Warning: Major spoilers for Game of Thrones season 8 episode 3 ahead.
Game of Thrones season eight, episode three still has us completely shooketh as the Battle of Winterfell delivered the biggest battle sequence of all time.
In perhaps one of the HBO show’s biggest twists to date, the Night King (played by Vladimir Furdik) was defeated and the world saved by none other than Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) and viewers are wondering if she used her faceless assassin skills.
Not that we ever doubted her, despite the Mary-Sue naysayers, but we were lead to believe that Jon (Kit Harington) would face him in the ultimate showdown.
It’s not entirely clear just how Arya managed got so close to the NK to deliver the fatal blow, but the episode set up her ability to be quiet and swift in combat really well.
She seemed to jump out of nowhere with viewers wondering how the other White Walkers let her slip through and get so dangerously close to their leader.
Well, it looks like she may have been disguised as a White Walker and honestly, that’s the best thing we’ve ever heard.
Taking to Twitter, one fan pointed out the lingering shot on one of the White Walkers just before Arya attacked the NK.
Fan India Parkman wrote: ‘So did anyone else notice this dude’s face glimmer?? Was Arya wearing a wight’s face?? #GameOfThrones.’
He’s a technically a White Walker not a wight but the point still stands.
Over on Reddit, the same question was brought up.
Carlossuberviola theorised: ‘When Melisandre tells Arya about her shutting blue eyes forever, she gives her a hint about her ability to transform into anything that she kills (even wights). The reason why Arya was able to appear out of nowhere and kill the Night King was that she was able to disguise herself as a wight and lead all the White Walkers into believing that she was part of their army.’
We have some questions about how she pulled this feat off so hopefully, we find out in episode four.
Game of Thrones season 8 continues on Sunday on HBO and Monday on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV.
