HBO has released a cache of official images from this Sunday’s upcoming episode of Game of Thrones! We’ve also got a title: “Beyond the Wall.” Nice and direct.

Let’s get to the images, starting with the ones not set beyond the Wall. There are a few, including a couple of Daenerys and Tyrion on Dragonstone.

Finally, here’s one of Beric Dondarrion telling Jon Snow a knock-knock joke and Jon trying to look interested:

“Beyond the Wall” airs this Sunday at 9:00 p.m. EST. Flame on.
