6. How Will Sansa Rule The North?

Sansa and Jon clash yet again at Winterfell, with the former once more speaking out against her brother in public. However, rather than punishing her for the attempts at undermining him, Jon actually rewards Sansa, putting her in charge of the North while he goes off to Dragonstone.

It's a big moment for Sansa, who finally gets the chance to rule. But while she's been vocal since Jon took over, she's never actually led before, so what will she do in the time available? Is she just going to follow Jon's lead, or start dictating things on her own terms?

There's also the question of what Littlefinger will do now that Jon is out of the way. He received a pretty, er, stark warning from the King in the North regarding Sansa, but there's almost no way Baelish will actually listen to that. Is he going to use this opportunity to further turn Sansa against her brother, and try to secure the North for himself and Sansa? And if so, just how much will he succeed?
