Following on from Game of Thrones 7×04 The Spoils of War and the questions it left us with, we have the official preview images from 7×05 Eastwatch below.
And we haven't even gotten to the fact Daenerys and Jon seem to have a romantic connection.
It must be Wednesday, because HBO has released a new batch of glossy, official photos from the next episode of Game of Thrones: "Eastwatch".
One of the more disturbing elements of the book suggested that Arya Stark (played by Maisie Williams), Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage). Fresh from battle from the last episode, Dany gives them a proposition.
In GoT S7E4, Tyrion Lannister advised Daenerys Targaryen to try and find an alternative to war and win the Iron Throne. She says that she doesn't want to take lives, but if they refuse to bend the knee she will be forced to attack with her dragons and armies. Like us, we're sure he's keen to know if his brother Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) survived.
Lord Varys is pictured seated at the Dragonstone table that features a map of Westeros, indicating that the Targaryean forces will once again be strategizing about how and where to carry out their next invasion.
Dany is appearing to be quite confident in this shot while Tyrion appears to be keeping quiet so to not upset the Mother of Dragons because she's clearly in charge now and stubborn as ever and now that she's got a taste of battle, she could tap into her father's leadership style.
And finally, we have one haunting shot of Cersei sitting on the edge of her bed in King's Landing, contemplating whatever it is insane people contemplate in the morning. So it may be that she could turn to the Golden Company. We also know that Tormund Giantsbane was sent to lead an army to that castle, back in the first episode of the season.
Check out the teaser for the fifth episode below and don't forget to watch it on Sunday, August 13th.
