History Recap / GameOfThronesS5E3HighSparrow

* AintToProudToBeg: The minute Janos [[OhCrap realizes]] that Jon Snow is really going to execute him, he starts crying, pleads for his life, and admits to being a coward. Jon executes him anyway.

* TheRightfulKingReturns: Sansa Stark makes it back to Winterfell for the first time since the start of season 1. Notably, she's the first Stark to come back to Winterfell after leaving.

* OffWithHisHead: Once again, a member of the Night's Watch learns that disobeying direct orders/abandoning your post, for whatever reason, will not be tolerated. Should've just held your tongue, Janos Slynt.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Lancel Lannister bitchslaps Olyvar with malicious intent in order to get at the High Septon during the brothel raid.

** Taking it all the way back to the first episode of the series, "[[GameOfThronesS1E1WinterIsComing Winter Is Coming]]": as Jon Snow is the man that passes the sentence, Jon Snow is the man that swings the blade.

* JustTheFirstCitizen: Cersei goes seeking the vaulted, dangerous leader of the rising sect of the religious order called the Sparrows. When she spots a simple, dirty monk doling out stew, and asks where to find the High Sparrow, it turns out to be him.

Sansa/Alayne, Littlefinger, and company approach '''Moat Cailin'''.

Next, at '''Winterfell''',

Next, at '''the Dreadfort''',

We begin in '''Braavos''', with Arya sweeping the floors, keeping an ear on everything going on in The House of Black and White. She confronts Jaqen H'gar about it — she wants to train, not clean. He gives her a calm "valar dohaeris" ("all men must serve") and the cryptic adive that she must "become no one" in order to serve the Many-Faced God. She points out how statues of gods from all the world's faiths surround her, but no Many-Faced God. "There is only one God," he tells her, "and all men know his gift." He leaves. Arya watches some monks carry a body away, but they will not answer her where they are taking it.

Wedding bells are ringing in '''King's Landing''' for Margaery and Tommen. Cersei looks sour the whole time, both being escorted through the streets and during the ceremony in the Sept. The crowds only cheer for Queen Margaery. The couple recite their vows, looking quite happy.

After, in the young king's chambers,

-->"Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? Like Lord Duckling, or King Turtle. We're often stuck with the names our enemies give to us. The notion that we are all equal in the eyes of Seven doesn't sit well with some so they belittle me. It's only a name, quite an easy burden to wear."

* Meaningful Background Event: Qyburn has a raven to send off, so he'll just sit quietly in his lab in peace, the camera taking in the large, covered body in the background. And then the body thrashes, pulling at chains holding it down.

* CallBack: Reek/Theon sees the caged messenger ravens being resupplied to Winterfell, after he had them all shot from the sky in "[[GameOfThronesS2E8ThePrinceOfWinterfell The Prince Of Winterfell]]."

* TheLoinsSleepTonight: Despite his insistence to visit a whorehouse, Tyrion is dismayed to discover his desire waning when a girl takes his hand. More than likely, his lingering memories of Shae and her murder are playing havoc with his mind.
