Lady Crane Braavos play Game of Thrones Warning: There are spoilers ahead if you have not watched Sunday's episode of "Game of Thrones."

The eighth episode of "Game of Thrones" was a bloody and brutal hour, with epic chase scenes and a tense showdown in King's Landing. 

As usual, the showrunners slipped in references and throwback lines that may have gone unnoticed by some fans. We've got you covered, though.

Scroll down for a look at the six things you probably missed.

Tyrion has told that joke about a jackal and honeycomb before.

In Sunday's episode, Tyrion began to tell Missandei and Greyworm a joke. He starts saying: "I once walked into a brothel with a honeycomb and a jack-_-. The madame says — " and then Tyrion is cut off by the arrival of the Sons of the Harpy.

This isn't the first time Tyrion was interrupted while telling that story.



Back in season one, Tyrion said the same opening line.

When Tyrion was captured by Catelyn Tully for the attempted murder of Bran, he was taken to the Eyrie. There he was forced to confess his crimes. But instead of talking about Bran, Tyrion chose to admit to silly instances of pranks he pulled as a child. The last thing he says, before getting cut off by Lysa Arryn, was: "I once brought a jacka-- and a honeycomb into a brothel."

If you're wondering what Tyrion's second joke of the episode was all about (flies? ale?), Phil Owen at The Wrap has an explanation.



Jaime also repeated an iconic line from the first season.

When speaking with Edmure Tully in his tent, Jaime explained how he admired Catelyn Stark when she was alive. He compared Catelyn's love for her children to Cersei's fierce protectiveness of her kids. "They'd do anything to protect their babies," Jaime said. "Start a war. Burn cities to ash. Free their worst enemies ... The things we do for love."

Does that sound familiar? It should ...
