Instead of poisoning the actress, Arya saves her life and reunites with her beloved Needle. (No lie, this was almost as satisfying and Sansa and Jon's reunion.)
But of course, that meddling Waif was watching the whole time and immediately tattles on Arya to Jaqen. While her mentor is disappointed in Arya's choice, Jaqen has no choice and sends the Waif to kill Arya.
North of the Wall: Meera (Ellie Kendrick) has somehow managed to drag Bran's useless body into the forest while he downloads all of the Three-Eyed Raven's visions (including our first look at Daenerys' dad, the Mad King Aerys!). But Hodor could only hold the door so long, and the Night's King's soldiers are soon upon them. Just when it looks like Bran's luck has finally run out, he and Meera are rescued by... wait for it... Benjen Stark (Joseph Mawle)!
