This post is going to include book spoilers for HotD, so if you don't want to be spoiled or if you don't watch the next ep trailers then pls scroll.

God I just love how the showrunners use the trailers. Like they always include these totally spoilery things that show only people won't actually be spoiled by, but makes book readers want to watch even more. Like for example, the ep 5 trailer includes this:

Book readers went nuts for this cameo, but this spoils nothing for TV watchers. It probably wouldn't spoil them even if they knew who this almost certainly is. So this is some stuff I caught in the trailer that made me more excited for next week's episode.

Those dragons are almost certainly Seasmoke on the left and Maelys on the right. Laenor and Rhaenys arriving to kings landing for the wedding on dragon back, which is a lovely callback to the book bc Rhaenys insisted on arriving to her wedding to Corlys on Maelys.

New shots of Maelys and Seasmoke. Can't wait to see Maelys. ^_^

Rejected Lannister arriving for the wedding with the Velaryon banner hanging behind them.

CRISPIN COLE (Sorry that's just his name now I don't make the rules) ALONE WITH ALICENT!!!!!!!

Joffrey Lonmouth (Laenor's boyfriend.) with Crispin standing over him after clearly taking a beating, but the knife is in *Joffrey's* hand and not Crispin's? Do we have a lover jealous over Rhaenyra? Probably not, but STILL.

Laenor getting tossed onto a table by a *Lannister* during what appears to be like a wedding brawl with a Kingsguard (Crispin?) standing literally right behind him.

Rhaenyra's babydaddy aka Harwin Strong punching a guard in the face. Maybe this is how he gets chosen as her sworn shield after Crispin The Fuckin Traitor Cole defects to the greens? This is apparently the last episode we get with their younger selves, so that has to be happening soon.

Crispin beating Joffrey so bad that we see blood splattering on his shoulder there on the left. Man, who does Joffrey go after? Is this before or after he defects? IDK but I'm looking forward to it. This is probably where Joffrey dies because he is killed by Crispin at Laenor and Rhaenyra's wedding tourney, and I doubt we're going to see another tourney.

Corlys standing in front of the driftwood throne, meeting with someone. My guess is that it's Viserys when he goes to Driftmark to propose the match between Laenor and Rhaenyra.

Daemon sneaking around somewhere. My guess is either dragonstone, or King's Landing. Because in the series trailer we see him at the wedding despite his being on the outs with Viserys, so I have a feeling he actually sneaks into the wedding feast while it's ongoing, and hell...maybe he instigates the fight because that's just who he is as a person. Alternatively, this could be him in the Vale taking steps to rid himself of his Bronze Bitch (who is likely a lovely person who just doesn't put up with his bullshit, knowing Daemon.).

Viserys's rotting problems getting way, way worse. That arm is not looking good, and I can't tell if it's because it is gangrenous or because Mellos has been bleeding him. This is likely where Mellos loses his job, because there's a bit in the book about how a cut from the throne got infected and Viserys almost died, but Rhaenyra saves him by sending Mellos away and getting a better Maester. So I'm gonna guess that this is that. Which is interesting for the Maester conspiracy with Otto people. Viserys finally getting super sick after Otto has been fired. Otto being fired means Viserys isn't of use to House Hightower anymore, so Otto would now have motivation to let him die.

Rhaenyra at the wedding being protected by a white cloak. Maybe it really was her that Joffrey attacks. The scene previous to this one is Rhaenyra and Crispin on a boat, presumably on their way to Driftmark to propose. So maybe he is still on her side at this point? Maybe not. It is right around the wedding that he changes sides.

Daemon doing something unsavory to someone on a horse in the same place as the other screenie I took of him. Obviously, up to no good, as it's Daemon. Not sure who the guy on the horse is.

This one is hard to tell exactly what's going on if you watch it full speed, but if you go frame by frame, it's Alicent in that same GD dress watching Viserys arrive home from somewhere (probably Driftmark), and being startled as he collapses outside the carriage.

Alicent looking So Done with her father's bullshit when he's not even supposed to be there and he's telling her like "hahahah your husband, you know, the one that keeps you safe and whatnot, is dying so you best be prepared to steal the throne from Rhaenyra".

That's everything and like I'm so hyped I can't wait. Even though I know what's going on in some of these shots, I still don't REALLY know and I love how they've turned these trailers into an artform in and of themselves.
