Six and a bit Game of Thrones seasons and one or two deaths later, it might finally happen: King in the North Jon Snow could actually come face-to-face with Mother of Dragons Daenerys Targaryen. At least if the episode three trailer and these new sneak-peek photos gifted from the Lord of Light/HBO press office are anything to go by.

Although the Westeros rulers don’t appear in the same shot together, it looks pretty clear Jon’s voyage from Winterfell to Dany’s stronghold of Dragonstone will be a fast one, with the new images showing Snow stepping on shore with Davos…

And then the two appear in what looks like Dany's audience chamber…

And finally, there’s also a shot of Sansa in Winterfell, walking alongside a far-too-happy-looking Littlefinger.

Come on, that’s almost a smile on his face! Something must be very wrong in the North. But at least we don't have too long to wait until we find out what...
