The episode concludes with Jon Snow preparing to hang Ser Alliser, Olly, Othell Yarwyck, and Bowen Marsh for their mutiny against him. He confronts his "killers" one by one: Marsh says that it's not right that Snow is still alive, Yarwyck begs Jon to write to his family and tell them he died fighting the Wildlings rather than as a traitor, Alliser is unrepentant and assured that he made the right choice despite his failure, and finally, Olly simply stares down Jon with white-hot hated, which clearly unnerves him.

Jon then initiates the hanging, and the quartet promptly expire in a disturbing sequence, to the satisfaction of just about everyone watching. That's right, this show made us actively root for the death of a kid.
