So, "Game of Thrones" ended with a fiery reveal last night. 
 
 SPOILERS AHEAD 
 
 Instead of letting Ser Jorah and Daario Naharis rescue her — or at least attempt to — Daenerys Targaryen, aka the Mother of Dragons, decided to use her powers to set herself free and subdue others ... forever. 
 
 Since fire cannot hurt her, she decided to burn down the temple of the Vaes Dothrak, with her and all those who oppose her inside. If there was any doubt that the Mother of Dragons could be hurt by flames, that's gone now! 
 
 Daenerys walks right out of the fire, naked and unhurt. The Dothraki all bow down to their new queen. 
 
 Clarke told Entertainment Weekly about the scene, "Every season I get at least one spine-chilling moment. I just stand up, and I go, 'I'm hearing what you're all saying, but funny thing, I'm going to kill you all. I forgot that I have an ace in my back pocket, and now I win.'" 
 
 Clarke opened up about adding new warriors to her growing crew. "She’s seemingly indestructible, having Dothraki on her side," she said. 
 
 If there was question about the nude portion of the scene, Clarke said, "This is all me, all proud, all strong. I'm just feeling genuinely happy I said yes. That ain't no body double!" ||||| *WARNING: This article contains major spoilers for Game of Thrones season 6, episode 4* 
 
 Well, fans of the original Game of Thrones books definitely didn't see that coming. No, really, how could they? Not when the events closing episode 4, "Book of the Stranger", embarked on such a huge deviation from the universe G.R.R. Martin had established for his novels. 
 
 Daenerys taught the Dothraki that she really isn't one to be messed with, killing every powerful Khal left by locking them inside the temple of Vaes Dothrak and lighting the whole thing on fire. You see, they didn't count on the great Khaleesi emerging from the flames unscathed; as her overlords burned and the Dothraki people bowed to her in awe. 
 
 Of course, this isn't the first flame-retardant Daenerys we've seen; having walked into Khal Drogo's pyre and emerged unscathed in the season one finale. However, George R.R. Martin has stated multiple times that the Targaryens are not immune to fire; with Daenerys' survival in the pyre acting as a one-time occurrence connected to the magic aroused from both the dragon eggs and the burning witch Mirri Maz Duur. 
 
 Who is Azor Ahai? 
 
 We already received a brief hint that Daenerys was fireproof during season 2: while rescuing her from the House of Undying, one of her dragons is seen to fire a jet of flame straight through her and into her captor. Yet, this week's sheer magnitude of indestructibility went a touch too far for a lot of book fans, frustrated that they've now been incorrectly admonishing the opinions of the show's fans for years. 
 
 
 
 Once again, the show makes people believe that Targs are immune to fire when they aren't at all in the books #GameofThrones — GhostOfFuckboi'sPast (@NattyBiitch) May 16, 2016

 DAENERYS IS NOT IMMUNE TO FIRE I'M SO ANGRY AT THIS MISUNDERSTANDING OF CRUCIAL LORE — allison (@hotgirlagro) May 16, 2016 
 
 
 
 Game of Thrones airs on Sunday nights in the US, at 9PM on HBO; and will be simulcast at 2AM on Sky Atlantic in the UK. ||||| Notice: This post contains a spoiler from Sunday’s Game of Thrones, “Book of the Stranger”… 
 
 Daenerys Targaryen added another spectacular feat to her legendary history on Sunday night’s Game of Thrones. She not only escaped her Dothraki captors, but also brought the house down — literally — with an epic fire-goddess scene that reminded everyone the Mother of Dragons is not to be trifled with. 
 
 While fans have assumed Dany would somehow eventually escape her confinement at Vaes Dothrak, the most common prediction was that Ser Jorah and Daario Naharis would simply smuggle her out, or that Drogon would swoop down to torch her enemies like at the end of season 5. But showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss concocted a far more clever, shocking, and character-driven twist. 
 
 As Clarke excitedly describes the scene to EW: “It’s so exciting, very tingly-making. Every season I get at least one spine-chilling moment. I just stand up and I go, ‘I’m hearing what you’re all saying, but funny thing, I’m going to kill you all. I forgot that I have an ace in my back pocket and now I win.’” 
 
 It’s long been assumed Dany is fireproof through some magical Targaryen bond with her dragons. We saw in the pilot that she walks into a scalding bath; later, she declares, “He was no dragon; fire cannot kill a dragon,” after her brother perishes; and eventually, she emerges Unburnt from her dragons’ birth. (In George R.R. Martin’s novels, however, Dany’s fire-immunity was apparently a one-time thing, the author has suggested.) In a way, being fireproof has been Dany’s covert superpower since the show launched.

 “That’s what’s most fun about this,” Weiss says. “You know from the first season that, as you say, it’s her ‘superpower,’ but this is not really that type of story. It’s almost like the revelation she had when Jorah and Daario come to the rescue. She’s like, ‘Wait, I can do something none of these people can do and now that these two people can help me, I can use that to my advantage.’ It’s a very simple solution, a plan where you can use three people to take out dozens in a very dramatic way by just lighting things on fire and standing there.” 
 
 And by taking out the Dothraki leadership and showing her power to their followers, the queen of Meereen potentially gains an even larger army. “She realizes that this is the missing piece,” Clarke says. “The Dothraki are the missing piece of her crew — she’s seemingly indestructible having Dothraki on her side.” 
 
 HBO 
 
 But before any assumptions are made about Clarke’s participation in the scene, there’s something the actress wants everybody to know. “I’d like to remind people the last time I took my clothes off was season 3,” she says. “That was awhile ago. It’s now season 6. But this is all me, all proud, all strong. I’m just feeling genuinely happy I said ‘Yes.’ That ain’t no body double!” 
 
 The production took pains to shoot Clarke’s portion of the scene on a private “closed set” in Belfast, while the rest of the sequence with the Dothraki actors was shot at the Vaes Dothrak village set constructed in the desert in Spain. Clarke said the set-up was preferable to, for instance, when Dany’s clothes were scorched off at the end of season 1. “Taking off my clothes is not the easiest thing, but with the magic of the effects, I don’t have to do a season 1 and go on a cliff and do it,” she notes. “I’m in control of it.” 
 
 After seeing the sequence cut together a couple months ago, Benioff said: “Emilia absolutely crushed it. It’s one of those weird scenes because it was half shot in Spain, half in Belfast. But largely due to her performance, it works brilliantly.”

 It’s easy to understand why Clarke is being proactive and open about her feelings about the scene. Thrones actress Oona Chaplin once claimed an actress on the hit show didn’t like doing nude scenes (which some outlets just assumed was Clarke). Then last year a tabloid report claimed Clarke said she didn’t like doing sex scenes — which Clarke took to Instagram to correct. 
 
 “It’s difficult to be misquoted and it’s nice to have something like Instagram to say the truth,” Clarke says. “How many times has [Daario actor] Michiel Huisman been asked about the fact he’s taken his clothes off a bunch? Is that even a discussion? No. So I’m doing it this year and people can talk about it and I’m ready to answer any questions about it, basically.”

– Those not up to date on the latest Game of Thrones episode should stop reading now. But for those who saw Daenerys Targaryen escape her Dothraki captors by walking through fire and emerging "naked and unhurt," in the words of ABC News, actress Emilia Clarke has something to add: "That ain't no body double," she tells Entertainment Weekly. “I’d like to remind people the last time I took my clothes off was season 3,” she says. “That was awhile ago. It’s now season 6. But this is all me, all proud, all strong. I’m just feeling genuinely happy I said yes." Clarke sounds equally happy that the show found a way for her to gain new power as a leader by drawing on her dragon-esque ability to withstand fire. "Every season I get at least one spine-chilling moment," she tells EW. "I just stand up and I go, ‘I’m hearing what you’re all saying, but funny thing, I’m going to kill you all. I forgot that I have an ace in my back pocket and now I win.'" Meanwhile, devotees of the book think the show is taking too many liberties with this fireproof story line, notes the Independent.
