Game of Thrones‘ second episode of season eight, “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” didn’t feature anyone dying or being turned into a zombie, or even any dragons. And we loved it. We weren’t the only ones either. These are Twitter’s best reactions to highlights like Brienne’s knighting, Arya and Gendry’s intimate moment, the long-awaited but brief return of Ghost, Jon dropping a truth bomb on Daenerys, and more.
Me loving every moment of this week’s episode knowing I’m going to be emotionally destroyed next week #GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/IG8hcni8mV

Did you tear up when Jaime made Brienne the first female knight in the history of the Seven Kingdoms? If not you might be the only one.
Jaime really made Brienne an official knight and the way she led out that big smile… she deserves this so much? #GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/HNGD9O9QFh

When #GOT gives us:
Arya + Gendry
Sansa + Theon
Greyworm + Missandei
Sam + Gilly
Sansa + Dany
Lannister Brothers Reunion
Mormont Fam Reunion
Tormund + The Giant’s Wife
Aegon + Daenerys
But all I can think about is…“Arise, Brienne of Tarth. Knight of the Seven Kingdoms!” Yas! pic.twitter.com/rZxuKya5vV

While Jaime and Brienne made fans cry, Arya and Gendry elicited very different reactions.

The part of the episode that garnered the best reactions was the unheralded return of Ghost, Jon’s direwolf who has been missing for roughly 17 seasons.

all i want from this season of game of thrones is for somebody to pet ghost. just give him a nice pat on the head or an ear scratch or two.
honestly if the night king can offer belly rubs i wouldn’t even be mad if he switched sides

You would think being a Queen of people who hate you while an army of ice demons marches towards you would be as bad as it gets, but Jon Snow and the worst-timed conversation in history proved things can always be worse for Daenerys.

It’s too bad Daenerys didn’t get to hear Podrick sing. It definitely would have cheered her up.

Of course, a powerful episode focused on characters’ relationships comes with a catch – a catch the size of an army of the dead. And we know what that means for next week.
me realizing we’ve seen all these good scenes because half of our faves will probably die in the next episode #gameofthrones pic.twitter.com/r1R684fsN8

Bran: “The things we do for love”
Me: how could this episode get better? It literally can’t.
*rare footage of ghost*
*the hound gets sentimental*
*arya gets hers*
*SER Brienne*
*Missandi and Greyworm 4EVA*
*Podrick has pipes*

We have a feeling the reactions to next week’s Battle of Winterfell won’t be nearly as funny.
