In Winterfell's courtyard, many Northerners wait in line to be served food. Davos is filling the bowls.
A man said, “Milord, we're not soldiers.”
Davos said, “You are now. Look, I made it through most of my years without ever getting near a fight, but then I survived the Battle of the Bastards. Right outside these walls. If I can live through that, you can live through this. They'll outfit you with weapons at the forge. Right that way.”
The man said, “Thank you.” He nods towards Davos and walks off with his bowl.
Gilly said, “When the time comes, you'll be down in the crypts.” Gilly is leading a young woman and an older couple, showing them where they will stay during the battle.”
Gilly said, “They're the safest place to be. Through that archway right over there.”
The woman said, “Thank you.”
A young girl, named Teela, walks up to where the food is being served and holds her bowl up. Davos has his back turned.
Teela said, “Which way should I go?” Davos turns back around and looks at her.
Davos asked, “Which way do you want to go?”
Teela said, “All the children will be going below when the time comes.” Gilly overhears the conversation and starts to walk over.
Teela said, “But both me brothers were soldiers. I want to fight too.” Davos takes her bowl and fills it up as Gilly sits down next to her.
Gilly said, “That's good to hear. I'm going to be in the crypt with my son, and I'd feel a lot better with you down there to protect us.”
Davos grinned and said, “I'm sure a lot of people would.” He hands her bowl back to her.
Teela said, “All right. I'll defend the crypt, then.” Teela walks off and Davos smiles at Gilly. A horn is then blared and the gates are opened as the remaining members of the Night Watch return with Tormund Giantsbane and Beric Dondarrion. Sam Tarly greets Dolorous Edd who has just returned. Jon sees them and quickly heads over. Before he can embrace Edd, Tormund hugs him first.
Tormund said, “My little crow.”
Jon said, “I thought we'd lost you.”
Tormund said, “Almost.” Jon turns to hug Edd. He then turns to Beric and shakes his hand.
Jon asked, “How did you find each other?”
Edd said, “We met up at the Last Hearth.”
Tormund said, “The dead got there first.”
Jon asked, “The Umbers?”
Beric said, “Fighting for the Night King now.”
Tormund said, “We had to travel around them to get here. Whoever's not here now is with them.”
Jon said, “How long do we have?”
Tormund said, “Before the sun comes up tomorrow.”
Jon looks at Sam with a concerned look. Tormund looks back over his shoulder, surveying his surroundings.
Tormund asked, “The big woman still here?”

Archers walk up to the edge of the battlements in Winterfell with their bow and arrows. We see a man stretch the bow string
Jon said, “Far too many.” A horse neighs and the man looks up over the wall.
