Game of Thrones (GoT) is one of those shows where if you blink, you’ll miss it and if you just happened to close your eyes during last night’s episode, even for a lil micro-sleep, you may have missed this MAJOR detail.

You defo didn’t miss Varys being killed as punishment for betraying Daenerys though, right? Well what you might not have noticed is that Varys was basically on a homicidal rampage throughout the entire ep, albeit subtly.
‘Ave a go at the dialogue below and see if you can spot something suss:
Varys: “Nothing?”
Girl: “She won’t eat.”
Varys: “We’ll try again at supper.”
Girl: “I think they’re watching me.”
Varys: “Who?”
Girl: “Her soldiers.”
Varys: “Of course they are. That’s their job. What have I told you, Martha?”
Girl: “The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward.”
Varys: “Go on. They’ll be missing you in the kitchen.”
Considering we know he was already out for her blood, the fact that he was ~determined~ to get her to eat seems particularly suss. I mean, I doubt he was worried about her blood sugar issue.
Fans have since taken to Twitter to cast their aspersions on the subtle but important moment.
ICYMI, Varys totally tried to poison Dany at the beginning of the episode. The callbacks to season 1 are amazing:
Ned: Poison is a woman’s weapon.
Pycelle: Yes. Women, cravens… and eunuchs.Grand Maester Pycelle then mentioned Lord Varys just seconds later! 🤯#GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/TVbL2uVmdJ

So…. everyone else got this too right ?? Lord Varys was having Martha the little kitchen girl poison Danys food. She was nervous the guards were watching her, he reassured her by “Greater the risk, greater the reward“ #GamefThrones #GOT #HBO pic.twitter.com/QrigC5t7ON

The coffee cup, everyone spotted immediately, but Varys just ~casually~ trying to POISON Daenerys, almost everyone misses.
Look alive folks, we’ve only got one episode left and I’m sure it’ll be full of surprises.
