This interview contains spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 8, episode 4, “The Last of the Starks.”
Jaime Lannister’s slow-burn relationship with Brienne of Tarth has been one of the most satisfying storylines in Game of Thrones throughout the show’s run, but in episode 4 of Season 8, just when it seems like the disgraced Kingslayer might finally be ready to embrace the possibility of a happy ending, he ends up sneaking out in the middle of the night to return to King’s Landing and his “hateful” sister, Cersei.
Luckily, Brienne wakes up and catches him before he leaves, allowing them a revealing (and potentially final) moment together. In the gut-wrenching scene, Brienne insists, “You’re not like your sister – you’re better than her. You’re a good man, you don’t need to die with her.”
