It wasn’t the most action-packed episode, but we did get to see Tyrion’s big beard and a fair amount of arse. SPOILERS, obviously.
In the opening credits, we notice that Winterfell is no longer burning.
Thank god. Seeing it on fire last season was so depressing.

The episode opens with a flashback that finds a young Cersei and a friend in a scary wood.
It takes a bit of time to realise that this opening bit is a flashback. At first you assume that they are both new characters.

We learn that she's there to find a witch so she can find out what the future has in store for her.
Cersei is told that she'll be queen "for a time", but that there will then be another queen who will "cast you down and take everything you hold dear".
Basically, the second queen is Margaery Tyrell, who married Cersei's son, Joffrey (RIP), last season. No wonder Cersei hates her.
We also learn that while the new King will go on to have 20 children, Cersei will only have three. Young Cersei looked confused at the revelation, but we all know the reason for that now, don't we?
