Still on the reveal, a scene that always guts me on rewatch is from S1E2, Ned and Jon’s last together. When Ned tells Jon, “the next time I see you, I’ll tell you about your mother.” They’ll never see each other again, but it’s quite possible that this is the first time Jon has made his way down to the crypts and seen Ned’s statue. So in a way, this is the next time Ned sees Jon, and Sam tells him. Beautiful.
