With Cersei sitting on the Iron Throne, the wight is presented to the Lannister court. Cersei demands Jon's neutrality and storms off when he upholds his oath to Daenerys; Tyrion then meets with her, apparently gaining her alliance. Cersei reveals to Jaime that she instead intends to use the Golden Company of Braavos to secure her hold on Westeros and let the White Walkers destroy Daenerys and Jon's armies; disgusted, Jaime rides north to warn them. At Dragonstone, Theon wins his men's respect and leads them to rescue Yara. Aboard a northbound ship, Jon seeks out Daenerys and they become lovers. At Winterfell, Littlefinger works to increase the dissent between Arya and Sansa, but the sisters and Bran publicly accuse him of murdering Jon Arryn and Lysa and of treason against their father; deserted by the Lords of the Vale, Littlefinger is executed by Arya.
Samwell arrives and meets with Bran, and combining Sam's earlier information with Bran's visions, they realize Jon is Aegon Targaryen, the legitimate heir to the Iron Throne, born of the secret marriage of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark. At Eastwatch, the Night King, astride the undead Viserion, blasts a hole through the Wall with blue dragonfire, and the Army of the Dead marches through: winter is finally here.
