Never underestimate the power of honey trap, it's probably more effective than swinging a sword ever could, though it still attracts the piercing of different sword. Margaery enjoys the fruit of her smile and skin, she seems confident as she challenges Cersei with typical in-law banters, subliminally sending crass thoughts and insult of age. If this were a show of different genre, I'd expect the visual filter turns red as Cersei channels her malicious intent silently.

Jon Snow resides as Lord Commander, not the title he originally wanted or expected, but he must deal with a series of problem that come with the promotion. Stannis still irks him to join his cause and the incoming issue with the Wildlings must be settled soon. Another change in the North also happens as Sansa finally reaches her destination, it is definitely not what she had in mind, perhaps this one is worse for her to take.

Arya is now an apprentice of some sort in Braavos to become nobody. The whole process is very vague, so is the reward. It's unclear if she wants a skill or near supernatural presence, thought at this point any means to her end will be welcomed. This practice proves to be taxing for her, and the "wax on wax off" method certainly isn't telling anything. A nod for Brianne as she tells the story of her childhood to her squire, Gwendoline Christie delivers a private and convincing tale.

For a pariah on a strange land, Tyrion finds an equally bizarre allure of the people and place. Perhaps, the most surprising revelation is the change on himself. His time for reflection is short as he must use his silver tongue other than to channel liquor. It's certainly a good way to wrap up and built for incoming episode.
