‘Game of Thrones’ season 5, episode 2 preview: Maisie Williams’ journey in ‘The House of Black and White’

Tonight’s episode of “Game of Thrones” set the stage for everything that took place in Westeros and beyond over the course of the entire season. However, when you have a cast that is so massive and sprawling, there is virtually no way at all to ensure that every single person is included within the span of an hour of television.

This is where next week’s new episode entitled “The House of Black and White” comes into play. This is where you are going to get your first real opportunity to see some locations and characters this season, and the world is expanding as the political landscape greatly changes in its own way. The aftereffects of the death of Tywin Lannister are not entirely known just yet.

Want to know some other news? Then be sure to view the HBO synopsis below:

“Arya (Maisie Williams) arrives in Braavos. Pod (Daniel Portman) and Brienne (Gwendoline Christie) run into trouble on the road. Cersei fears for her daughter’s safety in Dorne as Ellaria Sand (Indira Varma) seeks revenge for Oberyn’s death. Stannis (Stephen Dillane) tempts Jon. An advisor tempts Daenerys.”

The key shocker at the end of the premiere was the death of Mance Rayder, and that move should shift somewhat what Jon chooses to do moving forward. He cannot be that thrilled with Stannis, but at the same time, he also knows that there are sides that need to be chosen. The Night’s Watch cannot go against this man.
