Everything That Happened In 'Game Of Thrones' Season 8, Episode 3: The Battle Of Winterfell

It looks like all is lost. The Night King stands right in front of Bran, ready to finally take out the Three-Eyed Raven, when Arya leaps into the fray. The Night King grabs her around the neck and it looks like we're going to lose the first Stark since Rickon - until she utilizes a crafty move with her dagger that she showed off when sparring with Brienne last season. She drives her dagger into the Night King with her free hand and, just like that, the battle is over and the dead – including the turned Viserion – explode into ice.

Lyanna Mormont was a fan favorite from the second she appeared on the show. Viewers were worried about her odds during the battle – no matter how bad ass she is, she's still just a kid – and those fears proved warranted. But at least she went out like the Lyanna we knew and loved. Rather than keeling over and dying, she rushes a turned giant, and even as it crushes the life out of her, she manages to stick it through the eye with a dragonglass knife and kill it.

With Jon surrounded by the dead alone in a field, things seem dire until Dany lands and blows them all away. Jon yells that he needs to go for Bran, but before Dany can take back off on Drogon, the beast is covered in wights. In a state of panic, the dragon throws Dany from its back and takes flight. Things seem even worse for Dany alone in the field until Jorah shows up  swinging Heartsbane - the sword Sam gave him.

The two fight valiantly, but by the end of the battle, Jorah has too many injuries and dies in Dany's arms, under the wing of a returned Drogon.

Because of the blizzard, Dany can't see Davos's signal to light the trenches that encircle Winterfell. The people within the walls can count their blessings twice that Melisandre showed up because she braves the front lines and manages to set the trenches ablaze them with her magic – holding the wights at bay for a bit longer.

After Arya sneaks through the Winterfell library, she's nearly pulled down by a few wights in a hallway. Luckily, both the Hound and Beric happen to be in the same hallway. Beric throws his flaming sword at a wight, saving Arya, and the three pull each other to safety. Unfortunately, Beric takes more than a few blades when he's carrying Arya to safety and dies once the three are safely behind a heavy door.

In the Godswood, Theon has been protecting a warged Bran from the wights. He's doing a solid job of it, too, until the Night King shows up. Knowing the end has arrived, he turns to Bran – whom he took Winterfell from all those years ago – and the boy-turned-Three-Eyed-Raven tells him he is a good man. Theon charges the Night King, but the Night King swiftly kills him.
