Season 8, Episode 2 of Game of Thrones had its fair share of moments that could have given away hints for episodes to come, like in the writers' decision to include "Jenny's Song" or in Dany and Jon reaching the conclusion that they are related.

One fan theory about the fate of Westeros, however, comes from the previews for next week's episode.

The fan theory, posted by Reddit user IgnorantSportsFan, centers around one pivotal line uttered during a conversation between Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow--"The dead are already here."

While the cryptic message could be referring to the fact that the Night King and his army of White Walkers are arriving upon our favorite characters, the fan theory suggests it could mean the battle against the undead is taking place even closer to home--in the crypts.

"That line happens between Dany and Jon, and felt super significant - but we already see the army of the dead, felt it was too obvious to be their reaction to them," the theory begins."Then it clicked: The crypt is full of dead people. All episode they keep repeating and emphasizing how safe it was in the crypt, but its GOT and we cannot have nice things. So is it possible we have old Starks rising from the crypts? Or is that too far fetched?"

The theory certainly adds up, emphasized by the reminder that there were clips included of Arya Stark fighting in the crypts.

Could the crypts be the key to the return of the dead in addition to the White Walkers rapidly approaching? We'll find out soon.
