Game Of Thrones: 15 Unforgettable Scenes From Season 7
8. Daenerys Confronts Varys
Both Varys and Littlefinger have spent the entire series playing whatever side of the conflict they can in order to further their own ends. Between the two of them, at least Varys has something resembling ethical intentions.
This season we got to see them both face rulers they have wronged, and they're both forced to justify their deceptions. Varys handles it significantly better than his Irish counterpart.
When he's interrogated by Daenerys about the attempt to poison her back in season one, he doesn't deny any responsibility. Rather, we got a chance to see him actually explain how his motivations and allegiances changed over the series, which was mostly implied until this point.
Not only did we get another window into the most interesting character in the series, we get to see Dany actually think critically about her own situation for once. She's learning how to become a better ruler after all.
