Game Of Thrones Season 7 Finale: 10 Major Predictions For 'The Dragon And The Wolf'

3. Rhaegar Flashback

As soon as the title was revealed, my initial thought was 'RHAEGAR FLASHBACK', and it's going to be very disappointing if that now doesn't happen.

The Dragon And The Wolf does apply to Jon and Daenerys (and also just Jon, really), but it's also Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark. While we've seen Lyanna on the show, the series has never explicitly confirmed in-universe that Rhaegar is the father.

Since we got the Tower of Joy scene in the Season 6 finale, it'd nicely mirror that to have a Rhaegar reveal in the Season 7 finale. This could be a brief scene, such as the wedding that was mentioned - and then ignored - by Gilly to Sam earlier in this season. Even better, it could take us through more of their story, going from the Tourney at Harrenhal and him crowning her the Queen of Beauty, to the 'kidnapping', then the marriage and up to the point where she's locked in the tower (it'd be a lot to pack in, but oh-so worth it).

Whatever we get, the stage is set for Rhaegar to appear, and it'll be great to finally see him on the show, and have the proper confirmation that Rhaegar is Jon's father.
