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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Of less prominence in the trailer, but still important, are Varys and Theon.
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.
In short – IT’S GOING TO BE EPIC and I can’t wait.
