Game of Thrones season 8 episode 5: Release date, trailer, title, run time, plot

Can you believe we are already down to the final two episode of the season?

That's right, the penultimate episode of Game of Thrones is due to air in a week's time and the stage is set for a very bloody and very personal climax.

Following some more shocking deaths in the preceding episode, Daenerys Targaryen will be looking to obliterate Cersei Lannister and claim the Iron Throne.

But where does Jon Snow stand in all of this, as he was travelling down to join his aunt in fighting the Lannister queen?

Finally, whose side will Tyrion Lannister take in The Last War?

Well, we feel like events will not be so simple.

Spoiler warning for what comes next if you haven't seen the most recent episode.

We didn't find out the titles for episode 1 (Winterfell), episode 2 (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms), episode 3 (The Long Night), or episode 4 (The Last of the Starks) until when the episode aired, so don't expect to know until then.

Unless, of course, it leaks before.

It's going to be another epic clash, with Emilia Clarke teasing the episode to be "bigger" than what we saw in episode 3.

Daenerys seems primed to go full Mad Queen after losing almost everything, so will she really burn the capitol to the ground to get revenge on Cersei?

And where does rightful heir Jon stand in all of this?
