The sixth and long-awaited season of HBO's most watched show, "Game of Thrones," has kick started on April 24, Sunday. While the fans are still coping up with the overwhelming premiere episode complete with two shocking deaths, the network has already released the upcoming episodes' title and synopsis.
Just like it was rumored earlier, HBO confirmed that episode 2 is titled "Home." It is written by Dave Hill and directed by Jeremy Podeswa.
"Game of Thrones" season 6 episode 2 will feature Bran Stark, who will be seen on the show after a hiatus of one whole season. He was last seen in season 4 finale episode, titled "The Children," along with Hodor and Meera Reed at the location of the Heart Tree. While there, he met the three-eyed raven who told him though he could not restore his broken legs but he could definitely make him fly.
In the recently released preview clip of the upcoming episode, Bran is seen waking up at exactly the same spot where he was last seen in season 4. However, the noticeable difference here is that Isaac Hempstead Wright, the actor who plays the character, is looking appreciably older and mature.
The episode 2 promo also shows Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) clashing with the Kingsguard, while Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) confesses his darkest sins to the Hight Sparrow (Jonathan Pryce). Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon) is seen suggesting that his troops "storm" Castle Black since he anticipates that Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) is heading that way.
Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) is seen in conversation with Sansa somewhere in the wilderness.
"I spent three days looking for her," says Brienne just as a shot of Arya reveals that she is blindly trying to use a staff. The promo video ends with a quick glimpse of Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) face to face with one of Daenerys Targaryen's (Emilia Clarke) dragons.
Meanwhile, Clarke has finally spoken about her character's fate in season 6. The actress sounded excited as she declared that Daenerys will be using everything she's learned in this season.
"She lands on her feet, does very well and it's safe to say that her eyes are on the prize. This is like a big one for her," the actress told Mirror.
