He was stabbed by one of their ice swords, but before he could turn, he was healed by the Children of the Forest in the same way they made the Night King - by sticking dragonglass into his heart. Thought dead, Benjen actually encountered white walkers while on a mission. Once they're safe, he unbundles his face to reveal that he’s actually Benjen Stark (another correct prediction), the Night’s Watch ranger seen in the pilot and referred to on numerous occasions. And indeed he does, pulling the pair onto his horse for a speedy escape.
He may not have quite the firepower of the Children of the Forest’s magic grenades, but he gets the job done, allowing us to spend a bit more time inside the head of tranced-out Bran, who adds a vision of the Mad King and vivid green wildfire to his mental mixtape of Westeros’ greatest hits.Īfter last week's episode, fans surmised that Coldhands - whose sole function in the book is to escort Bran and company to the Three-Eyed Raven’s tree - might be used as the cavalry to escort the survivors back to the Wall.
This episode introduces a character that book-readers know as Coldhands, a dark rider who rescues Meera and Bran by smashing skeletons apart with a flaming mace. This week, Game of Thrones opened with a reprieve of sorts after last week’s heartbreaking ending, where it was revealed that Hodor’s ultimate purpose in life was to accomplish the same thing as a chair wedged under a doorknob.
