Game Of Thrones Season 7: 11 Major Plot Hints From The New Trailer

3. Stark Reunion

Game Of Thrones Season 7 Trailer Bran
HBO

As it stands, Jon and Sansa are the only Starks at Winterfell, but that's all about to change. Sansa, by the looks of things, will be remaining there for a lot of the season - 'there must always be a Stark etc etc' - while Jon goes off fighting Beyond-the-Wall and meeting Daenerys at Dragonstone.

Then there's Arya. Last year she claimed to be going home; this year, every shot has shown her cold and alone. There's a good chance that's all setup for her return, and eventually making it back to Winterfell, hopefully alongside her direwolf Nymeria.

As for Bran, this trailer does reveal he makes it back into Westeros, and quite possibly to Winterfell itself. We see him in a Godswood, and the guy next to him appears to be Maester Wolkan, who served at Winterfell under the Boltons. That strongly suggests he too has made it home.

That would mean Sansa, Bran, and Arya at the very least being reunited, and you'd think Jon will make it home again at some point too, giving us a big, happy (but also sad, given what's happened to them all) Stark reunion. The pack survives, indeed.
