In the latest episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the story reaches a big moment with the Trial of Seven. The main character, Dunk, is fighting after defending a puppeteer from Aerion Targaryen, a powerful figure. With help from his squire, Egg, Dunk gathers a team of seven to face his unknown fate in battle.
Much of the action happens in the fighting ring, where violence is accepted in Westeros. This makes it hard to decide who is truly to blame for any wrongdoing. During the fight, Dunk loses consciousness after being injured. This gives the writers a chance to show Dunk’s early life in Flea Bottom, bringing new ideas about who might be the worst person in Westeros this week.
In a flashback, a younger Dunk, alongside his friend Rafe, steals from the dead on a battlefield. Dunk tries to end the suffering of a wounded soldier, but Rafe stops him, suggesting they could ransom him instead. This scene raises the question: Is Rafe the worst person for putting the soldier through more pain?
As the episode continues, a City Watchman named Alester stands out for his cruel actions, making him a strong candidate for the title of worst person in Westeros. His brutal behaviour hurts two children, leading to a shocking and tragic moment for Dunk. The episode leaves viewers debating who the true villains are.
