Game of Thrones season 7 has now gotten past its big meeting, but what exactly will take place in episode 4? It’s time to make some guesses.

Game of Thrones capped off “The Queen’s Justice” with basically the best way to say good-bye to Olenna Tyrell. Talk about going out like a boss, right? But now it’s time to talk about what’s coming next, and that’s episode 4.

As rumors have it, the title of episode 4 is “The Spoils of War.” At the time, we suspected that it would again refer to Daenerys. After “The Queen’s Justice,” we’re pretty confident that that’s going to be true. But there are five slightly more concrete predictions, one of which includes more on that title, that we also feel comfortable making at this time, based on the preview.

For these five predictions, we’re also going to dip our toes into the waters of previously-rumored or written spoilers. However, we’ll put warnings in before we get to that territory, and you can just skip straight to the next prediction with your arrow keys or by clicking the next slide button if you’re not comfortable becoming a member of the unofficial spoilers’ club (which yours truly made up just now).

So, what do “The Spoils of War” (if that is the title) have in store? Here’s what we’re thinking.
