Game Of Thrones Preview: What To Expect From Season Finale Mother's Mercy

5. Brienne Makes A Move

Brienne has been hanging around outside Winterfell ever since Sansa got there earlier in the season, doing, well, nothing really. Just waiting for a sign, one the won€™t come because Sansa is inside being raped and mentally tortured. Brienne has proved so far to be to protecting Stark girls what Phil Tippett is to supervising dinosaurs. She has a chance to change that here though, as we see her and Pod looking rather surprised to see someone. Will this be Sansa after making a break for freedom, or could it be Stannis, whom Brienne has vowed to kill, or even the character book-readers are hoping she€™ll run into, even though the chances are looking increasingly slim?
