• Teresa told Obara and Nymeria that the feared stranger was King Luke Stark.

Aolixilade rescued Gary from Garlan and consumed the newly born Maiden, while the Stranger betrayed Garlan and stole the Warrior’s divine power. Aolixilade planned to hide the Divine Body in Gary’s left eye and release Nawija to challenge R’hllor, then caught up with Gary and Daenerys as they fled.

• Gary and Daenerys slipped away, but Aolixilade found them and ran alongside them, saying they could not escape her mark.

Aolixilade told Gary that hatching the Primal Stone required sacrificing the Cold God, while warning that R'hllor would soon descend on Westeros. At the Wall, Jon Stark learned that the White Walkers were approaching and set out with Meera Reed and Jojen Reed to find the Three-Eyed Crow; in Dorne, Trystane became prince and gave the Sand Snakes command of a powerful force.

• Gary reached Castle Black and discovered from Ygritte that Jon Stark had taken two members of House Reed beyond the Wall toward the Frostfangs, leaving Gary furious and worried about the Three-Eyed Crow.

A dragon-winged girl destroyed the Three-Eyed Crow and the greenseer, while Jon abandoned his mission as wights closed in. The Wall collapsed, and Gary began evacuations and preparations for the White Walkers as he waited for Jon and the Children of the Forest.

• A black-cloaked girl claiming to act for Luke Stark drove Leaf, Green Grass, and Wind Spirit from the Three-Eyed Crow's cave, then burned the weirwood and the old man attached to it.
• Jojen lost the Three-Eyed Crow's guidance as Jon's small force struggled through wights, so Jon ordered a retreat to the Wall.

• Gary evacuated Castle Black after ice began falling from the Wall, which soon collapsed and killed Night's Watch members at other castles.
• Gary ordered the evacuation of settlements north of Winterfell, sent the wildlings to defend the Wolfswood, and told Daenerys to return to Winterfell while he waited for Jon and the others.

After the Wall was destroyed, Gary prepared to retreat to Winterfell with Jon and the Children of the Forest while trying to understand who had caused the collapse. In the south, Aegon VI allied with the Red God Temple, and displaced clergy of the Faith of the Seven considered seeking support from the King in the North.

• Teresa told Gary that Nawija, the Cold God, survived through sacrifices and that R'hllor was the only one who knew how Nawija came to be.

• Aegon VI welcomed Benerro and the Red God Temple's priests, accepted their demands to establish R'hllor's worship in Westeros, and secured their help against King's Landing and its two Dragons.
• After the Faith of the Seven was expelled from the Stormlands, its leader proposed approaching the King in the North because they shared enemies.

Gary prepared Winterfell for the wight army’s arrival while Daenerys led evacuees south, but only fifty thousand people reached safety before the enemy was expected after sunset. As the forces assembled for battle, three apparent Lannister envoys arrived from King's Landing, leaving Gary questioning why they had come from House Lannister rather than the Westerlands.

• Teresa told Gary that the wight army would reach the ruins of the Wall in three days and that they could not build another Wall.
• Gary ordered weapons and wildfire prepared, then sent Daenerys and Bingling to drive the eighty thousand evacuees south without diverting the dragons from the coming battle.
• After three days, Daenerys reported that fifty thousand people had reached safety and that the wight army would arrive at Winterfell after sunset.
• Gary inspected Winterfell’s assembled forces, including the Holy Fire Tribunal inquisitors, Dragon Cavalry, Giants Cavalry, and the castle troops.
• Three envoys bearing Lannister sigils arrived from King's Landing, and Gary asked whether they had come from the Westerlands.

• The Father, the Mother, and the Smith offered Gary the Westerlands and help against the Cold God in exchange for primal stone energy, and Gary agreed to share it after the threat was driven back.
• The Smith blessed the soldiers’ weapons, while the Mother left Jenna Lannister’s body and sent shadow assassins against the wights.
• The Father told Teresa he had planted the thought that led her to join the King in the North, and Teresa said she might have used that opportunity to escape his control.
• The shadow assassins killed nearly ten thousand wights, but the White Walkers ordered the horde to bypass them and attack Winterfell.
• The Holy Fire inquisitors used divine sight to locate the White Walkers, and Tysha ordered them to fire.

Gary’s forces and the Seven overwhelmed the wights, but dragonglass bullets failed to kill the Night’s King. When Gary and Bingling confronted him, Aolixilade revealed an old feud with the phantom possessing him and offered to help it devour Westeros if it killed R’hllor.

• Tysha ordered the Holy Fire Inquisitors to fire at the apparent Night’s King, but dragonglass bullets shattered his armor without killing him.

Gary tried to kill the Night's King, but Aolixilade intervened and the battle spread to Winterfell as the dragons turned on one another. Nawija abducted Gary into a dream and offered him a bargain, revealing that Primal Stone was the name of a Divine Body compatible only with her and R'hllor.

• Gary attacked the Night's King, but Aolixilade stopped his strike and threw Falling Plum aside.
• Bingling broke free and breathed Dragonfire at Aolixilade and the Night's King, while the White Dragon fought Bingling for control and Drogon attacked them.

• Aolixilade discovered that Nawija had escaped with Gary and blocked the mark she had placed on him, then scorched the snowy ground in anger.
• In a dream, Nawija offered to spare humanity if Gary surrendered Primal Stone and explained that it was a Divine Body only she and R'hllor could use.

Gary learned that the Divine Body could be destroyed by Aolixilade and heard Nawija's account of fate, the Sun, and the future changing around him. Nawija proposed exchanging consciousnesses so Gary could become the Cold God, while he considered whether fusing with the Divine Body might help him return to his original world.

• Nawija explained that Aolixilade stole the Divine Body and that the gods fought her to stop her from destroying it.

• Nawija revealed that she had learned Gary's secrets by peering into his body while he borrowed her power through the White Walker arm.

After Nawija tricked Gary into a pact, he awakened in the Night's King's body and transferred his power into Primal Stone, which created a female divine body for him. Gary revealed himself as King Luke to Alysanne Mormont and prepared to return to Winterfell, while Aolixilade investigated his corpse and Nawija's disappearance.

• Nawija persuaded Gary to clasp her hand, pulling his consciousness from his body as she claimed the sun and left for another world.

• Gary identified himself to Alysanne Mormont as King Luke Stark and ordered her to prepare warhorses so he could return to Winterfell, saying the White Walkers and wights were gone.
• Aolixilade found Gary's corpse and Primal Stone missing, then wondered whether Nawija had become a true god or died.

Nawija, the Cold God from Game of Thrones, awoke in Gary’s body with none of Gary’s memories and learned that Gary’s family had spent everything caring for him. After Nawija revealed his Ice Magic and healing ability to his cousin Li Luoluo, she hurried to get him discharged before the hospital could run more tests.

• Nawija woke from Gary’s coma, claimed he had come from another world, and learned that Gary’s family had been notified.

• Li Luoluo interrupted the doctor’s plan for tests and demanded that Gary be discharged immediately.
• Li Luoluo pulled Gary’s worried parents aside at the end of the corridor.

After Nawija revealed his healing and ice-making powers, Li Luoluo and their families took him home and discussed how he could survive without exposing himself to doctors. Nawija said he needed followers to preserve his divine power, and his ice magic convinced both families to take their savings and move abroad.

• Li Luoluo showed Gary's parents Nawija's healing ability, and they hurriedly discharged him from the hospital to keep doctors from examining him.
• Gary's father carried Nawija home, where Li Luoluo looked after him while he watched television and later helped him use the bathroom.
