The Biggest Moments from Game of Thrones Season 6, Episode 7 [SPOILERS]

Jon Snow is doing his best to build an army to take on the Boltons and reclaim Winterfell under the Stark banner. While the bulk of the episode revolved around Jon and Sansa's journey, this week was all about the return of a character.

Warning: Spoilers are coming.

The Hound is back. Apparently, he never died. While viewers were led to believe that he met his end when Brienne and Podrick came to Arya's rescue, which resulted in a fight to the end, The Hound survived. Before the opening credits rolled this week, we saw a man named Ray and some other people building a tower. It's quickly revealed that one of the people helping is The Hound, Sandor Clegane. He's no longer in his armor. He's "The Broken Man."

As the episode continues, Ray explains he used to be a thief, killer, or whatever anyone needed him to be. Sandor opens up a little bit about the fact he's been bested by someone else. Ray knows the stories about The Hound, but Sandor reminds Ray that he doesn't truly know him. Sandor becomes part of that society, helping out when needed. Three men on horseback approach the group later and want either horses or food. Ray says they don't have anything to offer. Later, while the Sandor is chopping wood, he hears screams. He returns to the camp to see everyone slaughtered. Sandor grabs an axe and walks off.

It seemed like Ray was reaching Sandor. He had a purpose again. While Ray and Sandor did not agree with how to deal with the men on horseback making demands all while claiming to be "protectors," it seemed as though Sandor found someone to look up to and someone he could follow and trust. Now that everyone in the group, including Ray, is dead, we can expect Sandor to seek some revenge.

Other notable moments:

• Queen Margaery seems fully on board with High Sparrow. She goes to see her grandmother, Lady Olenna and secretly hands her a note. It's a drawing of a flower, which is the Tyrell's sigil.
• Jon Snow continues his quest to put together an army to take on the Boltons at Winterfell. He recruits Wildlings in the north, heads to Bear Island to talk to the young Lady Lyanna Mormont, who eventually offers 62 men. Sansa and Jon then go to see Lord Glover, who wants nothing to do with the Starks. He eventually says, "House Stark is dead."
• Jaime Lannister heads to Riverrun to help the Freys retake their castle, which Brynden “Blackfish” Tully has captured. Lannister takes command and parleys with Tully, to which Blackfish says that he was born there and he will die there.
• Arya books passage home for the next day. However, she is approached by an old woman, who turns out to be the woman Arya has been battling at The House of Black and White. The woman stabs Arya multiple times in the stomach and tosses her into the water. Arya makes it out alive, but she's bleeding badly.
