Sophie Turner just put one of the world’s biggest mysteries to rest: the coffee cup gaffe of Game of Thrones season eight.

Don’t know what I’m talking about? Let’s back up for a second. If you watched this season of GoT, then you most likely remember how snoozy episode four was. To be fair, it had a lot to live up to, seeing as how it directly followed Arya Stark killing the Night King. All this dead air, though, probably explains why fans chose not to focus on the plot and instead on a rogue coffee cup that somehow made it into one of the scenes. Here it is to jog your memory:

And a few Twitter reactions to remind you of the sheer pandemonium it caused:

So how the hell did this happen? Game of Thrones is a detailed, big-budget production, so the fact such an obvious mistake made it into a final episode cut is head-scratching. At first Turner blamed the incident on Emilia Clarke, joking to Jimmy Fallon, “Look who it’s placed in front of. Emilia Clarke. She’s the culprit.”

But now Turner’s changing her tune. She now posits that Kit Harington is the one responsible for coffee cup-gate. “I hear this every day of my life. This coffee cup thing,” Turner told Conan O’Brien in a interview on Conan Thursday night, June 6. “It’s good to know the coffee cup got more press than the final season altogether. The coffee cup was where Kit’s chair was. At first I blamed it on Emilia, but I don’t think Emilia would do that. Kit is lazy, and I think he would’ve done that. It was in front of Kit’s chair and then, obviously, he moved so this picture was taken and it looked like it was in my seat. But I wasn’t there, either. It was Kit. It was 100 percent Kit.”
