4. The Tower of Joy
The Tower of Joy scene we’ve all been waiting for was teased during Episode 3. It wasn’t until this season’s finale, however, that our questions about the Tower of Joy were finally answered. With hearts pounding, we watched as Lyanna Stark whispered to a young Ned Stark, insisting he make her a promise. At that moment, one we’ve all been waiting for, a baby appeared. A baby, which rumour suggests, Ned would take back to Winterfell, claim was his own, and name Jon Snow.
Even though a lot of book readers had guessed this would happen, it was no less shocking to see the R + L = J theory actually verified. This means Jon Snow is, in fact, the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen, and therefore, Daenerys’ nephew.
