What We Think Will Happen on 'Game of Thrones' This Week

Andso his Watch has ended . For the first sentence since theGame of Thronespilot , Jon Snow is now once again mobilebelow the Wall , no longer restricted by his vow to the Night ’s Watch . time of year 6 is now well underway , and this week ’s episode , " Book of the Stranger , " looks to post formerly know - it - all ledger readers even further into uncharted territorial dominion .

As common , HBO ’s expectedly obtuse verbal description for Episode 4 ( " Tyrion strike a deal . Jorah and Daario take in charge a difficult chore . Jaime and Cersei attempt to better their situation . " ) has leave fans ruminate about what will pass off this Sunday . Armed with lagger clues , redact calls , social medium dung , and other evidence , I ’m going to take my upright guessing on how it might play out . I ’ll credibly be incorrect ! So , never fear , no literal spoilers here – just informed hypothesis .

Sansa, Brienne, and Podrick arrive at the Wall

Might we really get to see two Stark kid reunify this week ? perchance . The trailer shows Sansa , Brienne , and Podrick arriving at a white gate , which could be Castle Black ( although possibly not , given that Wun Wun kicked in its gate back in Episode 2 ) . And if Sansa and Jon do share scenes together , it wo n’t be under the good of fate , give all things Ramsay . But with luck , this will mark the commencement of the Starks encircle the wagons – a metre for wolves , we assure you ! ( Well , not Shaggydog . RIP . )

The worst - case scenario is that the two narrowly omit each other , as Jon seemed to have left the Wall and storm out of Castle Black last episode . There ’s precedent there : the last time Sansa came close to reunite with a Stark sibling was at the closing of Season 4 , when Arya made it to the Eyrie with the Hound but was ferment off .

Littlefinger’s back

Par for the course , Petyr Baelish is n’t anywhere nigh where we last saw him , which was conspiring with Olenna in his pillage King ’s shore brothel . As seen in the house trailer , the aspiring Warden of the North is back in the Vale chatting with a falcon - tend Robert Arryn and a highly unamused Yohn Royce , and they ’ve apparently hear of Sansa ’s fate .

Could undervalue the Boltons be the first liberal " whoopsie - daisy " of Littlefinger ’s conniving career , or is Sansa ultimately unimportant in his master program ? As Baelish tries to rally the Vale to his cause , we can probably look for another United States Army to shortly conjoin the clusterf*ck that is Winterfell and the northerly battle these 24-hour interval .

Theon returns to the Iron Islands

Theon absconding midway to the Wall and simply adopt Sansa would be dependable with Pod and Brienne there felt like a plot of ground dodge – and it was – but it was done so as to get him back to the Iron Islands where sister Yara appear to be less than thrilled to see him again . That ’s understandable , given that the last time she chance her life to rescue him , a traumatized Theon opted to stay put in Ramsay ’s dog house while bloodhounds chamfer her away . The siblings will have to put their grievances aside before long , thanks to the at hand kingsmoot and the comeback of their dastardly uncle Euron Greyjoy .

The Tyrells are still in jail

We might forget that Margaery and Loras Tyrell have been in gaol for a really , really long time at this point . The two were imprisoned by the Faith Militant before Cersei was and have yet to be released . ( Perpetually sulk King Tommen has n’t been able to do much of anything to free his married woman . ) The episode promo reveals that the lengthy confinement has taken its bell on Loras – but with Cersei and Olenna conspiring to absolve them , it looks like the siblings could get their walking paper soon . Now , whether both siblings or only Margaery makes it out – and at what cost – is anyone ’s guesswork , but it ’s looking increasingly like that whatever Cersei ’s up to might havesomethingto do withCleganebowl .

Tyrion hosts Essos' version of the G8 summit

As we learned last episode , the Sons of the Harpy are n’t street hood but a well - funded militia that incur its resources from a junto of slave masters from Astapor , Yunkai , and Volantis . While Missandei surprisingly advertize for fleet and violent reprisals , the diplomatic Tyrion instead choose to take in representatives of these cities to Meereen in hopes of doing what he does best – charming drunken repartee .

Daenerys goes on a rescue mission

There has n’t been a lot of surprisal to Dany ’s story – yet – this time of year . She was captured by Dothraki , contract to their city where she haughtily recited her many self - given titles , and now awaits her own test for being an absentee widow woman these retiring few years . ( This show has had aLaw & Order : SVUamount of courtroom scenes these past two time of year . )

It has n’t been the show ’s most active plot line considering she has two consecrate warrior making their way to deliver her , is literally fireproof herself , and is mother to a violent dragon discover Drogo , presumptively roaming the skies look for his needy mama instead of hanging out at the mall with the other teen dragons . If you expect Daenerys to dramatically turn out to the social occasion and subsequently garner the Dothraki ’s allegiance as she is wo nt to do , we carry you might be correct on the money . It ’s what she does after that that has our stake .
