This episode is most notable for the poor decision making of Stannis Baratheon who allows Melisandre to sacrifice his daughter, Shireen, to gain favour from the Lord of Light in the wake of a devastating supply raid by Ramsay Bolton. The moment is one of the show's most difficult to bear and debases the already tedious Red Woman subplot. On the upside, this is also the episode where Daenerys rides Drogon for the first time as she escapes the fighting pits of Meereen during the Sons of the Harpy attack.
