Warning: Spoilers ahead for HBO's "Game of Thrones" season seven, episode four, titled "Spoils of War."

Fire ruled the day on the newest episode of "Game of Thrones."

Clocking in at just 50 minutes, "Spoils of War" is the shortest episode of the series. But it sure packed a punch. 

Daenerys decided she couldn't sit back and let the Lannister army take Highgarden without some retribution and fights back, dragons blazing. Meanwhile, Arya returned home to Winterfell in a joyous reunion with Sansa, a kick-ass sparring with Brienne, and an awkward meeting with Bran, aka the new Three-eyed Raven. And as a result, Jaime's life was in danger as the show ended with a cliffhanger. 

But which moments had fans talking the most?

Social-media monitoring platform Brandwatch found more than 31,500 "Thrones"-related mentions on Twitter during the 50 minutes it aired on HBO and identified the scenes when conversation peaked.

Here are the five most talked-about moments from the latest "Game of Thrones" episode:

5. Finally! Fans went nuts over the Stark family reunion between Sansa, Bran, and Arya.

9:22 p.m. ET – around 550 mentions

While the sisters (and real life BFFs) gleefully embraced each other earlier, there was a different tone to Arya's reunion with Bran. As the Three-eyed Raven, he certainly wasn't as warm upon seeing her.

 Also, fans are having a field day with Sansa looking like the most boring Stark.

 



4. Fans were thrilled by the episode's big battle. But the standouts for viewers were Bronn's bravery in the face of certain defeat and Daenerys' command of "Dracarys," which is High Valyrian for dragonfire.

9:46 p.m. ET – Around 590 mentions

Bronn had to survive several Dothraki attackers to make it to Cersei's dragon-killing weapon. But although wounded, Dragon still had something extra for a charging Jaime. Bronn pulled the Lannister out of harm's way, but the river may be trying to finish the job... or not.

 

 



3. All hail Drogon!

9:44 p.m. ET and 9:42 p.m. ET (tie) – around 710 mentions for both moments

Viewers celebrated the dragon for its mighty showing during the Lannister battle. They were so taken by Drogon's performance, moments during the scene peaked not once, but twice. It remains to be seen how much damage Bronn was able to cause though.
