A new promo for the next episode of Season 5 of Game of Thrones, "The Sons of the Harpy," has been released and it shows Tyrion, Daenerys, and a few other characters.

Check it out below:

Here's some of what we thought of the latest episode, "High Sparrow":

"Let's start in Westeros, as that's where the bulk of the action took place this week. In King's Landing, Margarey Tyrell married King Tommen to become the new queen. Tommen apparently isn't old enough to rule, but he is old enough to consummate the marriage with his new bride, who has her hooks so deeply into him that I'm surprised she's not literally wielding him like a puppet.

Margarey used their post-coital pillow talk to manipulate her new husband against her mother-in-law, Cersei Lannister. The new queen knows that Cersei is an evil shrew, and she's doing all she can to deport her to Casterly Rock so she can have King's Landing all to herself.

Cersei, of course, is too shrewd to just roll over, so she returned fire by trying to twist her son back to her side. After that exchange, she confronted Margarey directly in what was one of the most passive agressive dialogues in the history of this show. I felt like I was watching a family sitcom or a Real Housewives show, but I was loving every second of it.

The rest of Cersei's time in this episode dealt with the High Septor, who couldn't hold up the pillar of religion in Westeros because he was too busy in one of Littlefinger's brothels. This didn't sit well with the Sparrows, who assaulted the high priest and forced him to wander the streets naked.

But rather than aid the religious leader, Cersei elected to throw him in jail and forge an alliance with the High Sparrow instead. We're all waiting to see Cersei get what's coming to her (and in some ways, she already has), but it's always intriguing to watch her plot and scheme and set her plans in motion. Her choice here will likely become clear sooner rather than later.

Further north, Littlefinger brought Sansa Stark to Roose Bolton (the man who killed her brother, Robb) to marry his son, the completely psychotic Ramsay. Fans of the book have been freaking out about this because, in George R.R. Martin's original work, the plot involves a woman who looks like Sansa and pretends to be here. On the show, the actual Stark daughter is set to wed Ramsay."
