It's been a week since THAT Game of Thrones episode, dubbed the Purple Wedding, in which bratty King Joffrey finally lost his life. But with such a shocker last week, what can we expect from tonight's installment?
Game of Thrones director Alex Graves has hinted at what's to come in season four, episode three, which airs in the States tonight and the UK on Monday.
Entitled 'Breaker of Chains', the episode follows on from the events of 'The Lion and the Rose' and the hunt for the killer of Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson), who was killed during his wedding to Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer).
Graves told The Hollywood Reporter: "Episode three is in part an aftermath episode, where you settle and everything takes a turn toward the second half of the season."
The director also revealed that episode three will feature "one of the best speeches in the series".

Graves has also been teasing fans about what's to come later in the season. Speaking to Deadline ahead of the Purple Wedding episode, the director revealed:
"Episode 10 of the season is, you know, as David and Dan will tell you, it's the first true finale they've ever done and it's really the episode to end all episodes. It's the largest episode they've ever made."
The director also clarified that the fantasy drama is still based on the books, amid claims that the show is catching up with George R R Martin's novels.
"First of all the show is still in the books and it won't be out of the books here for another season and hopefully by then the first of the last book will be done. But I can only say that David and Dan and George have it all very well in hand."
