Warning: spoilers ahead for Sunday's episode of "Game of Thrones,""The Broken Man."
"Game of Thrones" threw in a few major twists this week.
At the top, the return of Sandor Clegane aka The Hound (Rory McCann), a who's who of houses historically pledged to the Starks, a welcome return to form for Queen Margaery (Natalie Dormer), and a harrowing cliffhanger for Arya Stark (Maisie Williams).
Then there was the standoff at Riverrun.
With all that to pay attention to, there may have been some details that viewers didn't catch.

Did you feel like something was missing?
This week's episode started very differently. It went right into the episode, delaying the series' award-winning introductory title sequence. This is extremely rare of the show to do. Yes, it gave fans a nice start with The Hound's return at the top of the episode. But there was some head-scratching about where it went... until it played a little later.
The Hound's return paves the way for a very popular fan theory.
The Hound's survival means that a very popular theory may actually happen. Referred to as Cleganebowl, the theory basically says that a priest (here played by Ian McShane, though he was more like a cult leader) saved The Hound from his mortal wounds. He then sets off for a destiny that sees him locking swords with his brother, Gregor Glegane aka The Mountain (Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson), in a trial by combat.
What that Rose from Margaery means.
The rose (or more specifically "a golden rose on a green field") is the sigil of the House Tyrell. By giving her grandmother a note with their family's symbol on it, Margaery communicated that she hadn't drunk the High Sparrow's Kool-Aid after all.
