Titled “No One,” it is widely expected to focus on Arya and her ongoing fight with the Waif, as hinted at by the episode’s title.
However, the young Stark does not feature at all in the new photos released by HBO, the broadcaster keeping new information to a minimum.
One thing we do learn from the photos is that a new Red Priest is about to enter the show, played by Melanie Liburd, who has previously had roles in Runaway Island and How Sarah Got Her Wings. The last time we saw a Red Priestess, Tyrion was urging Azor Ahai's followers to preach about Daenerys to the people of Mereen.
Some have also questioned whether, in the photo of The Waif, Syrio is standing behind her (but that's entirely tinfoil territory).
The synopsis for the episode reads: “While Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) weighs his options, Cersei (Lena Headey) answers a request. Tyrion’s (Peter Dinklage) plans bear fruit. Arya (Maisie Williams) faces a new test.”
Meanwhile, with The Hound on the war path again the Brotherhood Without Banners, we’ve discussed whether Lady Stoneheart (AKA Catelyn Stark) may be about to appear on the show.
