6. Is Beric Now Doomed?

Beric Dondarrion had a hell of an episode - his best since Season 3's stunning Kissed By Fire - full of sage advice and flaming-sword awesomeness, but ultimately it didn't go well for him, as he lost not only his closest companion, but the man who brings him back from the dead.

It's even referenced in this episode how many times he's been brought back, but now that can't happen again, so is Beric doomed to die soon? It was a slight surprise he didn't die here, and maybe the Lord of Light has bigger things in mind.

His words certainly indicate that he wants to take on the Night King, which would surely end in a glorious death for him, so is that what's going to happen? He can't be brought back, and you'd think the reason for killing Thoros is that it means you can kill Beric for good too, though it's not yet clear when that'll be.
