Had he fallen overboard and drowned offscreen? Been abducted by mermaids? Rowed the wrong way and ended up in the Iron Islands, embracing life as a pirate? Established a floating clothing store in the sea, where Euron Greyjoy re-stocked his wardrobe between Seasons 6 and 7?Įven actor Joe Dempsie got in on the joke, periodically tweeting about “still rowin’” several seasons later.īut, at last, that question has been answered in “Eastwatch.” His rowing trip took him full circle, right back to where he started: working as a blacksmith in King’s Landing. In the ensuing four seasons, his absence has become a joke among the fans. He freed Gendry from the Dragonstone dungeon, led him out to the beach, put him in a row boat … and Gendry hadn’t been seen since. Post creepy sex magic, Melisandre and Stannis planned to kill Gendry, but ultimate Westeros wingman Davos did him a solid and rescued him. (Her interest was piqued because of his king’s blood, of course.) Melisandre then took him to Dragonstone - back when it was Stannis Baratheon’s domain - and conducted a weird sex magic experiment on him. The Brotherhood Without Banners immediately sold Gendry to Melisandre in exchange for gold. You know who always knew she was a girl? Gendry. He lived a humble life as a blacksmith in King’s Landing, but in Season 2 he left to join Yoren’s Night’s Watch recruits - a rag tag group that included Hot Pie and Arya Stark posing as a boy named Arry.Īrya’s reunion with Hot Pie in Season 7’s “Stormborn” was a callback to this, as Hot Pie mentioned that he should have known she was a girl. Gendry is Robert Baratheon’s bastard, as Ned Stark discovered in Season 1. So what in seven hells has he been doing this whole time? Let’s revisit his journey.

He just went on a really, really long rowing trip. He wasn’t presumed dead the way the Hound was, either.

Then, Game of Thrones seemed to forget he existed for four damn seasons. He was fairly prominent in Seasons 1 through 3. Gendry has finally come back from the longest rowing trip ever! Yes, Game of Thrones likes bringing back missing characters ( the Hound was MIA from the Season 4 finale until the middle of Season 6), but Gendry’s long absence and return is perhaps the most egregious example. Spoilers for the fifth episode of Game of Thrones Season 7 are below. In “Eastwatch,” the fifth episode of Game of Thrones Season 7, a long-lost character made his return several seasons after he rowed his way out of the show.
