Game of Thrones played a bit of sexual politics on this week's "What is Dead May Never Die." Next Sunday, meanwhile, it will enter the "Garden of Bones."

Look for Daenerys to make her triumphant return on the upcoming episode, as she must stand strong in the face of a new enemy in order to save her people. Elsewhere, the rivalry between Tyrion and Joffrey will be taken up a few nauseating notches, thanks to what is likely the most disturbing scene I've ever witnessed on television.

Yes, I've already screened the installment - and it's my favorite of season two, culminating in an unexpected step taken by Stannis in his march toward the Iron Throne. A truly unexpected step. There will be plenty for us to debate after it airs.

Watch the official HBO trailer for the episode now:
