Game of ThronesSeason 8 arrived full-force,A Fair Haired Woman Who Spins And Pulls Out with Jon Snow learning his true identity during the very first episode.
SEE ALSO: How 'Game of Thrones' season 8 can tie up these character loose endsJon's BFF-slash-true brother Samwell Tarly had a rough episode, learning that Daenerys executed his father and brother just after gleefully being introduced to her by Jorah Mormont.
"You've never been a bastard."
Disillusioned with the dragon queen, Sam runs into Bran (but he's not really Bran, idk if you've heard, he's the ~*~*~Three-Eyed Raven~*~*~), who says that only Sam can tell Jon the truth. This is not an enviable position, which is probably why Sam literally hides in the crypts, but Jon catches him and then there's nothing to do but have the awkward convo.
"Your mother was Lyanna Stark. And your father, your real father was Rhaegar Targaryen. You've never been a bastard. You're Aegon Targaryen, true hair to the Iron Throne."
Jon is understandably skeptical. Popular discourse was that Rhaegar Targaryen kidnapped and raped Lyanna Stark, not that they fell in love and got married. The truth Sam is telling also means that Ned Stark – the most honorable man any of us will ever not-meet! – lied to Jon his entire life! While it's still early for Jon to react to the news of his true identity – much less the realization that he's banging his aunt – the news of Ned's betrayal stings immediately.
"We chose to play the whole thing on Jon's face," showrunner D.B. Weiss said after the show, emphasizing that nothing Sam said is new to viewers, but it's utterly earth-shattering for Jon.
So, how will the erstwhile King in the North handle this? Probably not well!
