Game Of Thrones Season 7 Episode 5 Episode Name Revealed: "Eastwatch"

1. Tyrion And Davos Plan To Rescue Yara

Game Of Thrones Tyrion

This is a slightly more left-field prediction (and it may not happen until one of the final two episodes), but the Yara thread remains incredibly important or she would be dead already and Theon wouldn't have made it back to Dragonstone. He wants help rescuing Yara and there's absolutely no way Dany is going to give it happily. Not on a grand scale anyway.

What she might do, though, is allow Theon a couple of knowledgeable assistants in the shape of Tyrion - who has now all but been deposed as Dany's hand, and Davos, who probably isn't going North with Jon (because Dany needs a "prisoner" if Jon refuses to bend the knee still).

Both know King's Landing well - Tyrion the castles and Davos the street level - and they would be the perfect figures to sneak in to King's Landing and rescue Yara without making a mess. We know the pair go to King's Landing thanks to set leaks, and this could be the explanation for that little trip (assuming Tyrion doesn't stupidly go to talk to Cersei, of course)...
