Jon and his allies would have been crushed under the weight of collapsing bodies had it not been for the Vale's last-minute arrival. Over time, Jon understands that Daenerys is unlikely to stray from her authoritarian politics, leaving him to fulfill the most difficult task of all. Countless lives are lost in the subsequent Battle of Winterfell, including major characters like Melisandre and Jorah Mormont. Jaime assures Bran that he has nothing to worry about, but then pushes the boy out of a tall tower. The incestuous relationship between Jaime and Cersei is a taxing burden to hide. On the other hand, Game of Thrones sheathes its pen in favor of the sword whenever words aren't enough to satisfy the action requirements for a given scene.
