Game Of Thrones: 12 Questions We’re Asking After 'Mother's Mercy'

10. Arya... What?

That heading could be written every week for young Arya Stark. What is going on? The entire concept of using other people's faces to carry out assassinations under guidance from a divine power was always going to result in some mind-bending situations. Arya dispatched Meryn Trant in ruthless, vicious fashion, but he was an 'Arya' target, not a target for a Faceless Man, like Arya should be. The consequences played out as 'Jaqen H'ghar' downed the poison vial, only for The Waif to remove her face to reveal...Jaqen H'ghar. There's so many questions there, though Arya losing her sight is another potentially huge development. Is that a side-effect of wearing the face without proper instruction? Arya still has a way to go before becoming a Faceless Man, if she is able and allowed to continue. Her story really took some strides forward towards the end of Season 5, so expect her to shoot out of the blocks come Season 6.
