So I'm predicting that since Jorah touched Dany and then Dany took Missandei's hand, they both now have greyscale.

They did make a heck of a show of Dany taking Missandei's hand.

I'm kind of shocked that thatwasn't Dany's next week story. I think we may not get any Dany at all next week. Don't know about the Losers Left In Mereen, though.

However, I'm also predicting that a nice, refreshing bath of fire from Drogon can cure Dany.

I don't think Dany is THAT fireproof...

I also think that Shireen is really most sincerely dead. Which means that both Stannis and Dany are more or less dead ends as far as dynasties are concerned. They may have the best claims to the throne, but that just means there's another war in a few years.

Also, not only is Stannis the Worst Parent, he's also even less beloved of his men.

So, next week...Winterfell. Some sort of something with Cersei. Arya...Jon, maybe?

Stannis and Dany are more or less dead ends as far as dynasties are concerned.

Why couldn't they have more kids?

Stannis's wife has miscarried several times (as the show decided to excitingly illustrate in her decorating choices). He could, I suppose, remarry. Maybe Margaery will be on the market again if he ends up on the throne.

After Rhaego was...born...there was the prophecy that included Dany not giving birth to a live child. That is, I suppose, also not certain, but not a great start.

I can totally see Stannis ditching Selyse for someone younger and more fertile if he ever got his hands on the Iron Throne. At this point, is there anything he wouldn't do? I do remember that Miri Maz Dur said that the dragon babies were it for Dany, right? Ain't gonna be anymore human babies. But maybe if she gets with Jon (and he really is a Targaryen like everyone assumes) he and Dany could revive that old incest-y feeling that Ellaria was reminiscing about last night. That's assuming that Jon even survives that long, which is always dicey in Westeros.

I can totally see Stannis ditching Selyse for someone younger and more fertile if he ever got his hands on the Iron Throne.

I could see this if Melisandre found some way to get rid of Selyse. I don't think that Stannis would do it on his own.

As for dynasties, hmm. There's really not much of anyone left to inherit the throne, unless Myrcella and Trystane somehow end up there. And Myrcella actually shouldn't be inheriting it, anyway.

I don't think Jon would take the throne, even if it were offered.

I think that greyscale is only contagious from touching the affected part. Otherwise, wouldn't Shireen have infected a bunch of people as a baby? The body part that gets the first sign of it is definitely the part that touched the infected person -- we've seen that twice.

FUCK, Stannis. You are on the list now.

DROGON FUCK YEAH. DRACARYS.

The focus on handholding was weird. Dany is probably immune to greyscale because of her magic dragonblood, but Melissandre might be in trouble.

What was Cersei's line to Oberyn from last season, about how there isn't anywhere that doesn't hurt little girls? This show keeps on proving her right.

Although, now that I think about it, of all the little girl characters we've seen, Myrcella is actually the safest, for now.

Have we just abandoned the Eyrie and Robin? Also, haven't seen Petyr in several episodes.

Also haven't seen Bran all season. Rickon is still missing. Gendry is still rowing.

I wonder why they changed Arya's fake name from the books. I thought that calling her Cat had a lot of resonance.

I could see this if Melisandre found some way to get rid of Selyse. I don't think that Stannis would do it on his own.

There's not much I'd put past Stannis now.

He sacrificed Shireen because Melisandre told him to. At this point, he's not doing much of anything without her direction.

Who was the man that Arya recognized?
