"The Dragon and the Wolf" is the seventh and final episode of the seventh season of HBO's fantasy television series Game of Thrones, and the 67th overall. It was written by series co-creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, and directed by Jeremy Podeswa.

In King's Landing, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey), along with their advisors and loyalists, meet to discuss the impending White Walker threat. Cersei is presented with a wight, a member of the White Walker army, and agrees to fight alongside Daenerys and Jon, on condition that Jon ceases his opposition to the crown. Jon refuses, having already pledged his loyalty to Daenerys, and Cersei retracts her offer of assistance. However, Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) meets in private with Cersei, and is able to convince her to reconsider and pledge to fight the White Walkers. Later, Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) begins preparing the Lannister army, but Cersei stops him, revealing that she was lying about helping. Jaime leaves King's Landing in disgust and heads north. On Dragonstone, Theon Greyjoy commands the Ironborn loyal to his sister, Yara, to save her from Euron Greyjoy (Pilou Asbæk). At Winterfell, Littlefinger (Aidan Gillen) is found guilty of murder and treason by Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) and executed by Arya Stark (Maisie Williams). Samwell Tarly (John Bradley) meets with Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) and the two discuss Jon's birth, revealing his Targaryen lineage and identifying him as the true heir to the Iron Throne. Beyond the Wall, the White Walker army arrives at Eastwatch, with the Night King riding on his dragon. The dragon demolishes a segment of the Wall, allowing the dead to pass into the Seven Kingdoms.
