** Aurane Waters, who was AdaptedOut of the show, appears to assist Cersei in her scheme of controlling the Royal Navy. This will get a giggle from any book fan, as his story there ended with stealing the entire fleet from under Cersei's nose once it was finished.
** Alliser Thorne tells Olly they're fortunate to be able to make a HeroicSacrifice against the White Walkers, as Jon would have been well within his rights to simply hang them. In the show, that's just what happened (this chapter is the first one written after the start of Season 6).
* NotSoAboveItAll: Brienne cannot contain her laughter after Tyrion outright states that killing Littlefinger would be a minor detail.

-->'''Tywin Lannister''': (thinking) One of the reasons that he had valued the Mountain was because Cleagane had never pretended to any illusions of nobility. Tywin had spent decades dealing with Lords and Knights who would do the foulest of acts and then pretend that they were a saintly hero out of a legendary tale.\\
Now, instead of having to deal with all of that horsedung, he had somebody who he could simply toss a bag of coins to and say, "Kill this man."

And much to everyone's surprise, a simple bit of trickery actually allows him to win the combat and his freedom. He promptly leaves his family behind and sets sail for Essos, where he fares very well in the local markets with his business smarts. And this is just the first domino to fall, ultimately resulting in a quite different Westeros and Esso than you remember.
