Watch a new Daenerys scene from Game of Thrones Season 6

Game of Thrones Season 6, Episode 1, “The Red Woman,” is now out there in the world. Although the production did not make screeners available to reviewers ahead of time, cast and crew members got to watch it an at event last night in Los Angeles. The rest of us will have to wait two weeks. However, it’s a good bet that some people in the premiere audience will start spoiling things ahead of time.

One of those mini-spoilers—bite sized, even—is already here. As part of its coverage of last night’s event, Reuters debuted a very short new clip from what we are assuming is the first episode. It features Daenerys, who we have seen in the trailers being marched across the Great Grass Sea by the khalasar she ran into at the end of last season. Up until now, we have only seen images of her walking as a tiny blonde speck amid thousands, or standing in front of a khal whose face we cannot see. In this clip, we finally get a look at where they are taking her. The clip starts just after the one minute mark.

Oh, baby, every morning there are spoilers to climb
Taking all my time
Oh, yes I speculate on what I see
Welcome to reality

Welcome home, eh?

For those who are wondering where the Dothraki have taken her, the answer is Vaes Dothrak, the only permanent Dothraki settlement on Essos. Located in the middle of the Dothraki Sea, it is a city boasted to be large enough to hold every Dothraki clan should they all decide to gather at once. The permanent population is much smaller, though, made up of slaves and the dosh khaleen, the widows of khals who are sent there to live out the rest of their lives there once their husbands die. (Remember, before Dany, no Khaleesi had ever lead a Dothraki horde, and chances are the wife of the new khal would not want the wife of the old khal hanging around the tribe causing tensions.)

That the Dothraki take Dany here suggests that they indeed do believe her when she says she is the wife of the late Khal Drogo. The only problem is that, by claiming that mantle, she is going to be treated by the Dothraki the way they would treat the window of any late Khal—putting her in storage out in the middle of nowhere, to live out her life far from where she could cause trouble…or in Dany’s case, have any hope of finally crossing the Narrow Sea to conquer Westeros.
