Sunday night's episode of "Game of Thrones" left viewers with a lot of questions for the remaining two episodes of the long-running series.
Did they really have to do that to Missandei? Is Jaime going to fight for Cersei or against her? And -- wait -- was that a Starbucks cup in front of Daenerys?
(MORE: 'Game of Thrones' recap: Daenerys and Cersei ready for the 'last war')The first part of the episode showed everyone up at Winterfell celebrating their (well, Arya's) victory over the Night King with lots of drinking, carousing and canoodling.
The latte that appeared in the episode was a mistake. Daenerys had ordered an herbal tea.
That sequence also set up the growing tension between Daenerys and Jon Snow now that they both know Jon's true lineage. One scene shows Tormund quite literally splashing his praise on Jon, setting up the contrast between Jon and Daenerys, who has grown increasingly isolated.

"The latte that appeared in the episode was a mistake," HBO told ABC News. "Daenerys had ordered an herbal tea."
Fans quickly took to Twitter to see if others had seen what they saw.

The fact that there was a Starbucks cup in tonight’s Game of Thrones that no producers or editors noticed throughout multiple cuts merely 1 week after the DP yelled that the show’s not too dark to see is truly *chef’s kiss*

Some weren't quite as convinced.
I drink a lot of Starbucks, and while that cup definitely didn't belong in Westeros, that's definitely not a Starbucks cup.

The funny thing is it's not even a Starbucks cup, it's just the unbranded coffee cups they have on set 😂 pic.twitter.com/NfYmxoFVvU

Still, of course, fans came in with the jokes and art.
I'm gonna guess the Starbucks cup was a Giant's Milk Latte with extra foam and no way they spell Daenerys right pic.twitter.com/Cp49nwjyjG

With all the tweets about the Starbucks cup in the GoT scene, I decided to look throughout history and see if I could see Starbucks cups at some key points in time. I found cups at the murder of Julius Cesar, the birth of Christ, the inquisition, and signing of the declaration pic.twitter.com/G7RRfhx2Lb

Starbucks also took the time to playfully respond, mentioning its signature Dragon Drink on Twitter.
TBH we're surprised she didn't order a Dragon Drink.

Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz also responded, replying with a winking emoji to someone who said, "I think this means Howard Schultz is the Three Eyed Raven?"

But at the end of the day, fans recognized that while the possible gaffe was fun, we still need to find out who ends up on the Iron Throne at the end of all this.

There are two episodes left in "Game of Thrones" and many players are still in contention to end up on top. We're gonna need a lot more caffeine to keep up with the twists and turns.
