HBO has released this week’s group of photos from next Sunday’s new episode of Game of Thrones. The season’s sixth episode, “Blood of My Blood,” will feature the introduction of Samwell Tarly’s estranged family, the Lannisters and Tyrells facing off against the High Sparrow, and more time with Arya’s new assignment in Braavos.

Official episode synopsis: An old foe comes back into the picture. Gilly meets Sam’s family. Arya faces a difficult choice. Jaime faces off against the High Sparrow.

Update 5/27: We’ve added several more photos!

Photos below the cut!

The High Sparrow, Septa Unella and Margaery Tyrell on the steps of the sept of Baelor:

Jaime Lannister, from the same scene or nearabouts- he’s mounted up and ready to take on the Faith Militant:

Daenerys and Daario, from the moment we spotted in the episode 6 trailer, when she declares that she takes what is hers (presumably with fire and blood):

King Tommen pays the High Sparrow another visit, and I’m guessing he is still way over his head when it comes to the tricky clergyman:

Essie Davis returns as Arya’s target, the actress Lady Crane:



Not the most exciting or surprising batch of photos, I’ll grant, but then last week’s photos weren’t either, and what an episode that was!

Update 5/27: MissMalini.com has several more photos, particularly of the sept confrontation. Thanks to Diana for the heads up!

We can get closer looks at Brother Lancel (formerly Lannister) and Queen Margaery in these new photos.

Good ol’ Septa Unella, bringing the fun with the Shame Bell!

The play Arya is watching this time? Looks like Joffrey’s poisoning- no wonder Arya is smiling!
