This post contains spoilers for Game Of Thrones Season 7 Episode 5 “Eastwatch”.

Game Of Thrones introduced some intriguing developments about Jon Snow’s parentage, assembled a squad, announced a pregnancy (that may not be real), and more in Sunday night’s episode, “Eastwatch” (our review here). Though it may not have had as much dragon death from above this week, it was still an entertaining episode, and — as usual — Twitter lit up with plenty of jokes.

And Gendry, whom we knew would be showing (rowing?) up soon, finally returned. Davos made the joke we’ve all made, Gendry made a hammer, and Jon and Gendry may have made friends.

And it wasn’t just Jon and Gendry teaming up. They brought together a whole posse to go wrangle up a zombie:

But not everyone took the side of this Suicide Squad:

All in all, quite the episode:
