Game Of Thrones Season 8: 12 Easter Eggs & References You Might've Missed In 'The Bells'

5. Bran's Vision Comes To Pass

Game of Thrones Bran Dragon Vision King's Landing

Back in Season 4, Bran Stark touched a weirwood tree and had a vision of a dragon flying over King's Landing. It's long been a point of speculation as to what it means, with various ideas surrounding Daenerys' arrival in Westeros, her becoming Queen, or that it could've even been from the past.

Now we know exactly what it meant. Back in The Lion and the Rose, an episode known for killing a King, we were getting our first glimpse of the chaos and fury that would befall King's Landing as Dany came to conquer, killing a Queen in the process.

In that same sequence, Bran sees the same shot of the Iron Throne that Daenerys does in her House of the Undying vision. The Throne doesn't appear in this episode, but we can safely assume we're getting a variation on that shot next week.
