Jon killed a brother of the Night's Watch, and not just any brother, but a commander, the Wildlings will think he doesn't want to go back in fear of punishment and will now have no choice but to join them.

On the other side of the Wall, I'm really happy with the changes they've made to Bran's story, specifically Osha sticking around rather than just going off with Rickon like she did in the story.

Osha really has become like a surrogate mother to the boys, something they desperately need considering their real mother kind of sucks at her job. Cat's story this season was kind of a mess, while it did follow the story, some of the things she did made no sense. I mean she released Jaime Lannister before news of Bran and Rickon's "deaths" had reached her, I mean that was the tipping point for her, if releasing Jaime would get her back two of her other children then so be it. Also, the fact that they omitted Riverrun and her father's failing health this season kind of made you wonder what she was doing staying with Robb, when after she left King's Landing in the first book she was so adamant to get back to Winterfell and her children.
