Next week: the Queen of the Ashes is startled to find that the Iron Throne has melted, and Bran goes on one last warg.
There you go, make of that as you will.

Jon confronts Dany. Greyworm gets all butt-blasted and bares steel to Jon. Jon Kills GreyWorm. Dany loses it and tries to "Dracarys" Jon. Command not Recognized. Tries again. Cut to warged eyes. While she is distracted by looking at Drogon, Jon kills Dany. Bran lets Drogon go. Dragon comes to only to see Dany dead. Freaks, grabs her, and hightails out of there.
This all happens during Tyrions trial. Jon sticks up for Tyrion because he remembers the advice he gave him on the wall all those years back.
Bran becomes king because who on earth wants to fuck with someone who can weirnet into a Dragon from anywhere?
Expectations subverted.
In the books dragons are supposed to have human level intelligence and cant easily be warged. They're also supposed to have scales stronger than steel. Thats why its going to play out this way.
That would at least include the leak about Drogon grabbing Dany's dead body and flying off. I like this. RIP Grey Worm though, but he's a dead man anyway.
and if all of the starks are present, I can see the de-facto warden of the North, Sansa, saying, "well, that escalated quickly! Tyrion, you're free to go." and he ends up on Bran's council as a result.
