6. Jon Assaults Littlefinger

A small but potentially very significant moment, Jon Snow assaults Littlefinger in the crypts of Winterfell, choke-slamming him into a wall. It's significant because of what it suggests about why Jon is doing it. They're in the crypts of Winterfell, and you can just about make out Lyanna's tomb in the background.

Littlefinger has been here before, and hinted at knowing more than he perhaps should about her and Rhaegar, while it's theorised this location will be where Jon discovers the truth. So maybe Littlefinger is saying a little too much about Jon's family? Either that, or it's to do with his corruption of Sansa.

It doesn't really matter either way though, because significant or not, the real reason it's here is because of how immensely gratifying it is. If anyone deserves a good beating, it's Petyr Baelish.
