As the newly elected Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, he must find a way to unite his brothers and lead them in the fight against the White Walkers and the army of the dead. But as he tries to implement his plans, he realizes that his leadership will require him to make some difficult and unpopular decisions.

In the North, Sansa Stark continues to adjust to life as a captive of the Boltons.

Finally, Tyrion Lannister and Jorah Mormont continue on their journey to Meereen, but their progress is slowed by a series of obstacles. As they face the dangers of the wilderness and encounter unexpected allies and enemies, they are forced to confront their own weaknesses and fears.

As the season reaches its halfway point, "Kill the Boy" sets the stage for major conflicts and plot developments to come. With a focus on leadership, sacrifice, and the bonds of family, this episode showcases the strength and weaknesses of some of the show's most beloved (and reviled) characters.
