King's Landing

Euron and the Ironborn bring their prisoners to King's Landing and parade them through the streets.
   

• [The parade:] "I only spotted it for the first time a few weeks ago - it's literally only 3 or 4 lines in the script though, because there's little or no dialogue during it, except Euron taunting Yara."
    
• "Ellaria and Tyene are taken back to Kings Landing as gifts for Cersei, along with Yara."

King's Landing

Ellaria is made to watch her daughter Tyene die from a poison kiss delivered by Cersei.

• [Euron] "imprisons Ellaria and makes her watch as Tyene dies a slow death from poison - payback from Cersei for Myrcella."
    
• "Ellaria is made to watch her youngest (I cannnever remember their name. Bad pussy one, yes?) die from a poison kiss delivered by Cersei herself - she wants to make her suffer the way she suffered for Myrcella. Yara is taken prisoner and treated badly, but we don't see her die this season, so there's still hope Theon may rescue her."
   
• [Ellaria:] "We don't see her again after she's left to watch Tyene die, but it's heavily implied she's dead."
   
• [Ellaria:] "We don't see her again but it's implied she's left to starve to death in the dungeon."

King's Landing

Cersei and Jaime have sex.

• [PM to Princesscarolynx][After Cersei killed Tyene, she seduces Jaime - Quote from script]: "She strips him naked and sinks to her knees. Jaime flashes the ass that got him the cover of men's health and is the first man in westerosi history to get blown by the queen."
    
• "in he next Cersei/Jaime scene following it a maid goes to enter the room while they are still in bed. Cersei tells her to enter, and Jamie is all like "wtf, everyone will know", but Cersei tells him she literally doesn't care and who is going to stop her doing whatever she wants at this point."
  

 

  

Winterfell

Bran and Meera arrive in Winterfell.
 

• [Bran] "and Meera won't reach Winterfell until ep 3."
   

• [Bran will] "come through the wall in practically the first scene of Season 7, and he'll be back at Winterfell by the 4th episode."
   

• [Sansa] "gets Arya and Bran back (sort of, Bran is no longer 'Bran' - all distant and visions)."
   

• [Meera] "just sort of disappears from the story after bringing Bran to Winterfell. She leaves to go back to her family home."
    

• [PM to maureencreates]: "Bran isn't interested in ruling at all. Or talking to anyone much."
   

• [PM to conordmcmahon]: "We only SEE a couple of Bran flashbacks, but his ability comes into play a few times. He knows about Arya's list when they're reunited, and he knows what happened to Sansa with Ramsey."

Dragonstone

Jon and Davos arrive at Dragonstone and are received by Tyrion (and Missandei). They have to hand over their weapons, their boat is taken by Dothraki guards. On their way to the Throne Room, they see a dragon for the first time.

• [PM to ???]: "When they meet first time he's with David, and he meets Tyrion at the shore of Dragonstone (and a bunch of Dothraki take their boat, so Jon realised he isn't leaving easily). So they surrender their weapons and follow Tyrion up to where Dany is, and before Dany comes in they meet Missandei and Grey Worm. Oh and there's a bunch of Dothraki in the Throne Room too, sort of like Dany's Kingsguard."

Dragonstone

Melisandre leaves Dragonstone.

• "Melisandre mostly keeps out of it all - she's reduced to 2 or 3 appearances across the whole season, mostly complaining about the terrible things she's done. One note - she does say she's fulfilled her task of bringing together 'Ice and Fire' when Dany and Jon meet."
   
• "Mellisandre suggests she will leave Westoros for a while. Varys tells her that she might not be safe if she ever returns."
    
• [Melisandre is] "only at Dragonstone, and then she leaves just before Jon arrives."

Dragonstone

Tyrion plans the attack on Casterly Rock.

• [PM to maureencreates]: "[Tyrion] mostly spends his time counselling Dany. He plans an attack on Casterly Rock. Since Tyrion was tasked with designing the sewer system he knows of a secret entrance that he used to sneak whores in by (to a secret chamber)."

   

  

Casterly Rock

Grey Worm and the Unsullied take Casterly Rock, which is only lightly defended (Report by WotW).
 

• "Not sure how to make it clearer: Casterly Rock is taken in 703."
    
• "The Unsullied attack it with a large force, while a small force led by Grey Worm sneaks in via Tyrion's secret whore entrance and slays the garrison force that's there."
    
• [Lannister strategy]: "A small garrison force is left behind, but most of the troops are taken to Highgarden. It puzzles the Unsullied that the Rock is so easily taken."
   
• [PM to KaySen762]: "Greyworm leads the attack on Casterly Rock as per Tyrion's plan. Casterly Rock is taken quite easily, as the Lannister's essentially have abandoned it, rationalising that once Dany's forces take it they will be cut off from the Sea by Euron's forces, and the Lannister forces will cut them off by land - they won't be able to hold the Rock for a significant time. Eventually (and pretty sure this isn't on screen) they abandon CR and Grey Worm rejoins Dany's forces, and will be in the Dragonpit scene."
    
• "The thinking is that rather than sacrifice a bunch of resources defending Casterly Rock, use them to take Highgarden and then recapture the Rock at a later stage, as they can cut it off from supplies in the meantime. Cersei and Jaime's plan, and it pays off."
    
• [PM to maureencreates]: "[Tyrion] mostly spends his time counselling Dany. He plans an attack on Casterly Rock. Since Tyrion was tasked with designing the sewer system he knows of a secret entrance that he used to sneak whores in by (to a secret chamber)."

Highgarden

The Lannister armies lead by Jaime destroy the Tyrell army and sack Highgarden. Jaime offers Olenna to commit suicide by poison, which she accepts.
 

• [the Lannisters] "destroy the Martells and Tyrells pretty easily in the first few episodes - Westoros isn't the pushover that Dany expects, and Jaime is a better strategist than Tyrion gives him credit for."
   

• [Responsible for Joffrey's death] "was Olenna. She'll own up to it next season." 
   

• "you aren't going to see a huge battle at Highgarden - only the immediate aftermath."
    

"When we arrive at that scene it's just as the Lannisters have won, and we'll see Jaime moving through the castle grounds and the castle as around him Highgarden soldiers are being donated off by his troops. These are all preamble scenes to his meeting with Olenna."
 

• "I'd say the entire Highgarden sequence takes about 5 minutes, although that's hard to guess off the page."
   
• "Oh, and Jaime being there, the whole battle, is a narrative surprise really. So it's meant to be a bit of a shock that this is even happening, as it occurs DIRECTLY after the Unsullied take a surprisingly under-defended Casterly Rock, and they wonder where the Lannister forces are. Cut to - Highgarden. Ta da."
   

[PM to farmatwnzwwn]: "He said that Olenna never meets Daenerys. Jaime poisons her, but it's not surprise - he hands her the poison to offer her a painless death, rather than him killing her with a blade. Happens right at the end of Episode 3."
 

[PM to flowercrownss]: "Jaime allows [Olenna] to drink poison after the Lannister army sacks Highgarden.
  

[PM to andretosatt, not quoted literally]: Olenna takes poison given to her by Jaime. As she waits to die she tells him it was her that killed Joffrey. She seems to enjoy this.

Dragonstone

At Dragonstone, Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen meet for the first time. 

 

• [Jon and Daenerys] "meet around episode 2 of the 7th season and be boning by the very end of episode 7. Lots of 'getting to know you' time leading up to it."
   
• [First meeting Dany - Jon in Dragonstone happens] "Season 7, 3rd episode"
   

• "And the relationship between them will be pretty frosty to start with - she wants him to bend the knee, and he doesn't want to, but they'll grow to admire each other over the season. And then bone at the end."
   

• "She's heard stuff from Tyrion about him, but even he's surprised that the young man he met at Winterfall is now the KITN. When she sees him she's surprised at how young he is. She hasn't heard about his resurrection though, and Davos sort of mentions it, but Jon dismisses it - he doesn't want to discuss it."
   

• "Jon doesn't WANT people knowing he was resurrected. He finds it a bit embarrassing, and stops Davos from telling Dany et all."
   

• "She likes Jon from the start, simple as that. He isn't scared of her and nothing he says contradicts her worldview - she can see he only wants to help his people. Not a threat."
   

• "No, he's pretty straight with her, and she admires it but does her best not to show it."
   

• "So Jon and Davos meet Dany, and then have a bit of a crisis because she no more believes in White Walkers than the Lannisters do. Tyrion persuades her that Jon is not mental though, and Jon eventually swears fealty to Dany, in exchange for her to fight alongside the North against the army of the Undead."
   

• "Obviously the other kings aren't answering her ravens or have already pledged to her - Dorne, Highgarden have sworn to her, Iron Islands have joined Cersei."
   

• "He doesn't submit to give up KITN title until Episode 6. It isn't as important to him as persuading Dany to fight with the North against Undead."
   

• "Tyrion and Jon get a few nice scenes together, where Tyrion tries to persuade Jon that Dany is good for Westerns, and also where they reflect on where they've come from and where they are now."
   

• "Dany justifies her killing people by pointing out that Jon himself has slain many enemies. He concedes the point."
   

• "Well, there's a touch of strategising on how to take on the Lannisters, who destroy the Martells and Tyrells pretty easily in the first few episodes - Westoros isn't the pushover that Dany expects, and Jaime is a better strategist than Tyrion gives him credit for."
    

• [The first meeting between Jonand Daenerys is] "a bit more formal, but I think it'll be made clear from the moment they meet that there's an attraction. She's cold towards him though, and he's very clear about what he wants - help against the WW."
   

• [PM to xOx_D-Targ6969_oXo]: "By now they know Jon is KITN, and so Dany asks Tyrion about him. When he arrives though she's surprised how young he is, to have achieved so much."
