Game Of Thrones: 5 Winners & 5 Losers In 'First Of His Name'

1. Sansa

The moment you start to think that Sansa might be out of the woods is the moment when someone crazy starts to threaten her and make her upset. The series returns to the Eyrie for the first time since Season 1, and we€™re reintroduced to Catelyn€™s batty sister Lysa and her creepy son Robin. This time around, Lysa appears to be behaving like a regular human being; she greets Sansa warmly, and welcomes her to her new home. Perhaps last time we just met Lysa in the midst of her paranoia? She had just lost her husband, and believed a Lannister was lurking behind every shadow, waiting to kill her. Fair enough, now that things have calmed down she€™s probably not so wild and irrational anymore. No? Because Aunt Lysa is a full-blown nut job, the charade can only be maintained for so long, and this time she takes out her crazy on Sansa once they are alone together. Lysa accuses Sansa of sleeping with her new husband, Littlefinger, knowingly full well that Littlefinger has always loved the girl€™s mother and perhaps sees her young reflection in Sansa. Her suspicions are not far off the mark, as Littlefinger most likely does have a desire for Sansa, but as of yet, nothing has come of it and Lysa€™s accusations are false. Nevertheless, Sansa is afraid of her aunt€™s confrontation, and becomes deeply upset. Lysa then drops the hint of Sansa€™s grim future at the Eyrie, saying that she shall be married to her little cousin, Lord Robin. It€™s a tough call to say which marriage will end up worse for Sansa: trapped in King€™s Landing with Tyrion and the Lannisters, or trapped in the Eyrie with Robin and Lysa?
