Like the pilot episode, Arya is not present when the Stark family greets their royal guests. Jon, Arya, and Needle Jon’s reunion with his favorite “sibling” in the Season 8 premiere mirrors the last time the two saw each other, which was in the pilot episode. In the pilot, Jon also surprises his little sis with Needle, a sword he had made especially for her. “The next time we see each other, we’ll talk about your mother,” Ned promises Jon before they go their separate ways. In “Winterfell,” Bran mentions to Sam that he’s waiting for a friend.
