Jon Snow fashions his enemies with new neckties and quits the Night\u2019s Watch  We may have also caught a glimpse of a major plot point involving the identity of Jon Snow\u2019s parents. In one of the biggest moments of the episode, Bran witnesses a young Ned Stark facing off against legendary swordsman Ser Arthur Dayne, a member of the \u201cMad King\u201d Aerys Targaryen\u2019s Kingsguard, at the Tower of Joy. According to Dayne, he was instructed by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen (Daenerys and Viserys\u2019 older brother) to guard the tower, where Ned suspects his sister Lyanna is being held after Rhaegar kidnapped her and incited the rebellion that eventually saw the Targaryen dynasty removed from power and Robert Baratheon installed on the Iron Throne. What relevance does this have to Jon Snow\u2019s parentage? Feel free to fall down that rabbit hole of speculation here \u2014 but it\u2019s discussed in detail on the podcast that after Lyanna\u2019s death and Robert\u2019s victory, Ned returned home to Winterfell (and his new wife Catelyn) with a bastard son, but refused to tell anyone the identity of Jon\u2019s mother.
