I think the term is a “bottle episode”. Compared to the first two episodes with multiple sets, dozens of extras, and extensive make up and effects, this had one set, minimal effects, and would have reduced the schedule by filming in parallel with the main cast. Nothing wrong with this approach and HBO obviously didn’t skimp on the set design.
