Marcus Rutherford also teases what to expect from the season finale and beyond.
A battle has found its way once more to the peaceful town of Two Rivers.
And what a battle it is.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: This battle really stands out this season, and across the show as a whole.
MARCUS RUTHERFORD:I knew it was a massive moment in the books.
And I think he understood that.
And then we really choreographed lots of action and lots of one-takes with the camera dude.
So it was probably the most choreographed and planned stunt episode that I’ve been involved in.
Was that emotional for you and Hammed filming what would be your last scene together?
I think sometimes I don’t think people realize what he’s always doing.
It was a really lovely scene.
It was really sad.

And then there’s his voiceover, which, I’ll be honest, gutted me.
And I think that’s what kind of sent me.
And there’s something sacrificial and similar to Perrin in a way.

Let’s talk about Perrin’s decision to then surrender to the Whitecloaks.
What’s the significance of that moment for the character?
And I don’t think it is as simple as light, dark, good, bad.
And I think that’s what’s really refreshing about that relationship.
And I think he feels like that’s the only way to end it really.
There’s some things from the books.
There’s big culminating moments and big visual moments that are just stunning really for all of the characters.
Where would you like to see Perrin’s journey go from here?
What aspects of the character are you hoping to explore more?
I feel like the relationship with Faile is only really starting, and in such a short window.
I just absolutely loved working with Isabella.
I know in the books she actually gets taken captive, and there’s Perrin trying to rescue her.
So the fact that Perrin’s captive here is a really interesting dynamic, and how that would develop.
And it’d be lovely to see more like Saldaea culture, where she’s from.
