We knew. Then Jon knew. And now Daenerys knows. Jon Snow is Aegon Targaryen, son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, the rightful heir to the Iron Throne.

So what comes next?

While the scene in the crypts where Jon tells Dany the truth is expertly done, it's only half the job. They're interrupted by the horns signalling the arrival of White Walkers, and whatever big reaction Dany might've had will have to wait. But just what will that reaction be? We can already tell she isn't taking the news well, so will this spark a rivalry between her and Jon? Would she set aside her own claim for his, or expect him to do that for her?

And with all of these reveals, will anyone, ever, at all, focus on the fact that they are auntie and nephew?
