Cleganebowl. It finally happened.
Game of Thrones fans got their longtime wish on Sunday night's episode, when Sandor "The Hound" Clegane and brother Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane finally faced off against each other.
Here's how it all went down: As the army from the North invaded King's Landing, The Hound left Arya so he could find and kill Cersei.
He found her alright, but he also found his brother, Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane, better known as the massive undead corpse who serves as Cersei's personal bodyguard. (You may remember him from the end of the previous episode, when he beheaded Missandei atop the walls of King's Landing.)
After unceremoniously dashing Qyburn's head against the wall, The Mountain approaches his brother. He finally takes off his helmet, revealing a bald zombie head that looks...a little like a zombie Varys? Anyway, it's a gruesome fight, with The Mountain pulling his classic move of digging his thumbs into his opponent's eye sockets (RIP Oberyn Martell, amirite?). While The Hound gets his eyeballs squashed like grapes, he manages to plunge a dagger through his brother's head.
So who ultimately wins Cleganebowl? If you guessed no one, you'd be right. The long-awaited battle ends with both Clegane brothers tumbling off the tower and falling to their presumed deaths in the fire below.
