However, there is one part that got Nigerians emotional - Brienne of Tarth's well-deserved promotion.

After waiting for six seasons, fans got to see Jaime Lannister finally make her a knight of the seven kingdoms.

This tear-jerking scene starts with Brienne and Jaime sitting around the fire with Tormund Giantsbane, Tyrion Lannister, Ser Davos Seaworth, and Podrick Payne.

After trading war stories, Tormund is surprised to find out Brienne is not a "ser" like the rest of her male peers. At first, she laughs it off acting like she is okay with not being knighted even as Jaime urges her to come forward.

Brienne eventually goes to Jaime with a little encouragement from Podrick.
