Last night’s episode of the Action/Fantasy adventure series ‘Game of Thrones‘ may now stand as one of its most startling following a storyline which took its fans, including Black Twitter, by surprise.

How the influential group responded to an incident which involved one of the show’s black characters?

Spoilers, memes and digital gasps below…

The episode saw fan favourite Missandei (portrayed by the Caribbean actress Nathalie Emmanuel) slain by the super villain Cersei and mark the end of her time on the series.

Viewers simply did not know what to do with themselves.

Catch next week’s episode (its fifth in its final season) when it roars into action next Sunday!

We didn’t see it coming.

Rest in peace Missandei.
