Game Of Thrones Season 7 Finale: 13 Huge Questions For 'The Dragon And The Wolf'

11. What's Going On With Arya And Sansa?

Arya and Sansa had a (disturbingly literal) face-off in Beyond The Wall, an odd scene that didn't do much service to either character, but did leave things in Winterfell on a Valyrian steel knife edge.

At this stage, we don't know exactly what's going on between the Stark sisters. Is the enmity genuine, and Arya could actually make an attempt to take Sansa's life? They've had a sibling rivalry in the past, but that seems a huge step too far.

So does that mean they're secretly plotting together, and will take down Littlefinger? His eventual downfall in this game seems inevitable, and there has to be a reason that dagger returned and is being passed around.

Maybe, then, it's somewhere in the middle: a genuine conflict between the sisters, but one that will be resolved - with the help of Sansa's "the lone wolf dies..." line - and ends in the demise of Petyr Baelish?
