Sometime in Season 7, a Free Person or a Northern Soldier tries to kill a member of the other party due to past tensions, or a Northern Lord tries to assassinate Jon. Fortunetly, Bran's Greenseer powers allow him to detect the assassin before he can kill anyone. Jon sentences the assassin to death but the assassin, just like Rickard Karstark warns that if he is killed, hios party will abandon Jon but Jon stands firm and puts the assassin in the dungeons until the time of execution.

Bran however is worried by this. Later, Bran, Sansa and Jon have a debate about the Assassins fate. Bran asks if executio is really necessary. Jon replies by telling Bran that there is no proviso for treason and that traitors deserve to die. Sansa is actually in agreement after all the hardships she has faced. Bran then tells Jon that using his Greenseer power he witnessed Robb execute Rickard Karstark for his treachery, and lose a good portion of his army. Bran warns Jon that if he repeats Rob's mistake, the White Walkers could win and suggests that the assassin be imprisoned until the Walkers are defeated.

Jon counters by saying a penalty that light will only encourage more teachery and cause more suffering. Bran then goes in for the kill and shows Jon and Sansa a vision of the past of the Thens attacking Olly's village, and Jon executing him. Sansa is horrified by Jon's actions and calls him "Mad". Bran calms Sansa down and tells Jon that Olly was more victim then traitor and that Jon was too emotional when executing him. Jon, after seeing the attack on the village begins to feel remorse and says he's starting to feel conflict in himself. On one end there's an urge to execute traitors, on the other end is an honorable side.

Bran then tells Jon, "Those two sides are part of you're heritage." He then shows Jon and Sansa the vision of his birth. Jon and Sansa are utterly shocked by this revealation and ask to be alone for a while. Jon begins to fear that Targaryean Madness might be starting to affect him and fears that he'll go down as "The Mad King in the North.". Sansa is torn between what she saw and what she had been taught. She lived her whole life thinking Rhaegar was a perverted monster, but now realizes that

Jon ultimatly decides he is a Stark before he is a Targaryean. And to avoid Robb's mistake and make up for executing Olly Jon spares the Assassins life and orders him to remain imprisoned until the White Walkers are defeated, ensuring the loyalty of his party. Even Sansa's hardened heart begins to somewhat soften. She decides to only use execution on those who are truely villains, like Littlefinger and sets of with him, Robin Arryn and the Knights of the Vale on their campaign to liberate the Riverlands, and engage in a battle of wits to the death with Littlefinger. Meanwhile, Bran tells Jon that he's not the only one with Targaryean blood still alive and shows him a vision of Daenary's. Jon then makes plans for a joint alliance with her against the Walkers.
