Warning: Full spoilers ahead for Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 3 “The Long Night.”
The Night King has finally met his end thanks to none other than Arya Stark -- and it’s a moment that the Game of Thrones showrunners have been building towards for a long time.
“For, god, I think it’s three years now we’ve known that it was gonna be Arya who delivers that fatal blow
,” executive producer and writer David Benioff said during the post-show “Inside the Episode” breakdown.
The Valryian steel Catspaw dagger can be traced all the way back to Season 1 where it was used by an assassin in an attempt to kill Bran Stark. It turned out the ornate blade belonged to Littlefinger, who tried to pin the assassination attempt on Tyrion. The dagger wound up back in Littlefinger’s possession, and he held it up to Ned Stark’s throat when he betrayed him to the Lannisters. The dagger was off-screen for a few years until it popped back up in Season 7 when Littlefinger gave it to Bran, and then finally Bran gave it to Arya.
