Davos is almost back to Dragonstone and tells everyone on his good friend Salladhor Saan's ship, "I think I will cause problems on purpose." But — as everyone warns him — causing those kinds of problems is harder than he thinks.

We're on episode 107, hour 274 of our Battle of the Blackwater coverage, this time with Davos the Onion Knight. As he enters the mouth of the King's Landing beast, this onion finds himself raw for the battle before the fleet gets cooked.

The next step in a very long journey down the river has arrived!
Coram van Texel pays a visit to learn about the alethiometer and current events then gets paid another visit out on the street, ending in a scuffle. Malcolm also learns about the alethiometer while making the acquaintance of scholar Hannah Relf - but most importantly, Jesper.
Please note that unlike the His Dark Materials episodes, La Belle Sauvage episodes will be spoilers all with the exception of The Secret Commonwealth.

After doing the unthinkable in splitting a chapter to make two episodes, we follow Davos for another unthinkable moment: a baby shower. But it's not just any baby shower as watches a shadow in the shape of his king born while Davos feels himself die just a little on the inside.

Setting sail (again) with a new POV, this time it's the Onion Knight: Davos Seaworth. From the start, Davos's chapters set the tone for a story of sacrifice, faith, and the burning of old systems.
