In the official promo released by HBO, "I'm so sorry," Meera cries worriedly while Bran still appears to be in some kind of vision as his eyes remain white. But there might be another possibility that he is trying to save his life and that of Meera's by entering someone's mind and fight with the undead.

Episode 6 is titled Blood of My Blood and the synopsis reads: "An old foe comes back into the picture. Gilly (Hannah Murray) meets Sam's (John Bradley) family. Arya (Maisie Williams) faces a difficult choice. Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) faces off against the High Sparrow (Jonathan Pryce)."

The promo devotes a major chunk to King's Landing and the Lannisters' struggle against the High Sparrow. As Margaery gets ready to face her fate at the hand of the Faith Militants, Jaime Lannister rallies with his troops to silence the High Sparrow once and for all. Fans will learn about the outcome of the faceoff in the upcoming episode.

After burning Khal Moro, Daenerys Targaryen and adviser Daario Naharis embark on another journey along with thousands of Dothraki. Her destination is still unknown but it appears Dany is determined to get her wishes fulfilled. "I take what is mine," she tells her lover-cum-adviser in the promo.
