One of the final shots before the screen goes black is of Daenerys staring out at a foggy ocean. The Mother of Dragons has finally reached her true home of Dragonstone, and it’s possible she just wants to spend a little more time in the place of her ancestors before heading off to war. “We should hit King’s Landing now.”īut what compels Yara to say this? Is Daenerys proposing to stay the attack on Westeros? And if so, why? Perhaps the answer could lie in their location. “We have an army of fleets and three dragons,” Yara tells Daenerys at what appears to be a small council at Dragonstone. Yara Greyjoy is eager to bring the fight to Cersei’s doorstep. The Lannisters are outnumbered and surrounded by enemies on every side, and as Littlefinger once so aptly said, “Chaos is a ladder.” Yara is ready to fight It’s also unusual how relaxed Cersei looks given the topic, but maybe the destruction of the realms is exactly what she wants.
Cersei’s ominous messageĪs Cersei sits atop her Iron Throne, she cooly remarks, “the Mad King’s daughter will destroy the realms.” Clearly she’s referring to Daenerys here, but it’s unclear how this destruction will come about. Does Daenerys reach out to Jon for an alliance, or is it the other way around? A partnership between the two wouldn’t be that unusual given Jon’s Targaryen heritage, which was revealed by HBO shortly after the season six finale. In the halls of Winterfell, one of the lords proclaims that “a Targaryen cannot be trusted.” Jon Snow looks pensive, as always, and the audience is left wondering what this remark is in response to.
The teaser was incredibly short but still managed to squeeze in some interesting clips featuring Cersei, Daenerys, Ellaria Sand, Yara Greyjoy and even Ghost.Īs Daenerys so aptly says, shall we begin? Strife at Winterfell It was an exciting beginning to a much-anticipated return, but the preview for episode two looks plenty exciting, too. Arya wears the face of Walder Frey and decimates the entire Frey clan Daenerys Targaryen continues plotting her war against Cersei Lannister Jon Snow is still trying to convince all of the lords to fight together against the White Walkers and poor Samwell Tarly is still toiling away at the Citadel.
