Cersei Lannister (played by Lena Headey) was shown the horror that could befall Westeros when a wight was captured and brought to her. But despite the absolute devastation the Night King (Vladimir Furdik) could cause, Cersei lied about sending the Lannister armies up north to help. The Queen’s tactic is to stay put in King’s Landing to fend off anyone who comes to claim her throne once the fighting is done in the north. However, one Game of Thrones fan has theorised the Night King may have a plan of his own that could destroy Cersei sooner rather than later.

Also in the debut episode, the Night King left an ominous message after destroying House Umber. At the end of the episode, Beric Dondarrion (Richard Dormer), Tormund Giantsbane (Kristofer Hivju) and their acquaintances set out to Last Hearth where they found a horrendous sight.
