Game Of Thrones Preview: What To Expect From S5E9 The Dance Of Dragons

7. Sam€™s Farewell?

The image above shows that Jon and Sam are definitely sharing some screentime, but the other shots are of Jon Snow in a similar scene, only standing alone. Will this be the episode where Sam finally heads off to Oldtown? The need for Sam to delve deeper into the history of dragonglass (and now Valyrian steel as well) and it€™s ability to defeat the Others has taken on an added urgency after last week, so it€™d make sense if Jon€™s return saw him ordering his friend away from Castle Black and to the Citadel. It would also be just like Jon to make sure he got his friend out of harm€™s way, even if it makes his own situation worse.
