The sixth episode of Game of Thrones is titled the 'Blood of my blood', a Dothraki phrase used by khals and their bloodriders to address each other.
Since all the Khals are dead, Daenerys leaves Vaes Dothrak behind as the most powerful Khaleesi. To Mereen first, but Westeros after that?
In Braavos, Arya is watching the play again and the only one laughing in this scene.
This is probably because the play is re-enacting the death of Joffrey.
Arya's difficult choice in this episode is probably about whether or not to she will kill Lady Crane. How badly does Arya want to be A Girl?
The old foe returning to the scene is expected to be Walder Frey, the man who orchestrated the Red Wedding with the Boltons. This will tie in with Sansa's uncle Brynden Tully taking back Riverrun from the Freys, as reported by Littlefinger.
The focus of the episode, though, will be King's Landing where the ground has been laid for a confrontation between the Lannisters and the Faith Militant.
The photos show Margaery being brought out before the public to atone for her sins with a walk of shame.
Note the 'shame' bell in Septa Unella's hand.
Chances of repeating the walk of shame seem slim. There are various theories on how this will play out. That the High Sparrow will let Margaery go because she's converted to the faith. That Margaery sacrifices Loras to buy her own freedom.
You see in the teaser that the Lannisters are furious with Margaery for destroying their family, but they also bring an army to the Sept's doorstep to demand her release. This Reddit user has pretty detailed theory on what their game plan might be here.
One thing that stands out in the midst of all this is that while the meeting plays out on the steps of the Sept, Tommen is inside the building looking rather shocked. Is this the result of another strange tête-à-tête between him and the High Sparrow?
A more personal confrontation is set to take place when Sam and Gilly meet his parents at Horn Hill. The pair makes it to Sam's home where he hopes to find a place for Gilly and her son. Sam has a terrible relationship with his father, so this will be far from pleasant. From here, he then has to make his way to the Citadel in Oldtowne, where he'll meet other maesters.
No sign of Jon Snow and Sansa, but Stark sibling Bran is still warging through the forest as Meera drags him on to escape the wights. Not a good sign.
