Going back to last episode, did anyone else think it was kind of weird that the Great Masters sail into enemy lands with no guards and have a meeting with no guards? Grey Worm could have dispatched them all in a few seconds without drawing a sweat.
Anyhow, I thought that was weird.
I know this is from last week's episode, but there was something else I was wondering about leading up to that scene: Varys did his interrogation work to find out who is funding the Sons of the Harpy and the revelation was that it was the Great Masters. If Tyrion and company had to guess who was behind the SotH, wouldn't the Great Masters be their #1 suspect? I thought the goal of the Varys' questioning was to find the identity of the person(s) in the city who was leading the SotH. In the end, it didn't make too much of a difference since, if Grey Worm killed those people, they would just be replaced with others. I guess I was expecting something different than Varys coming back and saying "Yeah, it's who we thought it was."
As for this week's episode, what does Littlefinger tell the knights of the Vale now? False alarm? They said they didn't need help, so let's go home? I know it's a show, so there aren't real world implications, but it's not an easy to say there's an important battle to fight, raise an army, get it provisioned and on the move and then tell it to go home without fighting. At a minimum, does Littlefinger lose some political points for turning around like that?
Also, Sansa, Jon and company going to have to ride right by where the Vale army was camped on their way to Riverrun. If they are still there, that's going to be a surprise for everyone except Sansa and Brienne.
