At the conclusion of last week's episode, fans finally got a taste of the "Game of Thrones" carnage they had been craving. The last scene showed a smug Jaime Lannister who weaseled his way out of confinement by dropping his powerful father's name. Little did he know, his captors sudden hospitality was all a show. They threw him down on the table, asking him how his precious father would save him before the chop off his right hand. Unfortunately for Jaime, his reputation as a master swordsman may suffer as a result.
So now that blood has been spilt, fans are reassured that the "Game of Thrones" they've grow to love has returned, and episode four is bound to give them even more. As we hoped, there will be much more violence in this week's "And Now His Watch Is Ended."
The first three episodes have provided us with a brief glimpse into the reign of Daenerys, but we have yet to get a full grasp on what she and her dragons are planning. We simply haven't seen much of her. Fortunately, episode four will feature plenty of Dany. She makes good on her trade to give her largest dragon to the slave master in return for 8,000 warriors, but it appears as though the dragon may have other plans.
Meanwhile, Arya is taken to see the commander of the Brotherhood. It seems the little Stark girl has impressed several of her comrades. Despite her worried look, things are bound to turn out great for the tiny warrior. They always do.
We will also get more of the Night Watch as the roam north of the wall, however it may end in tragedy. Lord Commander of the Night Watch Jeor Mormont may meet his maker. In the book, "and now his watch is ended" are the last lines of his eulogy, so perhaps we'll see another "Games of Thrones" funeral.
Back in Kings Landing, Cersei comes to realize that Lady Olena and Joffrey's new lady Margaery are dangerous. She protests the union between Margaery and the young king to her father, the mighty Tywin Lannister.
"And Now His Watch Is Ended" will air Sunday, April 21, on HBO. Watch the sneak peek trailer below.
