The fourth episode of "Game of Thrones" season six aired Sunday, bringing the death, destruction, and nudity most fans have come to expect from the series. Among the many emotionally charged scenes was a look at Margaery and Loras Tyrell — both of whom have been imprisoned by the Faith Militant for a chunk of the past several episodes.

Margaery and Loras' dear grandmother, Olenna "Queen of Thorns" Tyrell, agreed to ally with Cersei Lannister in order to break her grandchildren out of the Faith's prison. For now the plan is to bring the Tyrell army into King's Landing and stop the High Sparrow from parading Margaery through the streets naked. 

Whether or not they will succeed is a major question. Tommen has held back from attacking the High Sparrow thus far because he believed it would put Margaery's life in danger. Well, thanks to a behind-the-scenes interview clip, fans no longer need to worry about Margaery's safety for the time being.

Take a look at Natalie Dormer (Margaery) on set:

She's clearly costumed for a non-prison cell scene. Her hair has been washed and styled, and she's wearing a dress we've never seen on the character before. The turtleneck and long sleeves are a new, modest look for Margaery. Clearly this is Dormer wearing an outfit for a post-prison scene. 

So Margaery is definitely making it out of prison and into a new dress. Plus, her hair looks intact. If she was forced to do a "walk of atonement," surely the High Sparrow would have ordered her hair to be shorn just like Cersei's. 

But what about Loras? Finn Jones (Loras) is featured in this clip as well — and unlike his sister, he's sporting a new haircut.

Margaery was arrested for lying on her brother's behalf. Loras was arrested for fornicating with a man ("buggery") — perhaps he's the only one who will be forced on a walk of shame. His hair is cut short just like Cersei's, and he's wearing a ragged tunic. This points to him being worse for the wear, whereas Dormer/Margaery looks comfortable and out of harm's way.

As we watch the events unfold in coming episodes, we'll see exactly what transpires to get the Tyrell siblings into these varied states of dress. In the meantime, watch the full clip below for an extended look at their new stylings:
