Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow...
Despite not quite knowing why Moat Cailin was featured on the episode at all ('twas in the opening credits, there was a big establishing shot at one point, and then nothing happened there), "High Sparrow" was a strong episode that helped shape and twist the show's huge sprawling story back to the first two seasons. Oh, and it gave us a wedding that actually ended in a happy consummation night (at least for one of the participants)! Lest you thought that was an impossibility in Westeros at this point.
But yeah - the North still remembers!
