Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner celebrate victory over the Night King in 'Game of Thrones' season 8 episode 3

After Sophie Turner posted an Instagram story about how she admired Maisie Williams, the latter took to Instagram to show how much she enjoyed her victory with Turner

The Starks are not able to get over the whole episode 3 fever, and it is for every right reason. Earlier, Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark on 'Game of Thrones', took to Instagram to share how proud she was of her onscreen little sister, Arya Stark played by Maisie Williams. After all that praise and all the blessings Arya got for her valiant act of killing the Night King, it was now Williams' turn to relish her victory over the living dead. 

Taking to Instagram, Williams shared a post where she wrote, "how am feeling after that episode. not today bby 👋🏻." The first part of the post shows Turner throwing snowballs and dabbing to some weird tunes, while the second part sees a happy Night King with some kind of glowing light focused on his finger.

It can be deciphered from both the pictures that they were taken at the time when the Night King had already entered Winterfell and was heading to the Godswood to kill Bran Stark. As we know, Arya literally sneaked out of nowhere and within a second, managed to not only kill the Night King but also destroy his entire army who have been breaking into Winterfell. 



 

Fans, who are extremely glad it was Arya who killed the Night King, took to the post to congratulate Williams on her brilliant performance. Williams' post comes immediately after Turner appreciated her for what she had done on the show. Among all those who have commented on the post, Alfie Allen who plays Theon Greyjoy, too shared a comment where he simply said, "VLAD" which we are assuming is the short-form for Vladimir Furdik, the real actor behind the Night King. As much as fans poured their love for Williams, they have expressed the equal amount of sadness upon the death of Theon who died seconds before Arya pounced on the Night King. 



 

The Stark sisters aren't the only ones who are rejoicing over their victory against the Night King, the Three-Eyed Raven also took a little moment to joke around with the Night King. Isaac Hempstead Wight, who plays Bran Stark (the Three Eyed Raven), took to Instagram to post a picture of him with the Night King where he wrote, "Here’s a still taken from the alternate episode 3 ending in which the Night King becomes Bran’s carer and they both live happily ever after." The timing of the picture is kind of ridiculous since this is the very scene where the Night King marches in to kill Bran, but thanks to Arya, that does not happen.



 

Now, fans are wondering if Arya will be the one to kill Cersei (Lena Headey), given they are all ready to attack King's Landing in episode 4, which will air May 5.
