Each episode of GoT is source of emotions. Different, in clashes, ambiguous, powerfull. But in this case , the emotions are , in a form, adaptations of Shakespeare tragedies, from the walk of Cersei to the fall of Jon Snow, to the defeat of Stannis or the justice of Brienne of Tarth or the death of Myrcella or the Dothraki captivity as return in the womb of the past . The way of Samwel to a new beginning is the basic source of hope. Because the film gives more than the shock of the last scene - example of high cinematography- but the pledge for the necessity of revenge as right use of justice. Basis for new serie, it is the key for acceptence and fury.
Stannis Baratheon finds that his wife has committed suicide and Melisandre leaves the group. Then he marches to Winterfell, but his army is surprised by the Bolton's men. Meanwhile Theon helps Sansa and they try to flee from Winterfell. Arya disguises to kill Meryn Trant and Jaqen H'ghar tells that she is not ready yet. Daenerys is missing with Dragon and Daario and Jorah ride together to find her. Meanwhile she is surrounded by a group of riders. Myrcella is kissed by Ellaria before leaving Dome with Jaime. Cersei confesses her sins to the High Sparrow and is humiliated while returning to the castle. Sam asks Jon Snow to be the next maester at the Oldtown. Then Olly tells Jon that his uncle Benjen is alive and waiting for him on the yard and Jon has a surprise.
"Mother's Mercy" is a bloody and violent episode of Game of Thrones. Stannis sees his world falling apart after the murder of his own daughter. I look forward to see the fate of Melisandre when Davos discovers what she did to Shireen. Theon finally reacts and helps Sansa. The segment with Arya is boring and pointless. The segment with Daenerys is only reasonable. The fate of Myrcella was predictable after the kiss of Ellaria. The humiliation of Cersei is the best moment of this show, and Lena Headey has an amazing performance. I am looking forward to see her revenge. The betrayal of the Night Watch is the most impressive moment of this show. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Mother's Mercy"
This might be the episode where the most things actually happen. The 9.1 rating as of now doesn't really make any sense to me. As of where I am now in the show (end of season 6) the only episode that comes close to this level of underratedness would be watchers on the wall (season 4 episode 9). This is probably in my top 5 episodes off the top of my head so far
Mother's Mercy isn't as excellent as the last two, but it's a great cliffhanger that would solve all the questions in Season 6. Would Arya forget her name and become a nameless face? Will Jon Snow return from the grave after his death? Will Sansa and Reek find another way to escape the clutches of Ramsay Bolton? All of the questions will be answered in Season 6. For now, the performances are still great, the story/script is still well-written, the pacing, while a bit rushed, is fine for the most part, the directing is superb, the music score is still beautiful in it's atmosphere, the sets are lavish, the costumes are neat, the scenery is still gorgeous to look at, and the editing is sharper. So, overall, another great episode and a solid cliffhanger to Season 6.

- TriviaHBO initially ran into difficulties shooting Cersei's walk of penance because Dubrovnik's Catholic Church of St. Nicholas, which stands in for the Great Sept of Baelor, refused to allow filming of nudity on their grounds. They relented for the nude walk through the streets of Dubrovnik as long as it would not cross onto holy ground, so the crew eventually built facades of the interior and exterior of the church for the scene.
- GoofsWhen Theon kills Myranda and he and Sansa escape Winterfell, Sansa's gloves disappear in several shots only for them to appear again seconds later, although it is a fast-paced scene with no intervals.
