Game Of Thrones: Season 6 - 5 Clues From The "Book Of The Stranger" Trailer

4. Little Finger Wants Sansa Back

After three episodes, we get a healthy injection of cunning with the long-awaited return of Peter Baelish, back to his old ways of scheming again.

It looks like Little Finger has kept abreast of the situation at Winterfell (nice of him to intervene) and knows that Sansa has escaped. He also presumably knows that she's alive, or his conversation with Robin Arryn would be entirely pointless. So we can probably expect him to pour honey into the young fool's ears and get him to commit forces to go and find Sansa for her own protection.

Does this mean we'll see a third force mobilising outside of Winterfell? Or will the Arryns align with their blood relatives (Robin is a cousin after all) and lend their men to Jon's cause?

Also, a nice reminder that Ser Yohn Royce still exists, still being mostly the most pointless character in all of the show. Given the cull of characters so far this season, you'd have to be scared if you were him.
