The Night King - or at least his army - have destroyed House Umber and wiped out everyone at Last Hearth. They're well and truly on the move now, so you have to wonder what comes next?

There are still some castles and towns on the way before they get to Winterfell, so will they lay waste to each of those? Karhold would make sense as the next target, based on what we see here: like with Ned Umber, Jon quite pointedly gave Karhold to Alys Karstark in Season 7, so things don't sound good for her.

Even then, however, that's something the wights and a few White Walker lieutenants can take care of, and we still don't know where the Night King is or what he's up to right now.
