Thanks to the massive Battle of Winterfell in an earlier episode, fans have had to say goodbye to beloved characters who perished at the hands of the Night King. Not all of the goodbyes in this final season have been due to death, as Jon Snow made the decision in this week's episode to part ways with his direwolf companion Ghost, who went to live in the north as Snow began his trek south.
