Grey Worm put Varys in shackles and took him to the same location where Stannis and Melisandre had burned people alive in season 4. Tyrion told Daenerys that Varys had betrayed her and we knew what that meant for Varys. So when you think of it, Varys and the visibly scared Martha attempted to kill Daenerys by poisoning her food. So it clear that they weren’t talking about spying on Daenerys. Martha works in the kitchens and has no way of being close to Daenerys to learn about any secrets that Dany is hiding and everyone knows what Daenerys is planning. She replies, “The greater the risk, the greater the reward.” Varys then asks her about the thing he has told her in the past. Martha looks scared and she says that the soldiers are watching her. He’s already trying to make Jon Snow the king and he wouldn’t care if she has had food or not. “We’ll try again at supper,” says Varys, which is really weird as it makes no sense for Varys to be so concerned about how much food Daenerys is eating. The moment Martha enters the room, Varys asks, “And?” This means he was expecting something to happen and Martha responds by saying, “She won’t eat.” It appears that Lord Varys tried poisoning Daenerys Targaryen. However, if you pay attention, you might notice that the scene tells us something different. It appears like a regular scene involving Varys, where he uses his Little Birds to spy on other people. The episode starts with Lord Varys writing letters which tell the truth about Jon Snow’s parents and then a girl named Martha visits his chambers and talks about Daenerys not eating her food and then she leaves. That letter contained information about Joffrey Baratheon’s birth parents. We had a similar scene in season 1, where Ned Stark wrote a similar letter to Stannis Baratheon. The letter contained information about Jon Snow’s birth parents.
We saw Lord Varys writing a letter at the start of the episode. Call back to Ned Stark’s letter to Stannis Baratheon These scorpions weren’t a part of the opening credits for the previous episodes.Ģ. At the end of the episode, we again got to see those scorpions on top of the main gate, when Missandei was executed and now the opening credits have added those scorpions on top of the gate for this episode. In the last episode we saw how effective Cersei’s new scorpions were, when Euron used them to shoot down Rhaegal.Ĭersei made sure that King’s Landing was properly protected, as the walls of the city were lined with numerous scorpions. In Game Of Thrones season 8, the opening credits have been changing with almost every episode to reflect the significant events that have occurred in the previous episode. Let’s take a look at the details you might have missed in Game Of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5: The Bells. In addition to this, there were a lot of deaths in the episode and a lot of hidden details and callbacks to earlier seasons as well. The episode had some stunning moments and we finally got to see Cleganebowl. Just like Jon and Tyrion, the fans were shocked and couldn’t believe their eyes. Game Of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5 finally aired and it left the fans stunned as we saw Daenerys turning into the Mad Queen and destroying King’s Landing.
