Warning: This article contains spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 8.
The latest episode of Game of Thrones saw Arya Stark making moves on Gendry soon after reuniting with him in the opening episode of Season 8. Following some particularly heavy flirtation, she made a crucial decision about her sexuality: she wanted to experience what sex was like for the initial time. And not with just anyone – with Gendy.
While spending what they felt would be one of their final usual nights with each other before taking on the White Walkers as they encroached on Winterfell, the pair determined to be able to see what it seemed like before potentially dying. Needless to say, we hope that's not the case, although for both Arya and Gendry, it was looking like a very real possibility.
Viewers were split down the middle with
equally bemused and horrified reactions, with some referring to Arya as their "little sister" and questioning her age, and others made joke right after joke about the couple's pairing.
Speaking on the scene with
Entertainment Weekly, Williams' co-star and best friend
Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) instructed her about the impending scene right after obtaining the scripts for season 8.
“Sophie mentioned, ‘Whatever you do, you should skip to this episode, this scene first.’ So I just read that and it also was practically all I knew about the complete season," mentioned Williams. She had her suspicions about the two potentially getting with each other at first, however she felt it might would be a prank script sent to her by showrunners David Benioff or Dan Weiss, who'd sent scripts with jokes in them to the cast in the past.
“I was like, ‘Yo, good one.’ And the showrunners were like, ‘No, we haven’t done that this year.’ Oh fuck," mentioned Williams. And thus things fell into place, the scene was shot, and then broadcast to millions of viewers. No pressure.
Will Arya and Gendry live on to "experience" sex again together? We'll have to be able to see what occurs as a huge battle approaches and we continue hurtling toward the end of the series. Whichever does just be occurring, it's going to be a doozy.
