Arya and Gendry have sex this week in a moment that surprised some viewers and delighted plenty. Last week we noted the parallels to the first episode in Davos talking about marriage much like Robert saying to Ned "We'll join our houses", and here we get a different kind of follow through as the Stark and Baratheon get together.

There's also another callback though, which serves as a reminder of how long Arya has been crushing on Gendry. We get to see Gendry forging and looking like a sweaty piece, much like we did back in Season 2, when Arya not-so-subtly eyed him up.
