Spoiler Warning: This article contains spoilers from Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 3.

 

This episode was absolutely incredible. Jon Snow is back in black, the Roose gets goosed and Tyrion becomes the dragon whisperer.

After a slow start, Game of Thrones decided to turn it up to eleven in this episode and give the fans exactly what we wanted. Dragons unchained, Jon back from the dead  and an expanded vocabulary for Hodor, finally!

Here are some predictions for the rest of Season 6:

1. Jon Snow will leave the Night’s Watch to fight with Ramsey. Game of Thrones

HBO has already told the press there will be the biggest battle yet this season. And it will no doubt be between the Boltons and Jon Snow’s army. In order to get involved with the wars of Westoros, Jon must give up on his Night’s Watch vows. Photos on set appear to show Jon out of the black robes and in traditional Stark armor.

In this season, expect to see some of the lesser known northern lords coalesce around Jon to fight the Boltons. Before Ramsey killed Roose, they spoke of the other houses they thought were allies. These names will play big roles this season, especially the Manderlies, the richest house in the north.

 

2. Sansa is pregnant.

If life couldn’t get any worse for poor Sansa, she may be carrying Ramsey’s baby. Sansa was married to Ramsey for an indeterminable amount of time, but plenty enough to get pregnant.

It will be interesting to see how Sansa responds to this news. Since Season 1, she has been painted as a motherly type and looking forward to having children. This setback would be a huge dose of irony for her.

However she reacts, that baby is a bad seed. Anything coming from the loins of somebody like Ramsey is undoubtedly evil. She’ll need plenty of “moon tea” on hand if she’s going to get out of this mess.

 

3. Tommen will send troops to fight the Faith.

Tommen’s done basically nothing since becoming king. Even after his mother and wife were arrested by The Faith and subjected to humiliation, he basically just sat around with Ser Pounce. After this episode’s speech, however, the young king might actually grow a pair and unleash some of his inner Joffrey.

This could lead to a whole host of problems for the Lannisters, mainly because the Faith Militant is a growing force not only in Kings Landing but all around Westeros excluding the North. Not to mention any type of military action lead by Tommen will be completely mismanaged.

 

4. Tyrion will train the dragons. 

“The dragon will have three heads,” was the prophecy Daenerys heard in the House of the Undying. So obviously she gets one head and Jon would be the most likely candidate for the second. That leaves one riderless dragon to worry about.

Tyrion is definitely a likely contender and considering the events of last night’s episode, basically a shoe in. Not only does he have unparalleled dragon knowledge, but the dragons like him (or at least won’t burn him to death).

There has been plenty of foreshadowing scenes where Tyrion discusses his affinity for dragons and their history. While he’ll probably have a little trouble getting on, he’s definitely the most qualified candidate to train and ride them.

5. Bran will find out who Jon Snow’s parents are. 

A very pivotal flashback is featured in the preview for episode 3. Bran and Bloodraven are seen wondering in Ned Stark’s past, during a crucial scene that will reveal Jon Snow’s parentage.

At the end of the preview you see a young Ned about to fight Targaryen soldiers. This flashback already happened in the first book, but the exact details are unclear. Ned and his allies win the fight with the guards and climb to the top of a tower where his sister, Lyanna is held. The theory goes that she is birthing Jon in this scene and dies shortly afterwards.

When Bran witnesses this event he will learn that Jon is not his half brother but his cousin. It will also reveal that Jon is not a bastard but a true born Stark and Targaryen hybrid. With this knowledge Bran will presumably have to leave the tree and find Jon in order to tell him the truth about his back story.
