SPOILERS AHEAD- SPOILERS AHEAD- SPOILERS AHEAD- SPOILERS AHEAD- SPOILERS AHEAD
As the episode title is dedicated to her journey, we'll start with Arya. She finally manages to find Jaqen H'ghar (or the human equivalent) and is allowed into the House of Black and White. And while most characters journey are to develop their character and plots are usually designed to help characters 'find themselves', we're doing the exact opposite with Arya- we essentially want her to become no one and lose Arya Stark completely.

Over to Breinne, she found Sansa! She's finally found both of the Stark sisters and... neither of them wants her protection. So, really, what point does she serve? Sansa runs off with Baelish (because trusting Baelish more than anyone else is a clever idea) and Brienne has decided to follow them. In Sansa's defence, she may not be able to trust Baelish but at least she knows where she stands with him- she knows nothing about Brienne.
In King's Landing, we have the Lannister siblings slaying as always.... Cersei has put a bounty on Tyrion's head and she's quite comfortable controlling the Small Council however she sees fit because Tommen's the King and that means she's in charge, right?
Jaime, on the other hand (no pun intended), has enlisted Bronn to help him bring Myrcella back from Dorne which I'm happy about because I still want to see Bronn even though Tyrion's no longer in King's Landing.
Talking of Tyrion, he was stuck in a box with Varys through this episode and they're on the road through Volantis to meet Daenerys (I can't wait for that scene!!!).

But Daenerys is in a sticky situation at the moment (and I'm sure Tyrion would be a superb help). They find one of the Sons of the Harpy and agree to give him a fair trial (Khaleesi is nothing if not just). But one of the slaves decides he doesn't care about this and decides to kill the guy. Because of this slave, Dany really has no choice but to enforce the law and give the slave a death penalty. This decision ultimately causes the slaves to turn against her and causes a full blown riot. If only Jorah were still here....
Finally, we had Jon Snow.... or should I say Lord Commander Snow? (Let's stick with Jon). He refuses Stannis' offer to become Lord Stark and sticks with the Night's Watch, earning a place as their Lord Commander (which wasn't predictable at all). I'm happy for him and all but I want him out of there! Every time he has an escape route he refuses because he's 'loyal to his vows'. I knew those bloody vows would be the bane of my existence when he said them.
