Four down, two to go. Tonight marks the second to last episode of arguably the biggest show to ever exist, Games of Thrones. If you want to be part of the office chatter and Twitter rants tomorrow, then you need to put in the time tonight. That’s where we come in with everything you need to know about how to watch Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 5.

Last week’s episode was a rough one, and not just because of that Starbucks cup. We lost one major character and one perfect dragon all thanks to a terrible battle plan from Dany. But throughout all the chaos, Episode 4 made one thing clear. GOT‘s next fight is going to be between two of its most intense ladies, Daenerys and Cersei. Who’s going to win it all? You’re going to have to watch to find out.

Fortunately Decider’s Meghan O’Keefe is here with the best Game of Thrones goss to hold you over before the night’s big showdown. From breaking down everything you probably missed in Episode 4 and George R.R. Martin’s least favorite part of the HBO show to why you shouldn’t be surprised when Dany burns down King’s Landing, she has your back. Are you secretly terrified that this finale will piss you off? Yeah, she has you covered there too. And if that’s still not enough for you, subscribe to Decider’s Game of Thrones pop-up newsletter. Now let’s see what that last dragon can do.

If you want to play with the last remaining dragon, your Sunday night needs to be open. Episode 5 of Game of Thrones premieres tonight, May 12 at 9/8c p.m. Be sure to keep most of your night open for this one. Instead of its typical hourlong runtime, this episode will last for an hour and 20 minutes.

However Game of Thrones isn’t the only giant HBO staple coming to an end this May. Tonight marks Veep‘s final episode ever. After Thrones is over, HBO is airing a new episode of Barry at 10:22/9:22c p.m. That will be followed by Veep‘s 43-minute series finale at 10:52/9:52c p.m. Last Week Tonight with John Oliver will then close out the night.
