4. Stark Reunion

The feels. Jon and Sansa weren't particularly close; heck, we never got to see them share any significant screentime before now, and yet their reunion is still an incredibly joyous, emotional, and rather lovely moment, not just for the characters but the viewers as well.

The Starks have been separated for so long, and suffered a number of near-misses, that it meant so much more when they were reunited. The pair never interacted, yet here you'd think so were always incredibly close, and they bring out the best in each other:Jon cracks a joke (his second since coming back, so death has definitely changed him), and Sansa apologies for the way she treated him, and also displays just how much she's grown since they were separated, and how much she's learnt.

Sophie Turner is one of the MVPs of Season 6 so far, and that was definitely the case here, bringing the depth and strength that's gradually been building up over the years and starting to put to to good use.
