Will We Get Our Lady Stoneheart? (SPOILERS)
MASSIVE SPOILERS AHEAD FOR SEASON 5 OF GAME OF THRONES AND CORRESPONDING NOVELS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Since the conclusion of Season 4, Game of Thrones fans have been left wondering if Lady Stoneheart would eventually make her appearance in the critically acclaimed HBO series, or be omitted from the television adaptation of George R.R. Martin's fantasy epic.
With only two episodes left this season, the thought of introducing the character seemed unlikely … that is, until the season finale title was revealed. To fans of the series, episode names and finale titles are incredibly important when it comes to deciphering the context of each episode and can be quite revealing. Especially to those who have read the novels and have somewhat of a grasp as to what may be coming down the pipeline.
The Season 5 finale, entitled “Mother’s Mercy," will debut June 14th at 9pm EST on HBO, and although the title could hold multiple meanings, I, like many others, am holding out hope. Some could argue that the episode title simply refers to the option presented to the currently imprisoned Cersei Lannister, where she ultimately throws herself to the “mercy” of the gods to receive whatever punishment they see fit. Which (SPOILER), in this particular case, is walking through the streets of King’s Landing completely nude; her shame on display for all to see.
However, readers who pay close attention may notice that “Mother Mercy” is also an alias given to Lady Stoneheart, (SPOILER) the reincarnated zombified Catelyn Stark, in the appendix within the pages of A Feast For Crows. So, the question remains … will we get our Lady Stoneheart?
