Game Of Thrones Preview: What To Expect From Season 6 Premiere

8. The Red Woman 2

With the exception of episodes where the action is mostly contained to a single location - the likes of Blackwater and Hardhome - the episode titles generally refer to more than one person, theme, or plotline, and that's definitely the case with The Red Woman.

Thanks to the most recent trailer, we know that another Red Priestess is showing up, this time in Meereen. She'll interact with Tyrion and Varys, and leave having got the better of this exchange.

The fact that this episode is called The Red Woman means it's pretty much nailed on we'll be seeing her, especially as Tyrion is involved, and they're not likely going to keep him out of the first episode.

Exactly why she's arrived in Meereen is unclear, but with a battle raging against the Sons of the Harpy, she may be there to offer the help of R'hllor, and try to persuade the Mother of Dragons - or at least those who work for her - to her cause.
