Five predictions for Game of Thrones Episode 802

Daenerys will feel threatened after learning Jon’s parentage

This is a given, right? Daenerys has spent a ton of time and effort trying to win back the Iron Throne for her family, so how else would she react when hearing that Jon Snow rightfully belongs in that seat? And it’s going to be made more awkward because of their intimate relationship.

There’s been a lot of speculation over how this moment will go, but I don’t think it’s going to end well. Dany certainly won’t be happy, and may even try to assert that she is still the rightful heir. But she and everyone at Winterfell saw Jon riding a dragon, another tip-off that he does indeed have Targaryen blood. Plus Bran, who sees all, can back up the truth of Jon’s claim. It’s going to be a hard claim to rebut.

Whatever happens, things are about to get complicated. And we haven’t even talked about the incest angle. True, it’s a Targaryen pasttime, but something tells me that Daenerys specifically isn’t on board with it, to say nothing about Jon.
