5.10 "Mother's Mercy" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Melisandre

When Melisandre saw the ice melting, she smiled as though she'd been right. Unfortunately, I do not think burning a child alive merits you reward with a God of good. Afterward, one of his men came up to Stannis and informed him nearly half his men had deserted before dawn, including sellswords, and taken the horses. Another man walked up to inform Stannis of his wife's death.

Answer: Hanging

She was hanging from a tree, an apparent suicide, but one can never be sure. After she was cut down, Stannis was informed that Melisandre was seen riding away.

Answer: Yes

Sam wanted to take Gilly and baby Sam to Oldtown, to keep them safe. He wanted to become a Maester, a role he felt much better suited him. Jon allowed the three of them to leave Castle Black, which left him with hardly a supporter remaining.

Answer: Sam

Sam promised he'd come back to Castle Black. He wanted to learn all of the things at the Citadel that would be of real use to Jon.

Answer: Brienne

The Bolton army destroyed Stannis' army, and Stannis was badly injured when Brienne found him. She identified herself in full, and sentenced him to death in the name of his brother, Renly. When asked if he had any last words, Stannis told her to go ahead and do her duty. Whether or not he was actually killed was left unknown.

Answer: Theon

Sansa tried to be quick and discreet, but she found herself at the pointy end of Myranda's arrow. Theon stood meekly behind her as she threatened Sansa. After Myranda relished her verbal torture of Sansa, she readied herself to put a non fatal arrow through her. Theon stopped her, and then shoved her over the balcony to her death.

Answer: no one

"A girl has taken a life. The wrong life." This was spoken by someone wearing the face she'd come to know as her friend Jaqen. Since she'd killed the wrong man, a life had to be given to balance the scales. So, the person wearing that face drank from a bottle and died.

The Waif told a grief stricken Arya that Jaqen was not her friend. Arya should have known this just by her teachings. Then, standing behind Arya, was who I assumed to be the Jaqen she well knew. He told her she should have been "no one", as was the dead person lying in front of her, before she took a face from the wall. "The faces are for no one. You are still someone."

Answer: True

Doran Martell bid a safe journey to Jaime and Myrcella. Ellaria Sand told Myrcella to forgive her, and that she wished her all the happiness in the world. Then, she kissed Myrcella on the mouth. It was a fatal kiss. Not long after they set sail, Myrcella told Jaime she knew he was her father and that she was happy about it.

Then, the poison from Ellaria's lips took hold and Myrcella died in Jaime's arms. Ellaria, of course, had the antidote.

Answer: Tyrion

This was just after Tyrion was told he had to stay in Meereen. Jorah and Daario would go out and search for Daenerys. Tyrion, Grey Worm, and Missandei would stay behind and try to keep Meereen calm until Daenerys could return. Varys approached Tyrion and spoke those words to him.

Answer: High Sparrow

Cersei confessed to the High Sparrow in order to be freed from the cell. She told him that she'd lain with a man outside of marriage. When told to name him, she claimed it was Lancel instead of her brother Jaime. She denied any other men and denied that Robert was not the father of her children. Cersei was shocked to learn that she'd still face a trial. She begged for the Mother's mercy so that she could see Tommen. High Sparrow said she could return to the Red Keep because she'd taken the first step back to righteousness. She had to atone before returning, and that consisted of being scrubbed clean, having a lot of her hair hacked off, and walking through the town naked. At the end of that very degrading walk, she was carried away by a reanimated Mountain, Gregor Clegane.

At the end of the episode, Melisandre returned to Castle Black. She was the very silent bearer of bad news for Jon and Davos. Then, the Watch turned on Jon Snow. He was stabbed by six people, including young Olly. The audience got to watch sadly as the light faded from his eyes and the blood drained from his body.
