Please refrain from including spoilers in any of the content you publish. Adding *Spoiler alert* does not prevent it from being a spoiler. Discussing fan theories and predictions of what may happen in future episodes are not considered spoilers.

         This is the best way to stay safe online and protect yourself from illegal phishing and scams.
