Warning: There are spoilers ahead if you have not watched Sunday's episode of "Game of Thrones."
The ninth episode of "Game of Thrones" served up one of the bloodiest and most realistic battles we've seen in the show's history. From Rickon and Ramsay's deaths to a new couple fans are "shipping," it was a packed episode to say the least.
The "Battle of the Bastards" held epic fight scenes and tense dialogues, some of which contained more than meets the eye.
Scroll down for a look at the five things you probably missed.
Tyrion's conversation with Daenerys foreshadowed a deadly theory.
During their opening scene, Tyrion and Daenerys spoke about her father — the Mad King Aerys Targaryen. As a warning to Daenerys not to get too out of control with her destruction, Tyrion recounted a story he heard from Jaime about caches of wildfire placed all throughout the King's Landing.
Wildfire is a magical substance that can burn through wood, flesh, and even steel. The Mad King wanted to burn the city to the ground, and Jaime killed him (breaking his Kingsguard oath in the process) to protect the city. The significance of this story from Tyrion has little to do with the past, however, and everything to do with the future of the series.
Cersei might use the Mad King's wildfire stash to her advantage.
Wildfire has come up several times in the series, and fans believe it has all been leading up to Cersei going full "Mad King" herself and burning King's Landing to the ground using wildfire. In this episode, Tyrion made a point to say there was wildfire under the Sept of Baelor. And guess where Cersei's trial will be held in the next episode? It's looking like things are going to heat up in the finale.
Daenerys had an old family insult tossed her way.
Razdal mo Eraz, one of the Wise Masters of Yunkai, was among the leaders in the siege against Meereen. The last time he came face to face with Daenerys was in season three, when he offered her gold and ships in return for leaving their city alone.
When discussing surrender terms with Daenerys and Tyrion, Razdal tells the Mother of Dragons that she will now be forced from the city with nothing. "You will flee Slaver’s Bay on foot, like the Beggar Queen you are," he said. Book readers will recognize this dismissive insult as par for the course when it comes to Targaryens.
