Game Of Thrones Season 6: 10 Big Questions We're Asking After 'Blood Of My Blood'

2. Will Arya Kill The Waif And/Or Escape?

The highlight of this week's episode, for me anyway, was Arya choosing not to kill Lady Crane, and instead going and retrieving Needle. It's a moment that's seemed a long time coming, for as long as that sword was there she could never truly become No One, and I didn't want to see Arya get completely lost.

The downside is that her rejection of the Faceless Men came in front of the watching Waif, who is now on a mission to kill her (sidenote: isn't the Waif's seemingly personal vendetta against Arya rather opposed to what the Faceless Men stand for?). That's a fight we've been teased for some time now, but can Arya win? Although she's made some improvements, the Waif has still bested her, but can Arya - with the help of Needle - beat her now?

The alternative is that she simply flees, but that doesn't seem quite so dramatic. Either way, does it mean we can expect Arya to be heading back to Westeros by the time the season's over?
