MAISIE WILLIAMS
PLAYS | Arya Stark
WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT ARYA'S LAST SCENE | A Girl's swan song was "beautiful," Williams told The Guardian. "I ended on the perfect scene. I was alone — shocker! Arya's always bloody alone."
OUR TRANSLATION | This bodes well, because at least one of Ned's biological children has to survive... right?

EMILIA CLARKE
PLAYS | Daenerys of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons
WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT DAENERYS' LAST SCENE | "It f—ked me up," Clarke told Vanity Fair. "Knowing that is going to be a lasting flavor in someone's mouth of what Daenerys is..."
OUR TRANSLATION | Oh God, khaleesi's gonna kill 'em all, isn't she?

NIKOLAJ COSTER-WALDAU
PLAYS | Jaime Lannister
WHAT HE SAID ABOUT JAIME'S LAST SCENE | Coster-Waldau hasn't offered much publicly about The Kingslayer's end, except to tell Huffington Post that after he devoured the finale's script, "I wrote the writers when I was finished reading and just said, 'I don't think you could've done a better job at finishing this story" and that the episode was "very satisfying but also very surprising and all the things that I was hoping for." No word on whether Jaime actually appears in that script, though.
OUR TRANSLATION | Dead man talking! (But hopefully, Jaime will score a few moments of noble glory before getting eaten by a dragon or something.)

KIT HARINGTON
PLAYS | Jon Snow, King in the North aka Aegon Targaryen
WHAT HE SAID ABOUT JON'S LAST SCENE | "I cried at the end," Harington told Digital Spy about reading the show's finale, but then hedged by saying his tears weren't about "anything particular that happens."
OUR TRANSLATION | Have hair, will survive. (Plus, he already lived through the Battle of the Bastards and the clash with the Night King, two of the most heinous fights we've seen so far.)

SOPHIE TURNER
PLAYS | Sansa Stark
WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT SANSA'S LAST SCENE | Though Turner admits she "bawled her eyes out" on her final day filming at Winterfell — which was not her final day shooting the series — her actual last scene as Ned Stark's daughter "took about five days to shoot" and made everyone involved "quite sweaty, and bored by the end," she told Digital Spy.
OUR TRANSLATION | We're gonna go out on a limb and equate "sweaty" with "fighting" — and while Sansa has grown into many things over the years, a skilled swordswoman isn't one of them. RIP, Red. We'll think of you every time we have lemon cakes.

PETER DINKLAGE
PLAYS | Tyrion Lannister
WHAT HE SAID ABOUT TYRION'S LAST SCENE |"I feel very very — I'm trying to find the right word," Dinklage told Vulture. "I think he was given a very good conclusion. No matter what that is — death can be a great way out."
OUR TRANSLATION | Tyrion will survive, but at a great cost. After all, somebody's gotta live to tell the tale.
