One of the best among the many, many reunions this week was Gendry and Arya, who came back together since parting ways back in Season 3 Episode 6, The Climb.

While Arya asks him to make a weapon, there's also plenty of bantering and even a little bit of flirting going on, with Gendry calling Arya "milady". It's a nice callback to the "milady" jokes he had with her after discovering her true identity, but it also plays into their potential romance, calling back to when he told her: "You wouldn't be my family. You'd be my lady."

It's not just the show itself referenced here either, with the Gendry/Arya relationship also going heavy on The Princess Bride vibes. She's the highborn lady, he the smith, much like the princess and the farmhand in the movie, and it gets a direct callout when Gendry repeats one of its most famous lines: "As you wish."
