The show just faced a series low :( We need to keep watching and spreading the word about it, otherwise it faces the risk of being cancelled. It is so good this season and finally found its footing this and last year. There is also so much more they have not included. It'd be great if it could just get to its initially planned 7th season, then we'll see where it goes from there.

Its not just one weekend though. The episode "The Bear and the Bow" from a month ago was their lowest rated of the whole series and throughout this season it has been going downhill leading up to that episode and apparently back down again with this episode. As I have learned many times throughout my life, we cannot ever assume anything, even if it may seem normal and not such a big deal.
