Game Of Thrones Recap: S6E5 ‘The Door’

The Dothraki Sea: Dany, Jorah & Daario

From a ledge overlooking her newly-acquired Dothraki horde, Dany must deal with the matter of Jorah. While the truth-challenged ex-knight might have tried to keep his greyscale infection from her, the secret was out when Daario glimpsed it last week. Thankfully, we were instead treated to a dignified scene where Jorah admits it to her and she has a very emotional reaction to her twice-banished friend’s decision to leave for good. Despite his fatalism, she gives him one last command: to find a cure, wherever it exists, and return to her side in Westeros.

The whole scene is very touching; this is a relationship as old as the show itself. Now the obvious: what’s next? In the books, a different character (adapted out of the show) occupies Jorah’s role as greyscale infectee, and that dude is currently in Westeros. So I surmise that greyscale and Westeros are intended to meet at some point. Would Jorah risk a journey home even if he can’t find a cure? Now that he is separated from Dany, he’s a wild card to watch out for.
