Jorah rides through the ongoing fight, Dismembering a wight with one great swing, then another. His face is bloodied and he looks exhausted. As he pivots his mount, a wight tackles him from behind, and he and is horse both fall. He rolls to his feet and continues to battle. Nearby, Brienne grunts as she cuts through her assailants. She tries to catch her breath, but a wight attacks before she can. Tormund's berserk attacks are brutal and effective, but he is also out of breath. Jamie is more deft in his parries and footwork. Podrick pushes away the wight that tries to take him down. Gendry and the Hound also fight in the fray.
A wight leaps through the air and wraps himself around Jamie. The Kingslayer tries to shake him off. Another wight tackles Tormund. Sam shouts and slays an undead fighter. Edd circles behind him, but is taken down by a leaping wight.
Sam shouted, “Edd! Edd!”
Another wight tackles Sam before he can help his friend, pinning him to the ground on his back. Sam fights with all he has to stop the undead's blade from forcing into his skull. Edd saves Sam by stabbing the wight through the back. Sam whimpers, and his senses slow as exhaustion takes over.
Edd shouts, “Sam, get up!”
Edd grabs Sam's shirt and pulls him to his feet. As Sam regains his strength, Edd is stabbed from behind. Blood spews from his mouth as he gasps and staggers.
Edd said, “Oh, God. Sam.”
Edd collapses. Sam looks at the snarling wight behind Edd. Sam turns and flees.
A woman shouts, “Edd!

Sansa walks down the steps to the crypt. Above her, the heavy door closes and is locked by a guard. She joins the crowd of women, children and elderly who are huddling in the crypt, along with Varys, Gilly and Little Sam. Sansa takes stock of the crypt's atmosphere.

The wind howls. The clouds of snow hang in the air. Rhaegal flies through. Jon holds on to the powerful dragon as they crash through snow-covered treetops. Rhaegal regains control of his flight. Jon gasps for breath. He looks behind him at the peril they escaped. Suddenly, Drogon appears from the snow cloud in front of them, on a collision course. The dragons bank to avoid one another. Aldarra grunts as she is slung around in her saddle. Jon strains to check that Aldarra is safe as the dragons pull side by side. The dragons struggle to fly against the wind and snow, and Jon and Aldarra are constantly tested by the unpredictable and jerky flight. Once they have settled, Aldarra looks down through the blowing snow to take in the battle. She then searches for Tyrion. She doesn't see him immediately. He starts catching up to them. The undead army continues to surge forward with inhuman stamina.

Tormund grunts as he lands each blow.
Tormund shouts, “Fall back! Fall back!” A wight stumbles as it tries to attack Tormund from behind. He raises his weapon and delivers a powerful overhead strike.
Brienne shouts, “Fall back!” The Northmen follow the command to retreat.
A soldier shouts, “Come on!”

Another soldier shouts, “Let us in!”
