What happens here
- S1E3 Jon arrives at the Wall expecting rangers and finds thieves and boys.
- S3E6 Jon and Ygritte climb seven hundred feet of ice and come over the top on the wrong side of it.
- S3E9 Jon refuses to kill an old horse breeder, breaks with the wildlings and rides for the Wall with three arrows in him.
- S4E9 Castle Black holds both gates for a night. A scythe of chain clears the ice and giants break the inner gate.
- S4E9 Ygritte has Jon in her sights and does not shoot. Olly does.
- S4E10 Stannis lands a disciplined army behind the wildling host and takes Mance Rayder alive.
- S5E1 Mance will not kneel. Stannis lights the pyre and Jon puts an arrow through his heart from the back of the crowd.
- S5E3 Jon's first act as Lord Commander is to behead a man for refusing an order, in front of the men who elected him.
- S5E5 Jon puts it to the Watch that every wildling they leave north of the Wall is a soldier for the dead.
- S5E7 Maester Aemon dies at Castle Black, and the last Targaryen north of the Narrow Sea goes into the fire.
- S5E10 The officers of the Night's Watch stab their Lord Commander in the yard, one at a time, for traitor.
- S6E1 Melisandre takes off the choker and the woman under it is centuries old.
- S6E2 Melisandre washes the body, cuts the hair, says the words and leaves. Jon Snow wakes up an hour later.
- S6E3 Jon hangs the four men who killed him, hands his cloak to Edd and walks out of Castle Black.
- S6E4 Sansa reaches Castle Black. It is the first time two Starks have been in the same room since the first season.
- S8E6 Jon is sent back to the Night's Watch as the price of the peace, and walks north through the gate with the free folk.
