All the biggest moments from 'Game of Thrones' season 7 episode 2

Get the Full StoryHelen Sloan HBOWarning: Huge very huge spoilers for "Game of Thrones" season seven, episode two. If you aren't caught up on the series, read at your own risk.

After what felt like the longest seven days in history, season two episode seven of "Game of Thrones," titled "Stormborn," finally came on TV.

The majority of this episode felt similar to the season premiere: catching up with characters, and seeing the story mechanics that will bring everyone closer together as the series moves toward the end. But then it ended with an unexpected battle, as Euron attacked his niece's fleet at sea.

Storms and trust or lack thereof were big themes this week. No one seems to trust anyone, which is a pretty smart way to live in Westeros. But it's also frustrating for the audience, because we want some of these people to just get along.

There's a lot to remember — between Sansa ruling the North and Grey Worm going all the way with Missandei — so we highlighted the episodes biggest moments.

Here's our recap of season 7 episode 2 of "Game of Thrones:"Daenerys doesn't trust Varys. And Melisandre wants her to team up with Jon Snow.

Daenerys doesn't feel at home in Dragonstone, even though it's her ancestral home. And for the first time, she addresses her distrust of Varys. This is actually coming from a solid place, and it's surprising she didn't bring it up when he came to Meereen. Varys betrayed her father, and then served as Master of Spies for Robert Baratheon. While doing that he, betrayed Robert as well. And he also helped facilitate the attempt on her life, with the help of Ser Jorah Mormont.

Daenerys tells Varys that she doesn't know she can trust someone when she doesn't know where their loyalties lie. But Varys smartly responds by telling her about his background. He is not from a noble house. Like Missandei and Grey Worm, he was a slave, so he cares about the good of the people in Westeros — not just the lords. This worked on Daenerys, and then Melisandre showed up to tell her that she should team up with Jon Snow, who can definitely use her help defeating what's coming from the North.

Jaime doesn't trust Cersei, or believe in the Lannister army and he goes behind her back in a meeting with Randyll Tarly.

Randyll Tarly Samwell Tarly's dad, who we met in season six is summoned to King's Landing to see Queen Cersei. She asks him for his allegiance to the Iron Throne. Tarly is fiercely loyal to the Tyrell family, but Jaime takes him aside and offers him a position as the ranking general in his Lannister army.

This scene proved that Jaime doesn't trust Cersei. She's literally a mass murderer, so lords of Westeros aren't likely to ally with her. At this point, anyone can be killed no matter what they do for her. Jaime also doesn't believe his army is strong enough, and needs all the help he can get.

The North doesn't trust Tyrion Lannister or Daenerys Targaryen, and with good reason.

HBO

As viewers, we know we can trust Tyrion Lannister and Daenerys Targaryen. So far on the series, Tyrion has been kind to any of the Starks who cross his path. And in general, he treats people with kindness, unless they've done him wrong.

And Daenerys hasn't shown her father's madness. Though some theorize that it's in there, we've seen a strong, brave, and confident leader who cares about her people.

But the people in the North haven't seen the good sides of these people. They hear stories, and they associate them with the people they're related to. The people of the North don't have enough knowledge of Tyrion and Dany to fully trust Jon and Davos's mission to ally with the young queen. But Jon's doing it anyway, because the White Walkers are coming, and they can't defend themselves alone.
