‘Game of Thrones’: The 5 Biggest Spoilers From ‘Eastwatch’

WARNING: As if the title didn’t say it already, there are Major Spoilers ahead for Game of Thrones. Read at your own risk…

If you watched this past episode of Game of Thrones, you know that a lot went down. No, like A LOT went down!

From subtle hints to major returns, it seemed as though every scene in ‘Eastwatch’ contained another big reveal for fans to gawk about on Twitter for days to come.

Honestly, with everything that happened in that hour of television, it’s easy to see how you could forget some of the important info. Don’t worry though, we’ve got you covered.

Here are the five biggest spoilers from ‘Eastwatch’:

Gendry’s Return

After a four-year-long rowing trip, Gendry finally made his triumphant return to Game of Thrones this week.

Robert Baratheon’s bastard son was chased out of King’s Landing by Joffrey before getting sold to Melisandre to become a blood sacrifice for Uncle Stannis. Fortunately, Davos Seaworth came to the rescue and smuggled Gendry out on a rowboat.

Davos finally went to find Gendry this week and the young blacksmith made a new ally.

Despite being told not to, Gendry told Jon Snow exactly who he was. The duo instantly bonded, just as Ned and Robert did. 

Jon’s Lineage

In the most subtle of ways, Game of Thrones revealed that Jon Snow isn’t a bastard after all. In fact, it looks as though he’s actually the rightful heir to the Iron Throne.

Gilly has finally learned to read and she was trying to show off her skills to Sam. Unfortunately, he wasn’t paying much attention.

While his mind was elsewhere, Gilly told Sam that High Septon Maynard actually performed an annulment for Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, while simultaneously marrying him to someone else in a secret ceremony in Dorne.

This means that Rhaegar and Lyanna’s union was legal and that Jon Snow wasn’t a bastard after all. If all of this is true, Jon actually has a better claim to the throne than Daenerys.

Cersei’s Secret

Just when you thought the Lannister bloodline would end with Cersei, she makes the reveal of the century.

Twins Jaime and Cersei produced a few children, all of whom have been killed over the years. The siblings made the children a secret for the longest time, but Cersei has stopped caring at this point.

The Queen has told Jaime that she’s pregnant with another one of his children. This time though, she’s going to tell everyone that he’s the father.

All that being said, the evil might not end with Cersei Lannister.

Littlefinger’s Plans

Littlefinger has always had a way of pulling the strings in Westeros, but this week taught us that he’s even badder than we thought.

Arya saw Littlefinger sneaking a note around Winterfell, and she had to find out what it said. Quickly and quietly, Arya snuck into his room and read the letter that Sansa had sent Robb back in Season 2.

Just when we thought Arya had the upper-hand, Littlefinger was seen watching the young girl from a dark corner.

This guy pitting the Starks against each other, and it’s working.

Jon’s Army

Jon and Tyrion came up with the ridiculous plan of capturing a wight to prove to Cersei that the danger above the wall is real.

In order to do this, Jon decided to lead a small team of fighters past the wall. The only problem is that many of these men already have a history.

Tormund Giantsbane can’t stand Jorah Mormont because of his father’s time in charge of the Night’s Watch. Jorah and Thoros of Myr have a history fighting against the Targaryens, while Gendry still has beef with Thoros for selling him to Melisandre. 

Meanwhile, The Hound still doesn’t really like anybody, so he’s a bushel of fun to deal with.

This group is perhaps the most talented roster Game of Thrones has put together, but it’s likely that some of them won’t make it back next week.
