*Caution: Lots of spoilers ahead!

After “The Long Night,” and the Battle of Winterfell, it was going to be hard for “Game of Thrones” to top the madness and insanity of last week’s bloody war (unless, perhaps, they upped the brightness a bit).

So when it came to providing a scene that shook fans to their cores, the show turned to Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) and Jamie Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), who chose the relative post-White Walker calm to finally hook up.

Amid an ongoing flirtatious love triangle placing Brienne between the competing affections of Jamie and Tormund Giantsbane (Kristofer Hivju) — and Jamie’s years-long affair with his own sister, Cersei Lannister — the recently knighted warrior woman seemingly picked a side, and fans have a lot of feelings about the whole thing.

This week’s wild episode comes after last week’s wall-to-wall zombie combat that saw some of the most exciting and unexpected moments in the series thus far.
