3. The Weirwood Tree

Arya's storyline picked up a little bit this week as, in addition to getting her a*s handed to her by the Waif, she actually got her sight back. It was there that the show really dove once more into the battle faced in becoming no one and leaving Arya Stark behind.

She was questioned a lot about her past and the kill list, and obviously the answers were convincing enough for Jaqen, but there was a visual clue to the Arya that still lies within her. When we find her in the House of Black and White, she's praying in front of the face of the weirwood tree - the same tree that Bran now lives in, and the one people of the North use to worship the Old Gods.

Although seeing her become a badass Faceless Man is enticing, I don't think we'll ever truly leave Arya behind, and this is just another hint that one day she's going to retrieve Needle and remember exactly who she is.
