Game of Thrones

The High Sparrow sets his sights on a new target, intensifying his political manoeuvres, while Jaime confronts a celebrated hero in a tense encounter. Olenna Tyrell plans to leave King's Landing, and Arya formulates her own plan, as the season progresses.

The Broken Man is a programme presented as an episode, falling within the genre of an episode‑type series. It follows the ongoing narrative of the larger story, delivering a self‑contained segment that moves several characters forward. In this instalment the High Sparrow turns his attention to a fresh target, signalling a shift in his agenda. At the same time, Jaime finds himself face‑to‑face with a recognised hero, leading to a tense confrontation. Olenna Tyrell, ever pragmatic, decides she’ll be leaving King’s Landing, while Arya quietly formulates her own plan. The High Sparrow’s new focus hints at further manoeuvring within the city’s power structures, and Jaime’s clash with the hero underscores his lingering sense of honour and rivalry. Both scenes are set against a backdrop of rising tension as alliances are tested. Olenna’s intention to depart suggests a strategic withdrawal from the capital’s intrigue, and Arya’s scheming points to a personal agenda that could intersect with the larger conflicts. Together, these threads weave a picture of shifting loyalties and emerging strategies as the episode draws to a close.
