3) BRAN REMOVES THE MAGIC PROTECTING THE WALL

If the White Walkers do capture Bran, they may not necessarily kill him. The Three-Eyed Raven possesses powers so great, it might be advantageous for them to break him down with torture rather than murdering him or bringing him back as a mindless wight.

If Bran is seized by the Night King and Jon Snow finds out about it, that could inspire Jon to mount a rescue mission. How would Jon find out? If Meera Reed survives (yay!) Bran’s abduction, then could would race straight south to Castle Black. Once Meera explains Bran’s predicament to Jon and company, Jon would waste no time in trying to rescue his little brother, perhaps with the assistance of his Uncle Benjen.

Jon’s courageous mission will fail, and the Night King will eventually find a way to make Bran suspend the magic enchantment protecting the Wall from the army of the undead. By the last frame of the Season 7 finale, the White Walkers—with Bran still under their thrall—will have smashed through the Wall, destroyed the Night’s Watch and be marching south. Helluva cliffhanger, huh?
