But not before we get a glimpse into Hodor's past and how he became who he is. Cast & Crew Peter Dinklage Tyrion Lannister Lena Headey Queen Cersei Lannister Emilia Clarke Daenerys Targaryen Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Ser Jaime Lannister. How fitting that the episode ends with the Walkers surrounding the cave along with the Night King - livened by one of Bran's visions - and executing a massacre killing the Three-Eyed Raven, a few Children, and beloved Hodor ( Kristian Nairn).

And, crucially, we learn the origin story of the White Walkers: that they were created by the Children of the Forest as weapons. Red Priestess Kinvara (Ania Bukstein) meets with Varys and reminds him of his trauma (a lot of that in this episode) while pledging assistance to a newly empowered Dany.

Arya vies to prove her loyalty in Braavos by killing an actress - but, in turn, must watch a theatrical reenactment of season 1's events, namely the death of her father. Need we say more? Okay, fine: Before leaving Castle Black, Jon and Sansa visit Littlefinger and offer support Sansa also forces Littlefinger to confront the reality of her trauma.
