The latest episode of Game of Thrones, “Eastwatch” airs tonight on HBO. In anticipation, HBO has released a brief snippet from the episode. Minor SPOILERS follow.
The clip reveals that Queen Daenerys, still mounted on Drogon, has returned to Dragonstone after last week’s Loot Train Attack. Drogon’s injury in the battle does not appear to have prevented him from flying back to Dany’s ancestral home.
The duo come upon Jon Snow, and the King in the North has his closest encounter with the dragons thus far. Although he looks pretty rattled when a fire-breathing dragon gets right up in his face — as he should — Jon does not run. He might have to change his pants afterwards, though. We probably won’t see that scene.
Does Drogon bite Jon’s head off a half-second after this clip ends? Is this Daenerys’ latest technique to get him to bend the knee? Might Drogon be responding to Jon’s own Targaryen lineage? Some of these questions may be answered in tonight’s episode. Others might not be. We’re not psychics.
“Eastwatch” airs at 9:00 p.m. EST tonight! We’ll be covering it from head to toe.
