Taking advantage of the winter weather, Sansa makes a snow recreation of Winterfell. Lysas son Robin notices her creation, and they talk about Sansas former home. Robin comments on Winterfells lack of a moon door and tries to add one to Sansas snow sculpture, but knocks over one of the towers. Sansa, understandably upset, says that he ruined it, but Robin doesnt see it that way and starts to throw a temper tantrum by kicking the sculpture. Sansa slaps him and he runs off crying. Petyr, whos been watching in the background, tells Sansa that Lysa should have disciplined him along time ago by hitting him. After briefly talking about Winterfell and demolishing the old home to build a better one, Sansa asks Petyr why he really killed Joffrey. He says that he loved her mother very much, and Joffreys murder was primarily revenge for her death. Saying that shes more beautiful than her mother, Petyr kisses Sansa (dude, boundaries), although neither are aware Lysa is spying on them. Lysa laters confronts Sansa in the moon door room. At first, Sansa believes Lysa is upset because Robin got hit, but it soon becomes clear that she saw the kiss when her aunt calls her a whore and holds her down in front of the moon door. Lysa exclaims how everyone whos stood between her and Petyr is now dead, but before she can take any action, Petyr calls for her to stop. He manages to talk her into letting Sansa go, promising that hell send her away so he and Lysa can be together. Lysa relents, and she and Petyr embrace as Sansa moves away from the door. Petyr tells Lysa that hes only loved one woman his whole life. Smiling, she expects to hear her name, but he simply states, Your sister, and pushes her through the moon door. While the murder was unexpected in the moment, in hindsight it makes sense. There are two things we know for sure Petyr loves: power and Catelyn Stark. Hes slowly attained more power throughout the seasons, and Lysa has played an important part in his plans. He convinced her to kill her husband Jon Arryn, which was what started most of the political trouble in Westeros. Despite marrying her, hes never seen her as more than a means to an end, which is why he was able to kill her with such ease. She may be Catelyns sister, but she never meant anything to him romantically. Sansa, on the other hand, he truly cares for, although that doesnt change the fact that the kiss was super creepy. Whether he truly loves her or is just manipulating her is unclear, but one thing is certain: Petyr has Sansa right where he wants her, and hell use her to his advantage however he sees fit.
