Game of Thrones Season 7 has already been bonkers, but we all know that the showrunners like to save the real action for the penultimate episode of the season, which is why this Sunday's episode 6, "Beyond the Wall," is going to be even more eventful than the past few weeks.

HBO has released the first batch of photos from "Beyond the Wall," mere hours after episode 6 was accidentally leaked online ahead of the show's official airing. But judging by the record-breaking ratings for episode 4 -- which was also illegally released before its airdate -- that probably won't put a dent in the show's viewership.

The biggest revelation in the new episode 6 photos seems to be that Daenerys is heading somewhere that would necessitate some unusual camouflage gear, in a color she doesn't usually wear -- where on earth might she need to blend in with white surroundings, I wonder?

We already know from the ominous teaser trailer for "Beyond the Wall" that Jon's band of merry men is about to be besieged by the Night King's army of undead wights in numbers that will make Hardhome look like a kindergartener's birthday party.

This sure looks like a bunch of fellas surrounded on all sides by a horde of zombies, huh?

HBO has also released individual shots of some of our favorites, including Ser Jorah, who is forbidden from dying because he only just reunited with Dany after being cured of greyscale, and WE CAN'T TAKE IT.

Also poor Tormund, who needs more scenes of unrequited lust with Brienne, because it's one of the few joys we have left in the world.

This guy's probably important too, I guess.

The Magnificent Seven have nothing on this posse.

Just two dudes who were raised from the dead, most likely sharing uplifting stories about the crushing nothingness they experienced in the great beyond.

Jon looks worried, and given how often he's faced off with White Walkers and their wight henchmen up to this point, that's not a good sign.

We saw this shot of Beric Dondarrion in the Season 7 trailer, but it's just as epic here.

Back in Winterfell, things look frosty between Arya and Sansa -- is it because Arya has just confronted her sister about the incriminating letter Littlefinger planted for our favorite assassin to find last week? Probs.

Don't fall for it, Arya -- the lone wolf dies but the pack survives!

Paper hasn't brought Sansa much luck lately -- it looks too big to be from a raven, but maybe it's from Jon, updating her on his suicide mission to capture the wight. Which, again... isn't the best news.

Just don't kill any more of our darlings, guys!

Game of Thrones airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on HBO.
