Game of Thrones season 7: 5 predictions for episode 6

Game of Thrones’ penultimate episode this season is probably going to require multiple watches, but here are five big events we think will happen.

Note: If you haven’t seen Game of Thrones‘ fifth episode of season 7, “Eastwatch,” what are you doing here!? That episode was completely bonkers, and if you missed even one plot point, you’ll want to check out the Culturess recap, which has all the details on what everyone got up to.

I’ll be the first to admit it: episode 6 of Game of Thrones season 7 is going to have to have to get completely and totally bonkers to top “Eastwatch.” From the first scene of Jaime and Bronn surfacing from the river, very much alive (just want to slide it in that I called it) to Jon taking a motley crew beyond the Wall, there were all kinds of reveals and big moments.

That means that episode 6 will have to pile it on, and yours truly is back with her spoiler-influenced predictions. As per usual, any evidence that comes from photos or rumors that surfaced during production (that is, stuff that we fans aren’t supposed to know yet) will be marked before you get to them so that you can remain pure and surprised by the episode … although seeing it all unfold is still mind-blowing on a regular basis.
