This article contains spoilers for Game Of Thrones season 8.
Game of Thrones is the only show on television that will have you feeling one way and the next have those feelings turned totally upside down. That was no more evident than in its latest instalment – season eight, episode four.
The episode opens with the battered and victorious Winterfell army revelling in its victory, feasting and drinking. Brienne and Jamie take their relationship to the next level, Gendry proposes to Arya after being turned into a Lord by Daenerys and the army head to Kings Landing to confront Cersei. But of course, GoT through us for a loop with what would happen in between those pivotal moments.
Rhaegal is killed and Missandei is beheaded – leaving viewers confused, angry and gearing up already for next weeks episode.

Me on the phone with the Game of Thrones writers after watching Arya reject Gendry, Jon getting rid of Ghost, Jaime leaving Brienne for Cersei, Rhaegal and Missandei getting killed and Dany starting to go mad all in the same episode #GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/JOqEunBfd7
