'Game of Thrones' Releases Preview for Episode 4: 'The Spoils of War'

[SPOILER] Meets The Queen's Justice

The most recent episode of Game of Thrones was titled "The Queen's Justice," and sure enough, two characters suffered a tragic fate for their roles in killing Cersei Lannister's children in past seasons.

Cersei played a direct role in the first death, when she gave Tyene Sand the "kiss of death" in front of Tyene's mother Ellaria. Cersei wanted revenge on Ellaria for murdering her daughter Myrcella back in season 5. Ellaria had poisoned Myrcella with a similar kiss moments before Ellaria departed for King's Landing with her fiancée and father Jamie Lannister.

Tyene was the last of the Sand Snakes, a group of elite warriors and the daughters of Oberyn Martell, who died in season 4 during a duel with Gregor Clegane that was orchestrated by Cersei after Joffrey's death. She and her mother Tyene were captured in last week's episode by Euron Greyjoy during their sneak attack on Daenerys's fleet.

Cersei's revenge was doubly fitting (at least in her eyes) as she forced Ellaria to watch helplessly as Tyene died similar to how Jamie watched his daughter Myrcella die a few episodes ago.

She then says she's finished whispering in the ears of kings. Melisandre says she made mistakes in the past, and so she didn't bid a fond farewell to Jon and Davos. She tells Varys that she's going to leave Westeros, but that she will return someday.

Fan-Favorite Character Makes Surprise Return

This week's episode of Game of Thrones featured the surprise return of not one, but two characters. Arya reunited with two characters from her past when she met Hot Pie at the Inn at the Crossroads, and then met her old direwolf Nymeria later that evening.

For those who don't remember, Hot Pie was one of Arya Stark's traveling companions in season two and season three. Although he initially was an orphan recruited to join the Night's Watch, he and Arya were captured by the Lannisters and sent to Harrenhal.

Arya, Gendry and Hot Pie eventually escaped from Harrenhal and then met the Brotherhood without Banners. Hot Pie departed Arya's company at the Inn at the Crossroads to become a baker. Hot Pie is notably one of the few characters in Game of Thrones who didn't meet some sort of grisly death or fate when they were written out of the show.

Read Jorah's Heartbreaking Letter to Daenerys

Game of Thrones fans have always known that Jorah Mormont had an undying love for his queen, Daenerys Targaryn. In this past week's episode, he wrote a letter to prove it.

When Sam made his way to the holding cells, in an attempt to cure Jorah of the greyscale that's killing him, the man was writing a letter to his Khaleesi.

In order to save you the trouble of pausing your TV and trying to figure out what the letter said, HBO released a full image of the text online.

In what Jorah likely thought was his final letter, he wanted to make sure to tell Daenerys exactly how he felt and how much her life truly meant to him.
