Warning: This post contains spoilers for those that have not seen Game of Thrones season 7 episode 4.

The Game of Thrones season 7 episode 5 promo is available to watch online and it promises to build on the shocking storylines that unfolded in episode 4, "The Spoils of War."

The 30-second spot shows Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) on a bit of a power trip after emerging victorious after a battle with the Lannister army. She can be seen in the promo for the next episode, which is titled "Blood of the Dragon," giving former Cersei supporters the option of joining her or dying. Her actions seem to be concerning for some of her loyal supporters, including Peter Dinklage's Tyrion Lannister.

"You need to find a way to make her listen," Lord Varys (Conleth Hill) says to Tyrion, presumably speaking of Daenerys.

Another massive reveal from the promo is that Jon Snow (Kit Harington) is made aware of Bran's return to Winterfell. The King of the North is shown telling Daenerys and her advisers that Bran has seen visions of the Night King and his army of the undead marching towards a coastal castle on The Wall, Eastwatch.

Bran's vision is a callback to a vision seen in the fire by Sandor "The Hound" Clegane earlier this season.

"Ice, a wall of ice. The Wall...It's where the Wall meets the sea," the Hound says. "There's a castle there. There's a mountain, looks like an arrowhead. The dead are marching past, thousands of them."

Another thrilling moment teased in the trailer shows Daenerys riding on her enormous dragon Drogon's back. She approaches Jon Snow and this could point to a number of possible situations.

Daenerys may learn that Jon is more than just a bastard from the North, or she may learn that her dragons don't feel animosity towards him because of his Targaryen lineage.

Not to be outdone, Queen Cersei Lannister (Lena Heady) is shown talking with her Hand, Qyburn.

"Whatever stands in our way we will defeat it," she says.

To sum it all up, Davos (Liam Cunningham) can be heard saying: "Bad things are coming."

The upcoming fifth episode of Game of Thrones airs on Sunday at 9/8c on HBO.
