The Ultimate Thrones Down: 'Game Of Thrones' Episode 4 Pictures Reveal Daenerys's Revenge

Forget those various spoilersports and script leaks surrounding HBO's Game of Thrones, for those who don't want the surprise to be fully destroyed, we have a sneak peek at what to expect during Sunday's "The Spoils of War."

It has been a bit of a rough season for a certain blonde bombshell, and the previous weeks have seen Queen #DaenerysTargaryen's forces bested (twice) by pillaging pirate Euron Greyjoy. With the Mother of Dragons now having lost House Tyrell, finding herself without a naval fleet, and with various Lannister supporters mounting against her, it ain't looking good for our fireproof female.

The trailer for the next episode already saw #EmiliaClarke's fearless leader throwing her toys out of the stroller with the statement, "All my allies are gone, I'm losing." But could this halfway point of Season 7 finally be a turning point for Daenerys?

Warning: Possible spoilers ahead for Game of Thrones.

Burn Baby Burn

The latest pictures give us a spoilerific look at trouble in Winterfell, Cersei laughing all the way to the bank, and a dramatic look at what Team Dany will be up to this week. Even with the approaching army of frozen undead, it looks like things are about to heat up in Westeros and it is time to dragon-up to see the Breaker of Chains get back in her favorite position as a dragon rider. We see Daenerys on the battlefield atop Drogon, which has to mean trouble for someone. Presumably, the flaming battle avec dragons will go hand in hand with the image of a rather shocked looking Jaime and Bronn.

The trailer points to Jaime taking his "spoils of war" from a newly sacked Highgarden to solve that money problem between House Lannister and the Iron Bank. However, this being Thrones, it was never going to be that easy, while it looks like Dany has other plans for those stolen funds. It really does look like "The Spoils of War" will lead to that epic field battle from the trailers that sees the might of the Lannister army take on Daenerys's winged wonders. While we can't see the Kingslayer bowing out on the field of battle, could there be trouble ahead for fan-favorite Bronn?

Winter Warmers

Elsewhere, we see Lady Sansa struggling to hold together the northern armies while a slimy Petyr Baelish looks down over Winterfell. The calculating creep has been playing a dangerous game for many seasons now, but could the arrival of Bran Stark last week and (presumably) Arya Stark this week see Littlefinger's time running out?

The trailer also showed us a worried looking Sansa burying herself in some scrolls, and the promo image reveals an equally concerned #SophieTurner looking like a rabbit in the headlights. Notice that Sansa appears to be spending some time in the reflective Godswood of House Stark, so we have to assume that someone is telling our "Little Bird" some home truths — the question is, who?

Give me Greyjoy in my heart.

Finally, it appears that it isn't all battles and schemes this week. We could be set for another long-awaited reunion as Theon Greyjoy comes back to Dragonstone and a waiting #JonSnow. After abandoning ship (and his sister) when Uncle Euron attacked, Alfie Allen's cock-less charmer currently "Reeks" of cowardice. That being said, Theon Greyjoy could easily be on the cusp of another one of his redemptive story arcs.

We have seen Theon and Jon manage a particularly tumultuous relationship, and the King in the North could be about to deliver some swift justice. While Yara's prognosis looks pretty grim, a dead weight like Theon also isn't needed as we head toward the achingly short final season of the show. However, with Theon remorseful for his crimes, could he be spared the sword and set out to help topple the Lannisters before his sister rots away in the cells of the Red Keep?

Either way, "The Spoils of War" looks like a boost to the action compared to Episode 3 and that rather long war of the words. Bear in mind that cinematographer Robert McLachlan has previously said that Episode 4 was the hardest to film out of Season 7's magnificent seven, which could have something to do with the epic use of Dany's dragons.

Having Emilia Clarke fly in on a greenscreen hobbyhorse is no easy feat to manufacture, but it looks we'd better light up the BBQ. Someone is sure for a roasting when "The Spoils of War" airs this weekend as our shortened Game of Thrones Season 7 heads out on its final stretch.
