Last night, HBO aired Game of Thrones season eight, episode five, “The Bells.” The penultimate episode of Game of Throne saw Daenerys Targaryen burn King’s Landing to the ground.
Arya Stark was caught up in the chaos in the streets of the city as Dany’s armies and her dragons wreaked havoc throughout. She managed to survive and eventually ride out of the city on a white horse.
