With two episodes remaining in s3, the trailers are kept intentionally vague. Given a wide range of possible outcomes across a large number of plotlines, we turn evermore to Fire and Blood! Which plotlines will link up to the book… and of the ones that do not, what comes next?

This one is called “Faceless Men” because so many people pretend to be who they are not… including the dead themselves. There is much to say about purpose, duty, a reason to fight on, or not. An episode rich in parallels, history, mysticism and conflict. Some ends… and some beginnings.

As a number of intrigues play out, battle at Tumbleton seems to be looming, but conflict in the Riverlands must play out first. Daemon seeks killers operating in the shadows while Criston Cole seeks death in broad daylight. What’s next for Aemond now that he’s healthier, and how does Alys fit in? A Baratheon delegation appears to have emerged at last, and Hugh looks like he’s up to something. We break it all down and make predictions!

There is no trailer for episode 5, but instead another “in the weeks ahead” trailer. So we will focus on what’s to come in the 2nd half of the season! We have lots of ideas for Aemond and Alys, Alicent and Helaena and Maelor(?), Rhaena and Sheepstealer, and more!

It’s a coming out party for Prince Daeron, because a Blue Queen needs a Green King. Rhaenyra channels Sun Tzu, trying to know her enemy, Lord Ormund. Daemon can’t seem to go to the Vale without murdering someone, spars with the new master of coin, and continues to do so with Mysaria. Aegon finds Sunfyre whom he believes must be alive, and Meleys, who definitely is not. Helaena bumps into a quickly growing situation.

After an episode focused on Rhaenyra, we’re sure to catch up with a lot of other characters and plotlines like Daemon, Criston & Gwayne, Alys & Aemond, Alicent & Helaena and of course Tumbleton. It’s time for a number of newer storylines to get moving, and we have a bunch of predictions, some based on what’s next in Fire & Blood!

No Fire and Blood character had a POV chapter, but HBO’s Rhaenyra just did. Though she proclaims victory and aims for a brighter future, Rhaenyra is overwhelmed by problems of the moment and haunted by ghosts of the past. There’s an ominous soundtrack and a familiar theme presented as a double edged sword… Like Maester Aemon told Jon Snow and his brother Egg, to become a man you must kill the boy. It’s a metaphor for growing into a ruler, but for Rhaenyra it is also quite literal… and the boy is Alicent’s child. Until she discovers simultaneously that he’s not Daeron, and the war is not over.

After two huge first episodes, it looks like the focus will shift somewhat to the Red Keep, as most of the trailer seems to focus there as Queen Rhaenyra’s rule begins. It was a difficult time in the books and appears to be the case here. But there’s also an apparent parlay between Daemon and Lord Ormund! We predict a lot of plotlines will be established while others continue full steam ahead. Books, interviews, trailers and guesswork… no leaks!

“Queen’s Landing” was meant to be the finale of season 2 and it really felt like it! We have a lot to say about the many parallels, the off-screen events and how Rhaenyra’s arc will shift massively, creating a cascade of new plots and conflicts. Aemond’s move might be just as huge, as he’s met one of the most interesting characters in the show just as he’s lost the throne. Rhaena and Aegon are on the run from their own kin, the Velaryons are scattered, but new armies are forming as fast as new ambitions.
