“We’ll rip her out, root and stem,” says Daenerys in this teaser for the fourth episode of Game of Thrones, which will arrive on Showmax at the same time as the M-Net broadcast, at 22:00 on Monday, 6 May.
She’s talking, of course, about Cersei Lannister.
What’s happening in episode 4?
WARNING: Some spoilers ahead!
Now that the Night King and his zombie army have been dispatched with – not without significant and tragic losses on the side of the living – Daenerys, Sansa, Tyrion, Jon, Brienne, the Hound, Jaime, Arya and the rest of our heroes can focus on the fight that matters the most: the battle for the Iron Throne.
“We have won the Great War,” says the Mother of Dragons, “Now we will win the Last War.”
We love her confidence, but can’t help but fear for her fate, and the fate of the remainder of the allied forces who are currently stationed at Winterfell. Especially when we go back to the beginning of the teaser and see Cersei’s smug smile as she and Euron Greyjoy watch their troops assembling at King’s Landing.
With most of the Unsullied, all the Dothraki and pretty much all of Jon’s army felled in The Long Night, how will Daenerys and the North’s forces compare to Cersei’s?
And will Daenerys’s alliance with Sansa and the North still hold, especially since she and Jon both know that his claim to the Iron Throne is, in theory, more legitimate than hers?
We can’t wait to get the answers to these questions – but at the same time, after the Battle of Winterfell, we’re glad we’ve got a few days to calm our shattered nerves before episode 4 airs on Monday, 6 May at 22:00 on Showmax.
