Game Of Thrones Season 8: 10 Huge Questions 'A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms' Leaves Behind

9. Will The Sansa/Daenerys Rivalry Continue After The Battle?

Sansa and Daenerys have got off on the wrong footing, to put it mildly, but they attempt to build some bridges in this episode. There's an explanation of both points of view, some shared laughs about Jon's height, and even a bit of hand holding. It's close, it's nice, they're getting along, and then Dany reiterates she will be Queen, and Sansa asks what about the North.

The relationship between them instantly freezes back over, before being cut short because of Theon's arrival at Winterfell. Their disputes are far from settled though, and speak to much broader issues with what will happen in Westeros if and when the White Walkers are dealt with.

Is this rivalry going to continue? And if so, which side is going to come out on top?
