BRAN Stark had an epic vision at the start of the latest episode of Game of Thrones – but it was far too quick and far too jumpy to remember everything.
The mystical lad was being transferred the whole history of the world by the Three-Eyed Raven who knew his time was swiftly running out, and viewers got a glimpse of snippets.
There was a lot of focus on wildfire, which viewers will remember Tyrion used to get rid of Stannis Baratheon's ships back in season two.
But this time, it was related to the Mad King Aerys Targaryen who was seen screaming "burn them all" in the vision.
MAD KING: Aerys could be seen screaming 'burn them all'
BLUE EYES: The Night's King featured regularly
REBIRTH: Daenerys walked out of the flames with her dragons
Jaime Lannister then killed the Mad King, earning himself the title of King Slayer, while shadows make it look like Aerys had sprouted dragon wings.
It had been said that he intended to burn the city and rise from the ashes like a dragon, and like his daughter Daenerys did.
Her rebirth scene was in the flashback, as was glimpses of a dragon – possibly Drogon – soaring above King's Landing.
GREEN FLAMES: Aerys laced King's Landing with Wildfire
SAD TIMES: Bran was reminded of some depressing moments
Does this mean the Khaleesi will finally head to Westeros and try and take the Iron Throne?
The Night King was seen turning Craster's babies into White Walkers as well as the battle at Hardhome between the Wights and the wildlings.
The White Walkers featured often, including the time Sam saw them in season two and more recently when Bran was grabbed by the Night's King (which led to Hodor's tragic death).
TOWER OF JOY: The scene with young Ned Stark and his bloody hand was most intriguing
KING SLAYER: Jaime Lannister murdered the Mad King
Bran got to relive the accident that paralysed him as well as the deaths of his father, mother and brother – not that anyone needed reminding of the Red Wedding.
But most interestingly, he saw young Ned again, asking "Where's my sister?" before a shot of his hand, a woman's hand and a huge puddle of blood… Lyanna's perhaps?
Game of Thrones continues on Monday at 9pm on Sky Atlantic.
