* [[spoiler: ForWantOfANail, since Ser Barristan was never forcibly retired, he was not there to stop Daenerys from being poisoned by the manticore. While she survived, the poisoned left her with a crippled, rotten arm and driven her insane. It's heavily implied she suffered a more severe form of BreakTheCutie afterwards, saying she lost Viserys, Drogo, Missandei and that Daario betrayed her and more. That led her to burning every single city in Slaver's Bay. Gone was the kind, if somewhat self-righteous canon Dany, and in her place is Aerys II Reborn. Except this time she has dragons. Joffrey could only realize that the woman he had meet loops earlier is no longer there, instead she had become a mood-swinging lunatic, obsessed with getting what is hers and willing to burn all of Westeros for it.]]

* The results of Sansa's training as a shadowbinder. When she's asked to execute a thief, the poor bastard has to see as Sansa basically ''rips'' the blood out of his body and absorbs it. Joff, no stranger to sadism and horror, is left aghast at Sansa's [[UncannyValley attitude]] after she has to go through with the execution.

* Joffrey and Sansa's attempt to assassinate Daenerys to stop her from interfering with their plans is harrowing in and of itself, with Jorah, Viserion, and almost her entire Dothraki retinue dying to ensure her escape and Daenerys herself tearfully limping out of Qarth into the Red Wastes with the life slowly draining from her veins. Unfortunately, the plan backfires in the worst possible way, with Quaithe the shadowbinder trading her own life to save Daenerys', but not before Daenerys gets a good look at the White Walkers, the Cycle, and the incoming Long Night. All this sends her off the sanity slope one last time and she resolves to [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds bathe the entire world in flames in order to deny the White Walkers the chance to claim all life for the Cycle.]] She starts with her ancestral home of Dragonstone, immolating it along with Lancel Lannister and a retinue of Joffrey's Royal Guard as a prelude to what she intends to do to rest of Westeros.

* Joffrey discovers that the Purple is a defense mechanism against a cyclical extinction event that the planet experiences regularly. The Long Night has rendered several sapient species and advanced civilizations extict already with just a few mysterious artefacts remaining.

** Later on, this expands to even Daenerys, who once again devolves into a lunatic tyrant. The last of her Sansa sees through the glass candle is her sitting on the Iron Throne, screaming "BURN THEM ALL!" as [[BodyguardBetrayal Barristan Selmy impales her on his sword]]. The next time Sansa uses the candle to spy on King's Landing, there's only a massive wildfire crater left.

* In the final loop, Sansa reveals her parents the truth (with Ser Rodrik and Maester Luwin also present) and demonstrates her powers by opening a breach in reality to show them the Others advancing beyond the Wall. She manages to zero on the group that ambushed Will's Night Watch party and, at Ned's insistence, gets closer so they can take a good look at the horror to come. Then one of the Walkers ''notices them''. Panic ensues when it comes at them while preventing Sansa from closing the window. Despite succeeding JustInTime, and Ned stepping forward with Ice in hand to protect his daughter, it manages to take a slash at her and although the resulting frost-covered injury looks worse than it actually is (as Sansa insists it didn't damage her soul and heals it easily), this rattles Ned hard enough that Sansa has to talk him out of calling his banners then and there.
