The second episode of Game of Thrones'final season aired on Sunday, April 21, and although none of our beloved characters have yet died, the episode did see the reintroduction of a character who's been long absent from our screens.

Ghost hasn't been seen onscreen for literally years, which led many to question whether he'd ever return.

It seems the show's producers just wanted to give fans a little reassurance that Ghost was ok (although perhaps a bit expensive to render on screen for full scenes).

A few fans wished Ghost's apparent reappearance had been given a little more explanation.

With only a handful of episodes left, each longer than an hour, fans are preparing for what's likely a heartbreaking conclusion to the epic series. At least Ghost will be there to enjoy the ride along with us.
