Game of Thrones S8E04 Explained

Winterfell burns its dead; celebrations follow as Daenerys grows threatened by Jon’s ancestry, while Jaime and Brienne sleep together. Euron ambushes Daenerys, destroys her fleet, kills her second dragon, and captures Missandei; Cersei later executes her. He sees the Night King as a device equalising forces, predicts Hound-Mountain and Jaime- Euron duels, and anticipates the finale.

He values tension but distrusts contrived plotting, repeatedly questioning why Cersei spares exposed enemies.
