Jon meets with Dany, who requests fresh oaths (drink) of fealty in line with those Torrhen Stark swore to Aegon the Conqueror; Jon refuses, citing the Mad King's murders of his grandfather and uncle. Dany acknowledges her father's evil and asks for Jon's forgiveness, and both agree not to hold the other responsible for the actions of their ancestors. Dany is determined to rule the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, and claims to have the forces necessary to do so peacefully or otherwise. Jon doesn't contradict her, instead presenting the White Walkers as a much greater threat facing them all. As the conversation begins to stall, Varys's appearance leads Dany to dismiss Jon and Davos, "not yet" as prisoners. Varys informs Dany of the loss of the Greyjoy fleet.

Later, Tyrion finds Jon brooding on the cliffs and promises to keep working towards a resolution. He encourages Dany to offer Jon something to begin building a relationship. She agrees, though still reluctant to acknowledge the existence of White Walkers, and informs Jon he can begin mining the dragonglass.

Dany's advisors talk her out of using her dragons to find Euron and burn his fleet, considering it too risky. Instead, they'll use Tyrion's intimate knowledge of Casterly Rock's sewer system and the secret passages he saw built to strike at the ancestral home of the Lannisters.
