From defeating the Waif to [feeding Walder Frey a pie made out of his own sons](http://time.com/4386160/game-of-thrones-arya-stark-inspiration-walder-frey-death/), [Arya Stark](http://time.com/5332432/maisie-williams-goodbye-game-of-thrones/) has had some memorable moments on [_Game of Thrones_](http://time.com/5389324/game-of-thrones-cast-season-8-hints/). But according to Maisie Williams—who plays the young faceless assasin—a scene from the show’s forthcoming eighth and final season may be her character’s best yet. In an interview with [_The Guardian_](https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2018/oct/17/game-of-thrones-maisie-williams-interview-marvel)that was published on Wednesday, Williams shared her thoughts on the very last sequence she shot for _Game of Thrones_, even going so far as to describe it as “beautiful.” “I ended on the perfect scene,” she said. “I was alone—shocker! Arya’s always bloody alone. But I was alone and I had watched a lot of other people wrap. I knew the drill, I had seen the tears and heard the speeches.” Williams went on to explain why those final minutes on set were so special to her. “It wasn’t something I planned,” she said of her wrap speech. “But in that moment I realised what the show meant to me.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5428834/game-of-thrones-maisie-williams-final-scene/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5428834/game-of-thrones-maisie-williams-final-scene/"},"headline":"Maisie Williams Says Her Game of Thrones Journey Ended on the 'Perfect Scene'","datePublished":"2018-10-18T20:15:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:55:32.441Z","description":"Arya Stark went out on a high note","url":"https://time.com/5428834/game-of-thrones-maisie-williams-final-scene/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","game of thrones","TV","Maisie Williams"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8222f656d1db758c/6988db7397cdff75c86b2369/game-of-thrones-the-dragon-and-the-wolf-07.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8222f656d1db758c/6988db7397cdff75c86b2369/game-of-thrones-the-dragon-and-the-wolf-07.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"game-of-thrones-the-dragon-and-the-wolf-arya-stark-07","caption":"","creditText":"Helen Sloan—HBO","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5428834/game-of-thrones-maisie-williams-final-scene/","name":"Maisie Williams Says Her Game of Thrones Journey Ended on the 'Perfect Scene'"}}]}] ```
