What Happened In Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 10 Finale- The Winds Of Winter

What happened in Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 10, it was the finale! Tonight’s episode was longer than usual, in fact the longest episode of the series with a 69-minute runtime which left plenty of intense screentime for all of us fans. Last week’s Game of Thrones season six episode nine couldn’t have prepared me fully for these 69 minutes. The finale incredibly satisfying for those of us as everything began falling into place, but with so many intensely satisfying and bloody moments, you just have to dive into the episode. It’s all our nothing with this episode! Check out the full finale recap of what happened in Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 10 below!

What Happened In Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 10 Finale “The Winds Of Winter”

We start off tonight in King’s Landing and it’s the day of the trial for Cersei and Loras. The episode has an eerie musical track playing while we see everyone get ready for the trial. Loras stands before the High Sparrow and confesses to all the charges. Loras agrees to surrender his Tyrell name and all the luxuries and privileges his name brings, and dedicates his life to the seven gods. After agreeing, the sigil on the other servants is carved into the face of Loras.

King Tommen is met with his mother’s bodyguard who refuses to let him leave. Cersei refuses to leave and followers are dispatched to retrieve her. At the same time, Grand Maester Pycelle is trapped and brutally murdered by a horde of children. Though we had plenty of foreshadowing about Cersei’s plan, the enormity and brutality of it was simply shocking. Lancel, a member of the seven, is lured and stabbed to death by a child.

Lancel is lured down the cellars and finds himself surrounded by Wildfire, which we saw explosively used at the end of season 2. We see one of the children emerge and cut his Achilles  tendon. Then we see how dangerously close the candles are now to the Wildfire. Fighting for his life, he crawls to try and put the flames out to stop the Wildfire. Meanwhile, Margaery tries to get the high sparrow to evacuate before something goes wrong. Lancel fails and the Wildfire detonates killing the high sparrow and many others trapped inside. Cersei watches with a smile and Tommen watches with a shocked look. Cersei has just killed them all in a very big, murderous moment.

Cersei then meets with Septa Unella, who she has tied up to a table. She tortures her briefly before confessing a lot about herself and her life. After some exchanged words, she calls her bodyguard in, who is revealed to be Gregor Clegane who continues to torture her as Cersei leaves. 

It is revealed that Margaery was also killed in the Wildfire explosion set off by his mother. King Tommen then takes off his crown while watching over the burning building in the distance and then commits suicide by jumping out the window without hesitation.

A celebration is going on for the House Frey and Lannister at Riverrun. Jamie doesn’t seem to be in the celebrating mood. Walder Frey talks briefly with Jamie and before long Jamie begins insulting the Freys and then walks off. I suspect Jamie is now becoming unhinged from Cersei, and I think this will be the end of their loyalty but we will see.

Back in King’s Landing Cersei is shown the body of Tommen and funeral arrangements are made. We know in this moment that the witch’s prophecy has come true and all of Cersei’s children have been killed. The difference is, this time, Tommen was killed by Cersei’s own plans.

Benjen Stark says he cannot go pass the wall because of ancient spells but that the others must continue on without him. Bran then finds a tree and goes into a vision. It’s the same vision where he was cut off before. Where Lyanna Stark is heard screaming in a tower. She is in bad condition, bloody, and cut severely. She whispers something and makes Ned promise her something as he is handed a baby. The baby’s face is shown intensely and then to Jon Snow, giving us the idea that the baby is actually Jon Snow. At this point, we also piece together that the babies father is Rhaegar Targaryen, the crown prince of Westeros, which explains why Robert would want to kill this baby. It is also revealed what  R+L=J is, Rhaegar + Lyanna = John. They leave us in plenty of shock, and choose to get into the nitty grttty details next season. But… what… how…. Gah!
