"Game of Thrones" Season 4 Finale Episode: Children of the Damned aired Sunday, June 15.
The season opened with Jon Snow trekking to the North in search for Mance Rayder. As the two encountered, Rayder ordered Snow to surrender and the Night's Watch will be spared. Surprisingly, assaults arose and Stannis came. He's indeed kingly with that move. Stannis has brought his full squad with him including the Red cloaked priestess, Melisandre.
"You're not dressed for this weather," Mance said sarcastically. With Snow mockingly asked the Baratheon to be merciful, Rayder's good graces altered.
During the past episodes, the Mountain, we thought was dead. But on this episode, the Mountain was still alive. Pycell said there's no cure for the Mountain, but Cersei has her spirits high on saving him by her new young medico, Qyburn.
On the other hand, Cersei has saved Tyrion from his death sentence ordered by their father, Tywin. The Lady Lannister declined to marry Loras and she refused to go to the High Garden and be away from her son, Tommen.
"I will burn the house to the ground before I let that happen," Cersei spoke as she walks towards Jaime. "I choose you [over Loras]. I love my brother," Lady Lannister said confirming her incestuous affair with her brother.
Meanwhile, Mother of Dragons Daenerys discovered one of her dragons ingesting a young little girl. So she decided to chain her dragons. Later on, Lady Targaryen's largest dragon Drogon was nowhere to be found.
On the way North, Bran and the Reeds have seen an undead re-animated corpse while they were trekking. These undead are called White Walkers - zombie-like creatures from the North. Always, the Wildlings burn the dead to avoid turning it into these. The squad was on a wights ambush. Thereafter, Jojen, having a vision of death earlier the battle, encountered a demise. Later on, they were rescued by the fire-flinging Children of the Forest.
According to Game of Thrones Wikia, "The Children" were thought to be extinct after the Wildlings attacked them. Long ago, they taught the teachings of the Old Gods.
Meanwhile at the Riverlands, Arya met Brienne of Tarth. As Brienne becoming the role model for the Stark girl, she wanted to save her from the Hound. A brutal battle occurred.
"Remember where the heart is," the Hound told Arya. He begged Arya to kill him, but Arya took his silver and left with Brienne.
Meanwhile, Tyrion Lannister was planning on how to escape in the midst of being imprisoned by his father. Earlier this season, the imp tried to persuade his brotherJaime to help him. With no hesitations, Jaime assisted his brother to the passageways of King's Landing. Tyrion gave Jaime a brotherly hug and thanked after. He then carried a crossbow.
Tyrion went down a hall and entered a chamber which wasn't seen on GoT before. There, Tywin was pointing the bow at his father, aiming for vengeance. Tywin confesses he didn't intend to order his son's death sentence.
"I am your son. I've always been your son," Tyrion said as he killed his father.
From the past seasons, Tyrion had no real friends. He has treated no family for everybody hates him and he thought he's a disgrace to King's Landing.
Meanwhile, Arya left Westeros ridden on a ship. She gave the captain the silver coin given to her by Jaqen H'gar, a faceless criminal, and spoke: "Valar Morghulis", a High Valyrian words meant as "All Men Must Die".
