HBO has released the first photos for Game of ThronesSeason 7,family Archives episode 5, "Eastwatch," which -- as we saw in the ominous teaser trailer -- will feature the Night King and his army of White Walkers on the move.

As The Hound revealed after his creepy vision in the season premiere, the wights are seemingly targeting the Night's Watch stronghold of Eastwatch-by-the-Sea, which is now being manned by Tormund and the Wildlings.

You wouldn't know it from these photos, though, since they mostly focus on the political intrigue going on between Daenerys, Jon, Tyrion, and Varys.

Tyrion is most assuredly shook after seeing the devastation caused by Drogon during the questionably-named "Loot Train Attack," which may have spelled doom for his brother Jaime (but probably didn't).

Would it be enough to make Tyrion turn on his queen? We don't buy it.

Meanwhile, Jon is wandering the cliffs at Dragonstone like a Westerosi Heathcliff, waiting for his secret auntcrushally to return from her deadly mission.

The promo for "Eastwatch" features an intriguing moment in which Jon comes face to face with Drogon for the first time, and we have a theory that it might signal his secret Targaryen heritage.

If Drogon treats Jon differently, when Dany's scaly offspring are generally super suspicious of interlopers, she's going to notice it.

Elsewhere, here's Cersei in an unfamiliar bedchamber. It looks wildly different from her usual King's Landing quarters, which have a much more mediterranean vibe, but maybe she's been redecorating in preparation for winter?
