10 Predictions For The Game Of Thrones Season 5 Finale

9. Arya Loses Sight of Her Mission, Then Loses Her Sight

In the last episode, the hateful Ser Meryn Trant showed up in Braavos as protection for Mace Tyrell who was visiting the Iron Bank where Arya caught sight of him and abandoned her mission to assassinate the "thin man". She lies about this to Jaqen, but that last lingering shot of the Faceless Man suggests that he didn't believe a word. 

Arya follows the twisted Trant to a brothel, where he demonstrates his predilection for young girls. Very young girls. Seriously, how can she not kill him now? Chances are the cunning Stark girl will find a way to infiltrate the brothel (use your imagination) and cross another name off her list. 

In the books, it's a deserter from the Night's Watch named Dareon that Arya kills but the outcome will most likely be the same. As punishment for he actions, Jaqen gives her some milk to drink, and when she awakes she realizes she's blind. Though Arya eventually regains her sight, this would be a perfect season finale cliffhanger for the character.
