Political Wins

5:31 (+3) Bran Stark:

Bran discovers Hodor's real name - Willas - and that he used to be able to talk while going back to the future with the Three-Eyed Raven. (Secret Discovery)

41:21 (+3) Balon Greyjoy:

Balon commands that the Ironborn should continue attacking the mainland over Yara Greyjoy's protests.
Yara: "We took those castles because the Northerners marched off to war. That war is over. The last time we provoked them too far, I watched from that window as they breached our walls and knocked down our towers. I lost two brothers that day."
Balon: "And I lost three sons. ... when you rule the Iron Islands you can wage all the peace you want but for now shut your mouth and obey or I will make another heir who will." (Executive Decision)

Dispute. The points are valid but they should be under insults as a Threat. He didn't make any decisions, he just refused to change his mind. -alicehanners

He made both an executive decision and a threat, both should count. -nsimmonds

He made the decision ages ago, off-screen. Yara keeps trying to change his mind and failing. He didn't make any new decisions in this scene though. -alicehanners

If that's the reasoning--asserting their political power--what power did Balon actually assert? He didn't send Yara on any missions, didn't tell her to do or not do anything except be quiet, and I hope we aren't giving out points every time someone tells someone to be quiet :P

However, I would not consider Robert's second assertion as a decision. He made the decision in the small council. Ned tried to change his mind--Yara tries to change Balon's mind about going for more inland holdings--and both fail. It's a failure for Ned and Yara, not a success for Robert or Balon.

In a perfect parallel to Yara/Balon, Ramsay tries to convince Roose to go against Castle Black. Roose refuses. Yet he gets no political points. Possibly because Ramsay then kills him, but if Balon's "decision" counts, then Roose's decision counts as well. It's the same kind of "decision," it was already made before this episode. -alicehanners

I think Roose should get points there, too. He's presented with two options, stay the course or do something else, and over his subordinates' protests he makes a choice. -nsimmonds

We see Bran Warging in the beginning of the episode. He lets go (that's 1).

Then we see him Warg again, into the Ned/Willis Scene (That's 2). -klov3r

@klov3r I don't think there was anything aside from the flashback to Winterfell scene. We get the GoT title sequence, then a fade-in of Bran and Three-Eyed Raven stoned out among the weirwood branches with their eyes whited out. Then we just cut immediately to Ned and Benjen fighting. -nyan
