Cersei is presented with a wight, a member of the White Walker army, and agrees to fight alongside Daenerys and Jon, but with the condition that Jon bends the knee. Jon refuses, having already pledged his loyalty to Daenerys, and Cersei rejects helping them. However, Tyrion Lannister meets in private with Cersei, and is able to get her to change her mind and pledge her support to fight the White Walkers. Later, Jaime Lannister begins preparing the Lannister army, but Cersei stops him, revealing that she was lying about helping them, causing Jaime to leave in disgust and begin heading north. On Dragonstone, Theon Greyjoy commands the Ironborn loyal to his sister, Yara, to save her from Euron Greyjoy. At Winterfell, Littlefinger is found guilty of murder and treason, and executed by Arya Stark and Sansa Stark. Later, Samwell Tarly meets with Bran Stark who discuss Jon's birth, revealing his Targaryen lineage and naming him the true heir to the Iron Throne. Beyond the Wall, the White Walker army arrive at Eastwatch, along with the Night King riding on his wight dragon, Viserion, who demolishes a segment of the Wall, allowing the dead to pass into Westeros.",
