Without a rewrite of the previous 5 episodes....I'd probably have Jon give into his love and passions and be with Dany.

It is said right in the moment he killed his previous love to do the right thing, but this time when forced to make the choice, he makes the wrong choice realizing how utterly hopeless it is to be THAT ideologically driven. He is in this scenario persuaded by Dany's speech realizing this is the best way to help the people. Realizing he really is the right man for the job. Tyrion is unconvincing in his speech in this scenario.

While Sansa and Arya may be displeased, he can easily negotiate for the independence of the North and gives Sansa the throne she's been positioning for.

The rest of the episode is then spent setting up for the viewer to know more and less the power structure and potential enemies or alliances of the future. Seeing as this is a living and breathing world that wouldn't naturally just end.

Tyrion gets exiled as a sign of mercy, and to leave the viewer wondering whether Jon can actually reign in the mad king/queen syndrome. Also because it allows a member of each major bloodline to have one surviving kin.

The iron fleet obviously continues it's alliance with Jon/Dany

Sam is forced to decide whether he would like to serve in the North or Jon and Dany.

Queen of the north chants proceed.

Arya and Sansa can be seen conspiring against the Queen in secret and that becomes Aryas new mission, assassinate the Queen if she gets out of hand. Seeing as the North is independent, this can be see a viable future offscreen threat for the viewer to wonder about and debate about on the internet.

We see Dany and Jon get married. The remain kingdoms are given a choice whether to bend the knee or resist. We are not shown their choices. They are given an ultimatum.

All this in my view lets the viewer know the world is going to go on and gives us an idea of the direction the world might go off camera. There is in my opinion no way of ending this show on a satisfactory manner in that regard. Take breaking bad for example, it is the show about Walter White, his death is the end of the story. This show has no such character where the story ends.
