The second episode brought us only Winterfell. The first battle is coming up in the next episode, and all the things we can think of will finally be resolved.
Lady Brien becomes a knight, Daenerys learns the truth about her friend, and many things happen that put people in clear positions that are already final before the attack. Now all they have to do is die."
After the first episode, the second episode plunged us into Winterfell for an hour, the important characters' pre-battle dialogue making sense and honestly reckoning with the fact that they might die.
Thanks to the writers for delaying the series' airing until later this year, it's very much evident that they really took care with every word to finish the final season perfectly.
It's not just the dialogue, but the overall atmosphere of the piece, the possible end is approaching and everyone wants to sort out their problems before they die and tell each other everything that must not be forgotten.
Bondages like Daenerys - Jon, Jaime - Brienne and many more will end their journey towards the final battle. We learn nothing new, only the first battle against the undead and the Winter King.
Another perfect episode.
