Game Of Thrones Preview: What To Expect From Season 6 Premiere

4. Sansa And Theon Escape

Game of Thrones The Red Woman Sansa Theon

With Ramsay left stewing in Winterfell over his two prized possessions getting away, we're also going to see that escape in The Red Woman as well (and, I suppose, Sansa has red hair too, so there's that).

It's long since been confirmed that the pair did indeed survive their jump over the walls of Winterfell (as if there was any real doubt), and we've seen quite a bit of what they're up to in this episode already. The trailers have shown the pair, together and separately, running through the woods, and then a recent clip showed them making their way into a river, despite Sansa's claims that she'll die (spoiler alert: she won't).

It's a safe bet that Bolton men, and perhaps the dogs, are on their trail. We know they're going to get away safely, but their escape should still be a thrilling sequence, and may still be able to sneak in a surprise or two as well (they've shown so much of this that they must be holding something back).
