The fourth episode of the hit HBO series “Game of Thrones” is titled “Sons of the Harpy,” and as expected, Daenerys Targaryen will be facing some problems with her masked enemies. Also in this episode, the Sand Snakes will make their first appearance. [Spoiler Alert!]

As previously reported by the website Winter is Coming, the Sand Snakes make their first appearance on episode 4. Tyene, Obara and Nymeria all converge with Ellaria Sand in one of the first few scenes showing the Dornish lands.

Ellaria is out for blood but Prince Doran Martell does not wish to start a war on account of his brother Oberyn’s death. Oberyn’s paramour Ellaria and his daughters are expected to take matters into their own hands. Ellaria’s plan involves Myrcella Baratheon but it remains to be seen what her first move of revenge will be.

According to the official synopsis for episode 4 released by HBO, Jaime Lannister and Bronn will be making their way south. They are going to attempt to rescue Myrcella before Ellaria or anyone else from Dorne can use her as leverage against the crown.

Also mentioned in the synopsis are the faith militant. They are the armed members of the High Sparrow’s group of followers. After Cersei sent the High Septon to the dungeons in the previous episode, she approached the High Sparrow and attempted to form an alliance. In episode 4, the effects of this alliance will be seen as the newly revived faith militant gain power. In the episode trailer, members of the faith militant are seen standing defiantly against King Tommen and his gold cloaks. [video below]

Also in the promo video, the masked Sons of the Harpy are going on a killing spree. Chaos ensues in Meereen after Daenerys decided to execute one of the slave leaders in the previous episode. Daenerys has a war in her hands and she needs to find a way to bring peace to her city before she can even begin to dream of conquering Westeros.
