Be careful: Minor spoilers on "Game of Thrones" season 7 will follow. HBO has released the titles and the short plot descriptions for the first three installments of the next season of the show. The synopses are vague as always, nonetheless, they clearly indicate that the first episodes will be action-packed.
Episode 7x01: 'Dragonstone'
Description: Jon Snow organizes the defense of the North. Cersei Lannister tries to even the odds. Daenerys Targaryen comes home.
As you can see from the description, Daenerys will play a major role in the first episode (as well as in the second one).
Dragonstone is the castle in which Stannis planned his moves in the previous seasons of the show. It was the original seat of House Targaryen in Westeros and the birthplace of Daenerys Targaryen (she's known as Daenerys Stormborn because she was born on Dragonstone during a powerful storm). Although we cannot be sure, Cersei "trying to even the odds" probably foreshadowed a new alliance.
The first episode will air on July 16.
Episode 7x02: 'Stormborn'
Description: Daenerys Targaryen receives an unexpected visitor. Jon Snow faces a revolt. Tyrion Lannister [drum roll] plans the conquest of Westeros.
The unexpected visitor could be Jon Snow, or maybe Melisandre (we can see her in Dragonstone in the first "GOT" season 7 official trailer).
As we already knew, the most-loved Tyrion will play a great role as Daenerys' advisor. He's totally going to take advantage of his knowledge of Casterly Rock to plan a crucial attack against the seat of House Lannister. Can you imagine Cersei's face after this move? Priceless!
The second episode will air on July 23.
Episode 7x03: 'The Queen's Justice'
Description: Daenerys Targaryen holds court. Cersei Lannister returns a gift. Jaime learns from his mistakes.
The third episode's description is the most difficult to analyze. The "gift" links Cersei to Dany? This seems to be a plausible deduction, but we cannot exclude Cersei is returning a gift to Euron Greyjoy.
And what about Jaime? Here's our theory: after the destruction of the Great Sept of Baelor, Jaime will try to put some sense in Cersei's head, but the queen won't listen to him, and Jaime will trend away from his crazy sister. Take this theory with a pinch of salt: the plot description is too vague to support a strong hypothesis.
The third episode will air on July 30.
Don't forget: the long-awaited "Game of Thrones" Season 7 will premiere on July 16 on HBO.
