( CNN ) -- `` Game of Thrones '' is heading into its season four finale with some pretty large expectations . Show runners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have already promised that Sunday 's season closer will be the series ' best yet , and Kit Harington -- aka Jon Snow -- is making that same bet . `` I think this could be one of the best episodes of 'Thrones ' we 've done , '' Harington said at a June 11 screening of his new movie , `` How To Train Your Dragon 2 . '' `` Usually the big impact episode is ( the ninth ) , and then we wrap everything up in the 10th . But this show does n't like doing what people think is going to happen ; we like changing things up , and it 's a lot that happens in this episode . It 's going to throw a lot of people , it 's going to be very exciting . '' On `` Game of Thrones , '' `` exciting '' can also be a stand-in for `` bloody '' and `` heartbreaking , '' and chances are Harington 's tease will just make fans more nervous for season four 's final hour . Eerily titled `` The Children , '' the 10th episode has a lot to wrap up . The penultimate episode , June 8 's action-packed `` The Watchers on the Wall , '' was focused entirely on Castle Black up at the Wall , making room for several questions leading into the finale . To begin with , most fans want to know what will happen to Peter Dinklage 's Tyrion , who 's going into episode 10 staring down a death sentence . As one of the series ' most essential characters -- both for his centrality to the story and because of the welcome balance he brings -- it 's hard to imagine Tyrion meeting this unjust fate , but `` men meeting unjust fates '' could be another tagline for `` Game of Thrones . '' There 's also the question of where Arya Stark and the Hound will go from here , now that they 've learned the woman they 've been searching for this season is dead . ( Cue poor orphaned Arya 's giggle-fit . ) Will they continue their strange mentor-mentee relationship , and if so , what 's their next destination ? Meanwhile in Meereen , Daenerys Targaryen is now without her most-trusted adviser , Jorah Mormont , but she still has those dragons -- so what 's the next step in her game plan ? The promo for the season finale hints that at least Bran will find what he 's been searching for on his ( seemingly endless ) vision quest , but reveals little else about what 's to come for the rest of the crew . ( There is another hint that Arya and the Hound may have a face-off with some unwelcome visitors , which might not bode well for the Hound and his neck wound . ) As for Jon Snow , he 's `` focused on being a leader '' when episode 10 picks up , Harington teased to Elle magazine . After losing his wildling love , Ygritte , in episode nine , Snow is `` a much colder person after this . He loses a lot of whatever warmth he had , which , let 's face it , was n't a lot . There 's a lot of lessons he 's learned in this last episode about doing what you need to do to survive and surviving past losing your love is one of those things . At the beginning of episode 10 you see a very broken man . '' And , contrary to popular belief , Snow does know something , the actor added . `` He 's not naÃ¯ve . He knew there was the possibility of seeing her die or her seeing him die at the battle . You know that thing when you break up with someone and you 're walking around the town where you both live and you 're just really hoping to see them ? You know that you 're not supposed to see them , but there 's nothing you want more . '' Basically , Jon Snow could n't quit Ygritte , kind of like how we ca n't quit `` Game of Thrones '' no matter how many heads explode . Yet it does n't seem we have to worry about the `` traitor bastard 's '' head being on the chopping block . Next up for Harington , the actor said , is `` doing 'Thrones ' season five . '' CNN 's Joan Yeam contributed to this report .
Show runners and star say the season One finale is the best yet . It will have to answer a lot of questions after episode four . four thing is clear : the actor playing Jorah Mormont is headed for the 10th .
