In the Dragon Pit
The entire group of outsiders enter the dragon pit and Bronn motions them toward a set of tents. Tyrion looks around at the soldiers guarding it. Everyone looks skeptical. Bronn invites Pod to leave with him to get a drink while everyone else talks.
Cersei enters the pit with Qyburn, Jaime, The Mountain, and Euron. The Hound approaches The Mountain and addresses him. He tells The Mountain, "you know who's coming for you. You've always known."
Tyrion tells Cersei that Daenerys will be there soon. Not long after, Dany rides in on the back of Drogon while everyone in the pit watches. As she dismounts, Drogon flies away. Dany takes her seat next to Tyrion.
Tyrion is the first to speak, but he's interrupted by Euron who threatens Theon. He says that he has Yara and he will kill her. Euron then threatens Tyrion before Cersei and Jaime make him sit back down.
Jon Snow and Tyrion then talk with Cersei about the army of the dead and why they have to work together. She doesn't take it seriously. Dany says that she won't be attacking until the Night King is dealt with.
The Hound brings in the box that contains the wight. He opens it up and the wight charges at Cersei. When it's about to get to her the hound pulls it back by a chain then cuts it in half. The two halves of the creature still try to attack. Qyburn picks up the wight's still-moving hand and Jon Snow shows that only fire and dragonglass are the only things that will stop them.
He tells Cersei that The Great War is here, and that it's the only war that matters. Dany says that she didn't believe it either but she saw the entire army. 100,000 undead soldiers.
Euron asks if they can swim and Jon says no. Euron then says he's taking his fleet back to the Iron Islands. Cersei says that he's a coward as he leaves. She then accepts the truce and says that she will allow Jon Snow to be King in the North if he stays out of the fight with her and Dany. Jon Snow declines the offer, saying he cannot serve two queens. He has already pledged himself to Dany and won't back down from that promise. Cersei then pulls her truce and leaves.
Brienne then tries to convince Jaime to talk to Cersei and convince her to reconsider.
Dany says that she's grateful for Jon Snow standing by her side but everyone agrees that he should have lied. He says he will not make an oath that he can't live up to. Tyrion says that he's going to talk to Cersei.
