Game Of Thrones Season 7: 9 Hints From "The Spoils of War" Trailer

7. The Journey Back To King's Landing

After sacking Highhgarden in double quick time and killing Olenna Tyrell, Jaime's attentions will now turn to coming home to King's Landing again. Presumably a portion of the army will remain in Tyrell country - unless they've literally just pillaged the place of its gold and left it to ruin - while the rest heads back to protect Cersei.

The trailer shows we will actually get to see that journey, which is pretty key.

Why's it important? Well, in a season with zero flab, the fact that we're getting to see the Lannister army on the road means that something big and probably dreadful is going to happen to them. If it was an uneventful journey, they'd simply fast travel to their destination, but the fact that we'll see them crossing open planes means they're going to be attacked.

And you can bet that will come in the shape of horses, hairy warriors and at least one dragon. Which makes it pretty unlikely that Jaime is going to get that gold back to Cersei in King's Landing.
