*Warning: contains mild spoilers for Game of Thrones season eight episode four*

While the start of episode four saw Daenerys a little put out by all the adulation her lover/nephew/rival-to-the-throne Jon Snow received post-Battle of Winterfell, you can only imagine how miffed she would have been if she'd looked down to see the Starbucks cup left on the table in front of her...
