4. What Will Happen When Arya Makes It Home?

After reuniting with a couple of old favourites - HELLO HOT PIE! - Arya makes the not-so-surprising decision that, actually, King's Landing isn't the place for her, and she's much better off going back home to her family at Winterfell.

It's definitely the right move for the character, and a journey she'll be continuing on even despite Nymeria's rejection. Of course, this being Game of Thrones, it is also going to be bittersweet.

While Arya is heading back after hearing Jon is King in the North, she's unfortunately going to miss her brother as he sets off to Dragonstone. That means she'll get back to Sansa ruling the North, and Littlefinger creeping around.

Sansa and Arya never had an easy relationship, and it could be a similar reunion to the one Sansa had with Jon: emotional at first, but then the cracks begin to appear. That goes even further for Littlefinger, who Arya could dispatch easily if she so wanted. Will we see the sisters clash, or could Arya's return help push Sansa away from Petyr Baelish?
