By poring over the text of the books, readers have known Jon Snow's secret parentage for years. Game of Thrones probably has more fan theories than characters. When contemplating the end of Game of Thrones-there are just six episodes left, the first premiering April 14-it's this climactic clash that will determine who sits on the Iron Throne, or if there's anyone alive left to sit on the Iron Throne at all. Instead, we end with the Night King's dragon tearing down the Wall, finally breaking the boundary between the armies of the dead and the living. Yet the final scene isn't about the warring kingdoms of Westeros. A new claimant to the Iron Throne emerges, as Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright) reveals Jon Snow's royal lineage and true name: Aegon Targaryen (Kit Harington).

Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) abandons Cersei (Lena Headey) after decisively defeating the Tyrells of Highgarden.

The Starks take back control of Winterfell, executing Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish (Aidan Gillen). The final episode of Game of Thrones' seventh season, "The Dragon and the Wolf," radically realigns the political landscape of Westeros.
