Of all the character interactions between the seven heroes, the one that really stood out (beyond humorous purposes) was the one with Jorah and Jon.

Jon did what he probably should've done last week (or during the boat ride up, maybe) and discussed how he has Longclaw, which by right belongs to House Mormont, and offers it back to Jorah.

It makes for a scene full of pathos, with Iain Glen particularly excelling - he's one of the real MVPs of the episode - and leads to Jon confronting his future, something he's never done much beyond the fight with the Night King. We also saw them touchingly reminisce about Jeor Mormont, and all of this paid off when Jorah stepped in to help save Jon during the battle.
