Needless to say, Arya has been hailed as the real hero of the show, with this brave move. This is quite cool, since her and Gendry's intimate scene in the last episode had got a lot of flak for looking forced.

Talking about Arya murdering the Night King, it was predicted earlier in the episode that it would happen. When Arya brings a dying Beric Dondarrion to a room in the Winterfell castle, the red-haired witch Melisandre is also present in the room. She tells Arya that Beric has served his purpose. Game of Thrones 8 Episode 3 Complete Recap: From Major Deaths to Arya Stark’s Heroic Act, Everything That Happened in the Battle of Winterfell (SPOILER ALERT).

Arya reminds her that they have met before (in season 3. both Beric and Melisandre were on her kill-list for taking Gendry away from her). Melisandre remembers the encounter and she repeats something that is what encourages Arya to go for the Night King.

So what were those words? In Season 3, when Arya had confronted Melisandre, the latter saw something dark in her that made her realise that Arya is made for bigger things. Melisandre had said, "I see a darkness in you. And in that darkness eyes staring back at me - brown eyes, blue eyes, green eyes. Eyes you'll shut forever. We will meet again."

Watch the scene below:

Now Arya has killed a couple of persons with brown eyes already, which included Walder Frey. The blue eyes belong to The Night King that has been once again been killed by Arya, making this old prediction of Melisandre come true. Now for the matter of green eyes, Cersei's eyes are gree. So does that maker her the next in Arya's target? After all, Cersei holds a prominent spot in Arya's kill-list for being the reason behind the execution of her father, ned Stark.

Also in tonight's episode, Melisandre repeats what Arya's sword teacher from the first season, Syrio Forel, told her in the past - 'what do we say to the god of death?' Arya replies in a determined voice, 'Not today!' And then she leaves to kill the Night King, making her the hero to root for!
