Game of Thrones season 8 ep 2: Ser Jaime – Bran Stark’s reunion gave us goosebumps

This morning (April 22), the second episode of the epic fantasy series Game of Thrones season 8 was aired and it was everything that we all were waiting for. The big war is at the doorsteps and Winterfell witnessed quite a few closures. In fact, this episode of GOT was like a kiss before the war that you look at and adore but you know that winter is here and things are only going to get darker from hereon. SPOILERS AHEAD, stop here if you haven’t seen the episode yet and if you don’t mind them, be our guest.
Here are the best moments from the episode 2 of Game of Thrones season 8.

 Jaime in the court

Jaime stands in the court

Well, this shouldn’t come as a spoiler as the teaser video of the episode showed the same. The episode starts with Jaime standing in front of the whole court while all the lords and kings sit together to decide his fate. Why would Daenerys Targaryen believe a man who killed her father? And so she questions him. Jaime tries to defend his actions and makes it quite clear that he wants to fight for the living. What won our hearts though was Bran’s quote. When Jaime defended why he killed The Mad King and betrayed Ned Stark, Bran said, “Things we do for Love,” GOOSEBUMPS. Brienne comes forward and vouches for Jamie which obviously got us all nostalgic.

Jaime finally meets Bran

Frankly speaking, Bran freaked us out in the second episode. He had not much to say in the first episode but this time he had few spine-chilling moments. After Jaime is allowed to fight for the living, he meets Bran in the woods where he tries to apologise for his wrongdoings. Well, our boy Bran forgives him. The Three-eyed-raven narrates how this all wouldn’t have happened if not that day. And when he says, “I am someone else”, it’s like a solid punch right in your face.

Sansa and Dany’s conversation

The tension between the two most powerful ladies in Westeros has been evident. In today’s episode, the Mother of Dragons took the first step towards friendship and they finally spoke their hearts out. But Sansa said the North won’t bend its knee and Dany didn’t look happy. Before she could say anything else, Theon makes a dramatic entry.

 Strategy for the War

Strategy for the Great War

We saw the strategy taking place and how the North with all its allies is preparing for the war. Bran cleared the air and told everyone that he can be used to lure the Night King as he is coming for him. So let’s see in the coming episodes how they use Bran.

Arya and Gendry’s romance

The romantic tension between these two was on its peak and the makers chose not to stretch it any further which was just perfect. Hold your breath, Gendry and Arya are seen making out in the episode and now we are excited to see where this relationship goes.

Brienne gets the Knighthood

Brienne becomes a knight

Brienne, Jaime, Tyrion, Ser Davos, and Tormund gather in one room to sip away some wine and chit chat before the big war. Tyrion talks about life coming to a full circle as it all started in the Winterfell and will also end in Winterfell. But the highlight was when Jaime out of his love and respect declares Brienne a Knight of the seven kingdoms.

Theon comes to winterfell

The second episode was full of thrills, love, and closures. There were moments when Sansa hugged Theon, Arya kissed Gendry and Brienne rose as the Knight. Also, Dany knows that Jon Snow is Aegon Targaryen and we are curious what will be her next step. And hold your breath as we announce that the third episode will begin the Great War as the Night King has reached the doorsteps of Winterfell and we obviously can’t keep calm.
