"Eastwatch" is the fifth episode of the seventh season of HBO's fantasy television series Game of Thrones, and the 65th overall. The episode was written for television by Dave Hill, and directed by Matt Shakman.

On the outskirts of King's Landing, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) forces the remaining Lannister and Tarly soldiers to swear fealty to her, but loyalists Randyll (James Faulkner) and Dickon Tarly (Tom Hopper) refuse, and are executed. Inside the city, Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) meets Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) in secret and requests an audience with Queen Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) to present evidence of the army of the dead. Meanwhile, Davos Seaworth (Liam Cunningham) retrieves Gendry (Joe Dempsie), and he, along with Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Jorah Mormont (Iain Glen) travel to Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, where they head beyond the Wall along with Tormund Giantsbane (Kristofer Hivju), Sandor Clegane (Rory McCann) and the Brotherhood Without Banners. In Winterfell, Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) follows Petyr Baelish (Aidan Gillen) and discovers a letter that Sansa wrote to her family, at the coercion of Cersei, requesting their fealty to King Joffrey. At the Citadel, Samwell Tarly (John Bradley) learns of a warning from Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright) about the impending arrival of the army of the dead at the Wall, and decides to abandon his training and head north.
