With only a few days left to recover after the game-changing events of Game of Thrones episode five, these photos provide proof that episode six has no plans to alleviate any tension.

The newly released images - six in total - include Arya (Maisie Williams), her target Lady Crane (Essie Davis) and a long-teased King's Landing showdown.

A photo showing the High Sparrow with Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) suggests she's been prepped for the 'shame walk' experienced by Cersei back in season five's finale while other images of King Tommen (Dean-Charles Chapman) and Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) indicates this is where the majority of this week's episode will be taking place.

Elsewhere, it seems that - with Ser Jorah Mormont out of the way - Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) and her love interest Daario Naharis (Michael Huisman) are to rekindle their flame on their way back to Meereen (with Dothraki army in tow, of course).

The episode's official synopsis reads: “An old foe comes back into the picture. Gilly (Hannah Murray) meets Sam’s (John Bradley) family. Arya (Maisie Williams) faces a difficult choice. Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) faces off against the High Sparrow (Jonathan Pryce).”

The episode's preview - which airs this Sunday - hints that we'll be learning more about the Tower of Joy leading fans to speculate we could finally be about to learn one of the show's biggest secrets.
