Previously
Jon Snow is back. I'm guessing the Night's Watch will follow him without question. Is new Jon going to be merciless and kill Thorne for his transgressions? I suppose he could just enact Night Watch law.

We didn't see Daenerys last episode, so I'm sure she'll appear in this one.

A character we've yet to see this season is Lord Baelish, Littlefinger. He was last in King's Landing.Who is he scamming now?

Check out my Game of Thrones season 6 recaps. 

Review: Episode 3 - Oathbreaker
Jon Snow is back and this is the most intriguing story happening. We're left with yet another question concerning Jon Snow this episode.  Ned Stark makes a return, though probably not as you had hoped.

Jon Snow lives and breathes, but he doesn't bleed. Snow has always been fair and deliberate, but I wouldn't mind him  rampaging for revenge.

Lord Commander Jon Snow in the house.

Davos urges Snow to keep doing what's right. He may have failed, but Davos urges him to fail again. We don't know Jon's next move, but he's regarded as a wonder for now.

From an interesting story to the Samwell Tarly story. Tarly's on a boat headed for Oldtown where he'll become a maester. Will there be anything left of Castle Black upon his return? While it's unclear just how long it takes, it's a minimum of a few years if not more than that. We've never seen a young maester.

Ned Stark has returned.

Bran's seeing another memory, one of his father at a young age. Does he have the ability to access any memory or just of his own lineage? Young Ned is seeking his sister Lyanna. I have to imagine she is of some importance. The show won't let us forget about her or Rhaegar Targaryen.

Bran learns a hard lesson. You can't trust everything you've heard. His father didn't really beat Arthur Dayne as the stories say. Bran is left with the question of what was in the tower. With a female screaming, I'm guessing Ned's sister. The Three Eyed Raven warns Bran not to stay in the memory for too long. Bran prefers the memory to reality.

The people's queen.

The Dothraki are gathering for something and I don't think it's a dance party. Since Daenerys didn't return to the Dothraki home base, instead going out into the world, her safety is not guaranteed. I doubt they'll kill her. I expect we'll tread water while the show tries to make her fate look dire before letting her off the hook. That or Jorah and Daario will swoop in to save the day.

Varys is after answers in Meereen, talking sweet and sour to Valla. Valla conspired with the Sons of the Harpy to kill the Second Sons. Who is funding them? It turns out three cities are doing the funding.
Tyrion is waiting on the answer while trying to extract any form of conversation from Grey Worm and Missandei. He's having very little luck.

Zombie Clegane.

The little birds Varys left in King's Landing are still hard at work, this time reporting to Maester Qyburn, who confirms the zombie on the Kings Guard is in fact Gregor Clegane and Qyburn is the one who did the resurrecting, not that we needed confirmation.
Jamie wants Gregor to crush the High Sparrow, but Cersei will have Gregor enter trial by combat on her behalf. Cersei's out for revenge against... everyone.
Cersei, Jamie, and Gregor join the Small Council meeting. Cersei and Olenna Tyrell joust verbally. Olenna calling for Queen Magaery's release with Cersei asserting herself as the queen. Olenna quips that it can be confusing as to who is married to the king in the Lannister family.

Tommen demands the High Sparrow forgive his mother. He's the king in name only, wielding very little power. The High Sparrow claims he's only carrying out the will of the gods.

No one fighting no one.

Arya is back at the House of Black and White, still blind. She's quizzed on family history and beaten for training. The girl with no name recounts her time with the Hound and her list. In a montage of unspecified length, Arya learns to fight blind and gets her sight back.

Ramsay Bolton is holding court in Winterfell and Lord Umber is seeking an allegiance with the Flayed Men of House Bolton to help repel the Wildlings. Umber presents a gift of Osha, Rickon Stark, and the head of Rickon's direwolf as fealty. Bran had sent the two to House Umber, a supporter of the Starks three seasons ago. Nothing creates stranger bedfellows than war and desperation.

Jon Snow's final act before he relinquishes his position.

Jon Snow has his murderers ready for the hanging and carries out the order. He then turns the position of Lord Commander over to Eddison Tollett. The oath to the Night's Watch only ends upon death, and Snow fulfilled that. What's his next move? Melisandre mused he may be the king she seeks. His reasons for leaving to help his brother Robb no longer exist, so what will he do?
If he doesn't bleed will his wounds ever heal? Does he need to eat or sleep?
