As one of the sixth season’s episodes show Ramsay Bolton’s end, it also highlights Sansa’s peak moment as she manages to finally deliver her revenge towards the former.
Ramsay finds his death in his own hounds’ fangs, despite his firm beliefs that the creatures will be loyal to him till the very end, right after Sansa observes that the hounds haven’t been fed for a week.
As the latter ones keep tearing their master to pieces, the viewer sees Sansa walk away with a smile of satisfaction on her face.
As David Benioff admitted while talking on the podcast, the fact that they managed to show mostly Sansa’s feelings about Ramsay’s death without actually showing his end in detail felt indeed epic after Sophie Turner “nailed it on the seventh or eighth time”.
The showrunner added that he’d felt like he could then die happy after the phenomenal scene he wrote was wrapped.
