Brienne vouching for Jaime
Sansa hugging a broken Theon
Grey Worm and Missandei planning for a future together away from Winterfell
Jaime, again, knighting Brienne
And Sam handing Heartsbane to Jorah in tribute to the latter's father
I must be going soft.
I totally agree with all the scenes you listed, to me the best one was "Sans and Theon"
shareYes, that really got to me.
Sansa can occasionally come across as rather aloof (which is not a criticism by the way because in her case I believe it's a defence mechanism after all the horrible stuff she's endured, partly as a consequence of being too trusting), but in this episode she admirably let down her defences and displayed the compassion she's often had to suppress, post-Joffrey/post-Ramsay, firstly by vouching for Jaime on the recommendation of Brienne, and then, most touchingly, by hugging a broken Theon, someone who no doubt came to Winterfell legitimately fearing how he'd be accepted.
