Sure, she was a faceless assassin/water dancer/acrobatic killing machine, but if you were still wondering how she got enough air to sneak up on the Night King and deliver the stab that ended winter, the "Game of Thrones" documentary has your answer. In "The Last Watch," which chronicles the making of "Game of Thrones'" eighth and final season , writer Bryan Cogman narrates the moments in the script leading up to the big kill in episode 3. As the actors react, he says Arya "vaults off a pile of dead wights," thus giving us the shot of her descending, cat-like, from behind the Night King. Now, a few things. We don't actually get to see that moment in the episode, but just because it was written in the script's directions doesn't mean it made the final edit.
