Game Of Thrones: 12 Questions We’re Asking After 'Mother's Mercy'

2. Where Was Ghost?

Okay, it's been delayed long enough, it's finally time to acknowledge that Jon Snow is dead, but where was his trusty companion this time? Ghost the direwolf has been a trusty friend of Jon's throughout the entire run of the show, and has learned how to appear in the right place at the right time for several 'close call' moments. In fact, he even showed up when Sam and Gilly got into trouble. But as Alliser Thorne, the brothers and the despicable little Olly child plunged their knives into Jon, the direwolf was nowhere to be seen. You'd have imagined there'd be some sort of glance at the wolf, even if he couldn't spring to help. Does this simply mean that the animal is still caged up? And if so, what do they intend to do with it? Ghost is a killing machine, and intelligent. If he catches the sight of Jon's body, you don't want to get anywhere near his jaws.
