The good thing about being behind castle walls is that it helps keep the bad guys outside. Of course, the Freys have Edmure Tully (Tobias Menzies), but apparently, Brynden The Black Fish (Clive Russell) knows that either a) he won't get out of the castle alive or b) without Riverrun, there's not much point to being a Tully. We also get several returning members of the Tully family, as Jaime leads a host of Lannister soldiers (and a returning Bronn, hooray!) to reinforce the Frey siege of Riverrun. Of course, the returning character (you already know who it is if you're reading this) isn't the only pleasant surprise in this episode, which is loaded from top to bottom with excellent moments. As if that return isn't enough, he's got a friend with him in the form of Ian McShane playing a septon. It's the return of one of the show's most beloved characters, long after he was assumed dead. This surprise cold opening isn't Tywin Lannister grinning as he forges two Valyrian steel swords, but it's something even better.
