Game Of Thrones Season 8 Breakdown: What 'A Knight Of Seven Kingdoms' REALLY Means

13. Bran Doesn't Tell (But Implies Jaime Will DO Something, Then Die)

As was widely speculated before the episode aired, Bran didn't tell the council at Winterfell about Jaime pushing him out of the window. That would have been a death sentence for him, as he was well aware, because there's no way Jon would have allowed it to fly.

When asked, Bran told Jaime that he was no longer Bran Stark and basically suggested that moment was a crossroads for both characters and a means for both to become the new characters they were now. So, in effect, every cloud has a silver lining. Every attempt at infanticide does some good. How very Game Of Thrones.

More intriguingly, Not Bran Anymore also tells Jaime that he "spared him" because otherwise he couldn't help them in the fight against the Night King. Now, by his own admission Jaime is not the fighter he once was and combining that with Bran's removal from normalcy suggests that The Three Eyed Raven knows something about the former Kingslayer's immediate value in the fight.

That endorsement means Jaime has something key to do. Unfortunately, Bran's chilling suggestion that there might not be something "after" probably means that Jaime is going to die too.
