Why This Matters
After building up the last couple of episodes, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms finally reveals the Trial of Seven on screen in Episode 5. After Aerion ( Finn Bennett ) is attacked by Dunk ( Peter Claffey ) at the end of Episode 3 , and Egg ( Dexter Sol Ansell ) reveals his true identity to his companion, tensions have been high. Refusing a one-on-one match against Dunk, Aerion instead calls for a Trial of Seven to settle their problems.
The entertainment world moves fast, and this is a prime example.
The Bottom Line
Refusing a one-on-one match against Dunk, Aerion instead calls for a Trial of Seven to settle their problems.
