The Important Details You Need To Remember For The “Game Of Thrones” Finale

But back to Brienne – there’s another potential reunion for her that will be very interesting to see. Although he’s not in the episode trailer, we know the Hound was headed to King’s Landing with the crew and the captured wight at the end of the last episode, and there was a shot in the season trailer that looked a lot like him in this location.


 

Brienne and the Hound last saw each other when they were fighting to the death over the safety of Arya.

Brienne beat the Hound, but Arya ran away from both of them. With Arya now safe at Winterfell, and Brienne and the Hound both fighting on the same side, it'd be great to see these two warriors interact on friendlier terms (as friendly as the Hound gets, anyway). Especially since both of their journeys have been largely defined by their relationships with the Stark sisters.

As for the Hound, this will be his first time in King’s Landing since he fled the Battle of the Blackwater way back in Season 2.

He used to fight for the Lannisters, and now he'll be appearing against them.

Meanwhile, if the Mountain is by Cersei’s side, as he always is these days, it will be the first time the Clegane brothers have come face-to-face since Season 1.

CLEGANEBOWL GET HYPE!!!!If you're wondering what the hell Cleganebowl is – it's the fandom name for the anticipated fight to the death between the Hound and the Mountain. We saw the brothers briefly face-off in Season 1, and people have been thirsting for a proper duel for years. Especially given the history between the brothers – starting with the fact that the Mountain brutally shoved his little brother into the fire when they were children. It would be so, so sweet to see the Hound finally get his revenge. Hopefully in the next episode.

Over to a more potentially touching reunion – both Missandei and Grey Worm will be in the capital, so there’s a good chance we’ll get a scene with the two of them.

Grey Worm and the Unsullied apparently made the trek from Casterly Rock to King’s Landing unscathed. Did they abandon the Lannister seat altogether, or leave a small crew there? Honestly what was the point of that whole plot?Anyway, at least Grey Worm is alive, and Missandei will see him again.

Joining the Unsullied are the Dothraki, in a pretty epic show of force around King’s Landing.

It recalls Robert Baratheon’s panic over the Dothraki back in Season 1. His warning to Cersei over the power of a united army perfectly describes Dany’s situation right now.

It should definitely be cause for concern for Cersei.

Of less prominence in the trailer, but still important, are Varys and Theon.

Like so many others, Varys hasn't returned to King's Landing since he escaped, after helping Tyrion flee in Season 4. Cersei will probably have some cutting words for him.

Theon, meanwhile, has never been to King’s Landing. His presence at this meeting, and the fact that Euron is allied with Cersei, suggests we’ll get some kind of Greyjoy reunion in the episode, too. We still have no idea what happened to Yara after Euron captured her, so it should play out in the finale. But judging from this shot of Theon collapsing at Dragonstone later in the trailer, it’s probably not going to be good news.

Conspicuously absent from all of this is Daenerys herself – but with literally all of her allies there, there’s no way she won’t show up. It seems likely she’ll make a grand entrance.

And Jaime will get to relive that time three episodes ago when he nearly got torched by a dragon.

 In short – IT’S GOING TO BE EPIC and I can’t wait.

But what the hell are we going to do when the season is over?!!
