Game Of Thrones: 5 Ups And 5 Downs From The Gift

6. Brienne Still Hanging Around Outside Winterfell - Down

As we await Theon to do the right thing and place the candle in the window, we briefly glimpse Brienne waiting for the same thing. She€™s still just on the outskirts of Winterfell, biding her time while unspeakable tortures are inflicted upon the girl she vowed to protect. Yet, Brienne continues to do nothing to keep the vow she is so bothered about, and she doesn't get a proper scene this week. With Sansa still trying to get through to Theon, and arming herself as well, it may be that she€™s not even needed at Winterfell if she doesn€™t get a move on soon. Hopefully it'll all come to a head if/when Stannis arrives at Winterfell.
