The implications of Dany’s death are so enormous that the episode devotes the back half to settling up various scores throughout Westeros.įor starters: if Dany isn’t going to rule Westeros then who will? Tyrion is led out of his dungeon by Grey Worm to attend a council pondering this very question. This concludes the first part of Game of Thrones‘ denouement – the end of Daenerys Targaryen. How can she build a better world if she started by blowing up another one? As Dany admires the Iron Throne that now belongs to her, Jon tells her she should not have destroyed the city. Jon goes to meet Dany in the Throne Room (which is now missing a ceiling thanks to Drogon’s conflagrations). Just one scene later, however, it’s clear that Tyrion’s words did have some impact. Jon carefully considers Tyrion’s words and then gravely…does nothing. “If you believed that, truly believed that – wouldn’t you kill whoever stood between you and paradise?” “She believes her destiny is to build a better world,” Tyrion tells him. Tyrion points out that the Dragon Queen’s promise to “break the wheel” of the world is now something to be feared, rather than encouraged. Tyrion wants to make it very clear to Jon that Dany is dangerous, as if the city of a half million people she destroyed wasn’t evidence enough.
