Game Of Thrones Season 7 Spoilers: 17 Scenes We 100% Know Are Happening

17. Arya Reunites With Nymeria

Arya has been an island on her own for what feels like decades now (mostly thanks to the narrative cul-de-sac of the House Of Black And White), and her isolation has been enough to make you wish she'd just make a friend. Even the Waif would have been welcome.

Then again, her story worked because she was the lone wolf, and even though seeing her kill off the Freys at the end of season 6 was devastatingly brilliant, it would have been nice to see her enjoy it with someone in the aftermath. Her direwolf, Nymeria, would have been the perfect candidate, but she's been rogue since Arya forced her to run away to avoid Joffrey's murderous rage.

The missing pet will return, however, in Season 7, according to a leak by Instinct Animals For Film, who supply the animals for Game Of Thrones. They posted pictures of two direwolves - one Quigley, who plays Ghost, and another looking suspiciously like Nymeria - before locking their Instagram account (presumably when someone pointed out the spoiler).

Whether we'll see Nymeria leading her pack of wolves, as in the books, remains to be seen.
