It may have only seemed like haunting background music at the time, but Podrick's rendition of Jenny's Song on Game of Thrones could actually be a major foreshadowing about the future of Jon Snow and Daenarys Targaryen's relationship.
The Easter egg from the books the show is based on popped up towards the end of the episode when several knights, including Jaime and Tyrion Lannister, Brienne of Tarth, Pod, Davos Seaworth and Tormund Giantsbane, are all sharing a drink together as they wait out what's possibly their last night on earth.
When Tyrion requests a song, Pod steps up to the plate, singing mournfully: "High in the halls of the kings who are gone. Jenny would dance with her ghosts. The ones she had lost and the ones she had found. The ones who had loved her the most."
A cover of that same song, performed by Florence and the Machine, also played during the closing credits of episode two.
The haunting tune is about a woman named Jenny and her prince, Duncan Targaryen — who happens to be Dany's great uncle.
Here's where the story gets a bit complicated: Duncan Targaryen — not Dany's father, Mad King Aerys, — was actually first in the line of succession but gave up his claim to the Iron Throne to marry a woman named Jenny of Oldstones.
Sound familiar? Well, given that we now know Jon is actually a Targaryen (and actually the first male heir to the Iron Throne) this may well foreshadow what is going to happen — that he may forfeit his claim to the throne through his love for Dany.
But that isn't likely to provide a happy ending for Dany. The sombre words, about "kings who are gone" and Jenny dancing "with her ghosts", suggests she could end up the lone survivor of the entire series, left with nothing but memories of her loved ones.
Pod's performance comes to an end just moments before Jon finally reveals the truth about his identity — further linking their romance to Jenny's Song.
The third episode of Game of Thrones will air next Monday.
