3. Jon Struggles With The Revelation

After he was told of his true parentage, Jon is going to have a lot on his mind, inevitably and the trailer suggests that he's wrestling with the revelation.

It's still not entirely clear whether he fully believes it or - if he does - whether he even plans to do anything about it, since he calls plotting to have him be king is treasonous already. But there's one shot in particular of him in the Stark tomb that suggests he's playing it over.

Why else would he be down there than to implore Ned Stark's bones for the truth? It's a symbolic place of transition and revelation (at least in this show) and, again, being literally surrounded by Stark skeletons matches the fact that he literally is one in another sense.
