There are only three episodes left in Season 4 of HBO’s Game of Thrones and until now, little has been known about what might be going down in those episodes — save for the inevitable fight between the Mountain and Red Viper that will determine Tyrion Lannister’s fate.
Today HBO released the official titles and synopsis for each of the final three episodes of Game of Thrones Season 4 and you will find each in their entirety below. Fair warning: though HBO writes these blurbs to be deliberately vague, there is enough information offered to warrant me issuing a spoiler warning from this point forward.
What’s intriguing about the Season 4 finale in particular is that it potentially refers directly to Bran and his heritage as a child of the forest. Bran’s story has been very slow to develop through the first four seasons so a big shocker or revelation regarding his direction would be most welcome.
Remember: the next episode will not air until Sunday, June 1 as Game of Thrones is taking off this upcoming weekend to avoid viewers being otherwise occupied with celebrating Memorial Day weekend.
Also, the Game of Thrones Season 4 finale will run 65 minutes long, or five minutes past its normally alloted 60-minute time slot. Adjust your DVRs accordingly.
