Brienne's not thrilled with this idea, as she doesn't think it's safe to leave Sansa alone with the ever-conniving Littlefinger. After receiving a raven inviting her to King's Landing, Sansa tells Brienne to go in her stead. It turns out that Sansa has a different mission for Brienne. Maybe Brienne could help, Littlefinger suggests, as she's sworn to protect both Stark girls.
Petyr says Arya would not betray Sansa, but she's not so sure. Sansa is worried about that, which she tells Petyr Baelish, aka Littlefinger. Arya's not one to stand down, and she accuses Sansa of fearing that the northern lords might read the letter and abandon her. After all, it was Sansa who recruited the army of the Vale to help Jon defeat Ramsay Bolton in the Battle of the Bastards. Sansa does not take kindly to Arya's accusations and tells her that she should be thanking her. Arya accuses Sansa of helping the Lannisters kill their father. However, the nice conversation between the two Stark sisters takes an abrupt turn when Arya reveals she has discovered the letter that Sansa wrote back in season 1 asking their brother Robb to pledge loyalty to King Joffrey. Really, it’s two massive dragon sequences, both of which are linked in death.Related: 'Game of Thrones': Who might betray their queen or king?Īrya and Sansa reminisce about their childhood and their father, Ned Stark. Entering “Beyond the Wall,” virtually everyone expected to lose at least one main character, if not many more. Of the main players who passed beyond the Wall at the end of “ Eastwatch,” only one of them lost their life: Thoros of Myr (Paul Kaye), afforded a relatively peaceful (and somewhat ironic) end as the fire priest froze to death - only after he was brutalized by a zombie bear, of course, but that’s neither here nor there. The rest of the hunting party emerged from the episode with their lives intact, which in and of itself would have been the biggest surprise of the hour, if not for the fact that an entirely different character lost his life: Viserion, one of Daenerys Targaryen’s three dragons. In what will go down as one of the most chilling scenes in Game of Thrones history, Daenerys and her fire-breathing children soared into the realm beyond the Wall in order to save Jon Snow and his allies, fulfilling one of the show’s core promises: ice versus fire, and plenty of it. Viewers will not soon forget the moment they first laid eyes upon dragons incinerating wights on a battlefield made of ice, nor will they forget the battle’s harrowing turn, as the Night King tossed a massive ice lance into the air and dropped a dragon from the sky.
The elation of Daenerys flying in to rescue Jon, just in the nick of time, is matched only by the sheer horror of watching one of her dragons bleed out from high above, dropping and sinking into the frozen waters below. 'Game of Thrones'' Gruesome Deaths: From Robert Baratheon to Lyanna StarkĪs if Viserion’s death wasn’t traumatic enough for both Daenerys and viewers alike, the Night King added devastating insult to injury mere moments later. In the final scene of the episode, the White Walkers’ resolute commander walked directly up to Viserion, placing his hand on the fallen beast’s snout (a haunting mirror image of Jon’s moment with Drogon last week), and raised it from the dead. That’s right: as if the White Walkers didn’t have enough power on their side already, now they also have an undead dragon in their possession.
Winter is here with an added twist of fire, and the forecast for all in Westeros includes torrential amounts of devastation. There are some silver linings in Viserion’s death and subsequent resurrection, including the fact that it seemingly answers one of the show’s longest-running riddles: “The dragon has three heads.” Most fans agreed Daenerys and Jon were two of the prophesied characters who would ride dragons by the end of the series, but there has never been a clean common consensus on the third dragon rider.
