“Game of Thrones” Season 6 Episode 3 entitled “Oathbreaker” revealed a lot of things, like the resurrection of Jon Snow, along with other surprising events.

Tower of Joy flashback was the highlight of the third episode of Game of Thrones’ sixth season, and it explored uncharted territory from A Song of Ice and Fire series.
# After undergoing numerous tasks and fights, Arya is finally able to beat the waif whilst her rigorous training resulting in Jaqen H’ghar returning her eyesight as she has completely given up on her identity.
Though we’re only three episodes into this season of “GoT“, we already know the flashbacks Brandon Stark takes with the Three-Eyed Raven are going to be a regularity. And in pure plot terms, the vision gave a tantalising hint as to the fate of Lyanna Stark, the source of the post-fight scream we hear.
“I emailed her to just kind of check if everything was okay to play her”.
As it turns out, killing Olly may have also been the final straw for him in his decision to move away from Castle Black and the Night’s Watch now that he has come back to life.
Although, as customary as it has been for the makers, they yet again sign off with a cliff hanger where Jon Snow quotes: “May Watch Has Ended”, now what do we make of that? In the books, Bran called out to his father during a vision as Ned sat under the Heart Tree in Winterfell, and Ned reacted as if he heard something.
Fans of the show were on the edge of their seats on Monday when it would be revealed if an attempt to bring Jon back from the dead would work. Arya has not only honed all of her senses but she also grew as an assassin and we should expect to see her scoring off her death-list in the not so distant future.
The stories Daenerys tells herself also took a hit in credibility.
The truly bad news of the week arrived at Winterfell, where Ramsay Bolton was brought the gift of a captured Rickon Stark and his guardian Osha, along with the head of his direwolf Shaggydog. Once Ramsay is satisfied that Rickon is, indeed, who Umber claims he is, he smiles cruelly and says, “Welcome home, Lord Stark”.
After months of waiting, wondering, and denials from those involved, it’s great to have Jon Snow actually back on the show now, and getting into the action more than just opening his eyes, as he deals with his sudden return to life.
Ned Stark was an honourable man who loved Catelynn Stark. Their back-and-forth digs out deeply buried feelings in the trainee: She considers Jon a real brother despite his bastard status, and she’d actually chose to spare her old running buddy the Hound from death before circumstances necessitated a Plan B. Coming to terms with this stuff appears to have played a big a part in her mentor Jaqen H’ghar’s decision to restore her eyesight as her newfound Daredevil-style ability to fight blind did. He lets the boy hang.
