Daenerys hasn't had the best luck in conquering Westeros so far -- she's already lost all of her ships018 Archivesher three most powerful political alliances, and we're only three episodes into Season 7.

But as we see in the promo for episode 4, "The Spoils of War," it's obvious that Dany's done with "clever plans" (so meta) -- instead, it looks like she's going to take a leaf out of Cersei's playbook and burn this mother down.

As Tyrion pointed out this week, it's pretty risky for her to venture out with all of her dragons and no backup (wouldn't it be handy if she found two other secret Targaryen dragon-riders to help her out?) -- but maybe what Khaleesi needs is a little outside-the-box thinking to turn the tide against Cersei, who's now so confident in her position, she's not even trying to hide the fact that she's banging her brother from the servants anymore.

We've already seen a photo of Lannister soldiers on fire with Dany mounted on Drogon (and if you look really closely at the shot of Drogon in this trailer around the 0.26 mark, you might be able to spot a glint of blonde on his back), so we're looking forward to a toasty showdown between the Mother of Dragons and the Seducer of Sisters very soon.

In the meantime, we can't wait to see Dany take a romantic, torchlit stroll through the caves beneath Dragonstone with Jon Snow (and Missandei, but still), to admire some dragonglass and hopefully figure out that they're secretly related beforethey make out.

But that's not the only big deal hidden in the footage for next week's episode: Did you catch that blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot of Arya on horseback, gazing across the frosty plain at Winterfell?

Yes, our favorite lost wolf has come home to rejoin her pack!

Although she narrowly missed Jon -- which is the reunion we're all desperate to see -- at least she'll be able to catch up with Sansa and Bran (even though Bran is clearly no longer himself), and hopefully stick the pointy end of Needle into Littlefinger while she's at it.

Game of Thrones airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on HBO.
