Meet Melisandre without her mask — well, without the necklace that masks her true age and appearance. A large portion of this episode concerns itself with the Red Woman losing faith in the Lord of Light. The unfortunate side effect is that many of us lose faith in the show since some of our favourite characters like Sansa Stark and Theon Greyjoy receive little airtime despite their escape from Winterfell being a much more compelling storyline. Instead, we suffer through the Red Woman's backstory as penance for the inevitable return of Jon Snow, which takes place in the following episode.
