8. A Girl Is Arya Stark

Arya Stark arrived home in a big way in the Season 6 finale, surprisingly showing up at the Twins to kill Walder Frey (and bake some Frey Pies while she was there). It's unknown where Arya's storyline will take her this year, but since she said she was "going home" it's likely we will see her back in Winterfell at some point.

This, however, still very much looks like the Riverlands, and is almost certainly an inn on the road. In the full image (below) you can say a tray in front of her, so she's popped in for a meal, but it's the expression on her face that says the most. There's definite recognition there, and at least apprehension if not fear.

That suggests she's seeing someone who will definitely recognise her. It could be the Hound or the Brotherhood, before making it North; it could be Melisandre (though she'd probably look angrier then); it could be Gendry (which would be awesome, but he's more likely to return at Dragonstone); and the final - and favourite, let's be honest with ourselves here - possibility is that it's the long-awaited return of Hot Pie!
