5. Tougher Girls (And Chicken)

Sandor Clegane gets some of the best lines in this episode, a highlight being when he asks one of the Brotherhood if they've any last words. However, it's another line of his that carries some added significance, when he says: "Tougher girls than you have tried to kill me.”

The Hound, of course, is referring to the last time we saw him, and notice the plural: he's talking about both Brienne and Arya, both of whom tried to kill him (and, many assumed, succeeded).

Then there's his comment about how he would "prefer chicken" when given food by the Brotherhood. Again, it's a callback to a famous Hound scene, indeed one of his best, when he murdered a bunch of men over a couple of chickens.
