“None of this is totally surprising, but there was a surprise tear jerker.”

Episode 4 started out as expected, with everyone at Winterfell enjoying their victory against the Night King. However, the celebration soon came to an end as many characters had their hearts torn in two. This starts with Gendry proposing to Arya only to be rejected. Then, Jaime and Brienne of Tarth finally get together, but that also gets ruined as Jaime ditches her for Cersei once again. None of this is totally surprising, but there was a surprise tear jerker. The episode ended with Greyworm watching the love of his life, Missandei, be beheaded by The Mountain.

On top of all of this, it is known to many that Jon is actually Aegon Targaryen, son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen, the late Prince of Dragonstone and heir to the Iron Throne. This messes up everything because his claim is stronger than Daenerys’s. Also, because Daenerys is starting to act crazy, she is rubbing people the wrong way (especially Sansa and Arya). In addition to this, the conversations, such as one held by Varys and Tyrion, so many predictions can be formed???. Some of these include, Daenerys killing Jon, Daenerys being betrayed and killed by her own people, and Jon dying in the Last War and Daenerys becomes queen anyways??. All theories seem ridiculous, but in reality no theory is totally insane because this is Game of Thrones, and anything can happen.
