Speaking of the Night King, the question of how to kill him crops up this week. Jon may make it sound easy by saying kill him, you kill them all, but Arya rightly asks what will do the job, to which Jon doesn't have the answer.

Can he, like other White Walkers, simply be killed by dragonglass and Valyrian steel? Does it take dragonfire to kill him? Will even that do the trick? We've seen Walkers walk through fire, and seen the Night King himself next to dragonfire, but not an actual dragon raining fire upon him. Is that what it takes, or is the key something even more magical?
