Daenerys has just had her first real victory in Westeros, but what happens now? The gold made it back to King's Landing, destroying the food is potentially a problem for her as well as Cersei, Jaime and Bronn could escape, and the War of the Two Queens goes on.

Will this victory be a turning point in that war, or ultimately meaningless? The Lannister army has just lost a LOT of men, but if it replaces them will the Golden Company, then we're roughly back to where we were before the Field of Fire.

Then there's the question of what impact it'll have on Daenerys' camp. How will Tyrion react to being brought to watch his brother almost die, not to mention the Queen he supports going on a murderous, fiery rampage? What will Varys make of that, given he supported Dany to help save the realm? How could Jon support it, given he advised against it? How will word of the attack spread, and will it turn people towards or away from the Mother of Dragons?

What questions did The Spoils of War leave you with? Let us know down in the comments.
