Game Of Thrones Season 7: 8 Things You Might've Missed In 'Beyond The Wall'

3. House Of The Undying

Game of Thrones Daenerys House Of Undying
HBO

Daenerys goes to and beyond the Wall this week, the first time she's actually done so, but not the first time we've technically seen it happen.

Back in Season 2, Daenerys' vision at the House of Undying included her passing through the Wall into a snowstorm, which came not long after she heard one of her children screaming. Here, she passes over the Wall, and then has to watch one of her children die, and hear the dragons scream as it happens.

The House of Undying is where (in the books) we hear the prophecy that "the dragon has three-heads." And this episode completely subverts our notions about that, by giving the Night King one of the dragons, and likely making him the third dragonrider.
