Game Of Thrones: 10 Questions We're Asking After 'High Sparrow'
6. What Is Baelish's Next Move?
Every single week, the question: 'What is Baelish's end-game?' could be asked, and every single week, the answer barely becomes any clearer. The Baelish Magical Mystery Tour made a stop in Winterfell this week, as he announced plans to marry Sansa into the Bolton family. Littlefinger now has a stranglehold of the Eyrie and little Robyn Arryn, currently the Warden Of The East, now he will hold considerable sway with the Boltons as Wardens Of The North after delivering Sansa. The logical guess would be that Baelish will now move onto finding more pawns to manipulate as Warden Of The West, currently unoccupied after Tywin's demise, and Warden Of The South, held by the Tyrells. That's just what logic seems to suggest, though it really is impossible to work out a man who plans ten steps ahead. There's also Brienne and Pod to consider. They can't just march into Winterfell surely, but their destiny remains in the North with Brienne hell-bent on avenging Renly's death at the hands of 'Shadow Stannis'.
