Game Of Thrones Season 8: 8 Huge Questions 'The Bells' Leaves Behind
8. What's Happening In The North?
Building upon the end of The Last of the Starks, Episode 5 takes place entirely in the South, with the action spread across Dragonstone and King’s Landing. It’s a logical choice, because there’s a lot to get through here without much of an opportunity to deviate away, but it does leave what’s going on in the North as something of a mystery.
There are still a lot of key characters left at Winterfell, not least in the form of two of the most important: Sansa and Bran Stark. The former has a rivalry with Daenerys that feels like it needs some closure, and the latter, aside from keeping Westeros’ history, surely has to do *something*.
Are they both just sat round the fire, with Bran relaying what’s happened? Is there’s some plotting going on? There’s a vast chasm between North and South right now, which needs to be crossed next week.
