Game Of Thrones Season 7: 12 Big Questions After 'The Queen's Justice'

5. (How/When) Will Bran Tell Jon About His Parentage?

While the initial reunion of Sansa and Bran was sweet, it soon became bitter. Bran isn't recognisably himself anymore, as he is now the Three-Eyed Raven. It's obviously a lot to deal with, what with seeing all of time, but nonetheless feels too weird and creepy, especially with his remarks about Sansa's wedding night.

However, Bran does have a much bigger role to play than that, perhaps a bigger role than anyone, but the next big checkpoint for him will be a reunion with Jon. It's his 'brother' whom he says he needs to speak to, so does that mean we will indeed be getting the R+L=J reveal t Jon from Bran?

That's as expected, but if it does happen, how will it occur? Is he going to say it emotionlessly like he speaks to Sansa, or will he have things under more control by then? Will Jon even believe him (it'd be ironic if he didn't, given he's doing so much to convince people of something unbelievable himself)?

There's also the matter of when it'll happen. We know Jon goes to fight the White Walkers, but will he stop off at Winterfell en route? Or is the truth going to be put off for another season?
