Game Of Thrones: 10 Questions We’re Asking After 'Sons Of The Harpy'

7. What Does Melisandre Want?

Melisandre is basically a walking question mark, with no real indication of her motives or end-game, with the only set-in-stone fact about her being that she's not shy when it comes to seduction and manipulation. She's obsessed with noble blood, especially if it's flowing through a bastard son's veins, with Gendry being leeched in Season 3. Speaking of him, is he still just endlessly rowing his boat around the world or will he make a comeback? Jon Snow is her latest target and the line: "In our joining, there€™s power. Power to make life, power to make light, power to cast shadows,€ suggests she wants another shadow baby like the once she created with Stannis to wipe out Renly Baratheon. While her "you know nothing, Jon Snow" did provoke a feeling of 'not again...' it also adds intrigue as to how she even knew about Ygritte's trademark line.
