She’s been invited to the armistice, but “I will not set foot in King’s Landing while Cersei Lannister is queen. It’s far more likely that Brienne would try to reconcile the sisters before she went for the kill.īut the point is rendered moot when Sansa receives a summons from King’s Landing, and declares that Brienne will go in her stead. Sansa agrees that Brienne would indeed be so obligated, but the possibility seems far-fetched to me. While she’s pledged to both Stark daughters, she would be “honor-bound to intervene” in the event that one of them tried to harm the other. In not so many words, he suggests that Brienne could execute Arya if necessary. If they found out I wrote that letter, a woman who’s already married not one, but two enemies of her house, by the time Jon comes back he’ll have no army left.Īs usual, Littlefinger has a solution-and, as usual, it’s a terrible one. They turned their backs on Jon when it was time to retake Winterfell, then they named him their king, and now they’re ready to turn their backs on him again. Her concern isn’t for her reputation, as Arya inferred, but rather that their armies will abandon Jon if Arya shows them the letter. Later, Sansa expresses her unease to Littlefinger. Therein lies the core source of conflict: Both Arya and Sansa suffered so much so differently, and they can’t quite imagine what the other’s been through. She goes on to say that Arya “never would have survived what I survived.” That’s another truth while arguable, if the Stark sisters’ journeys were swapped, it’s unlikely that either of them would have survived. We’re standing in Winterfell again because of me.” This is a rather undeniable truth, as Sansa’s procurement of the Knights of the Vale is what turned the Battle of the Bastards in the Starks’ favor. The accusations seem to snap something in Sansa, who claims that Arya “should be on your knees thanking me. I remember the pretty dress you were wearing, I remember the fancy way that you did your hair.” I remember you, standing on that platform with Joffrey and Cersei when they dragged Father to the block. SANSA: “They told me it was the only way to save Father.”ĪRYA: “And you were stupid enough to believe them. All the same, Arya continues to remember to the Sansa she used to know, rather than the woman she’s become, and the letter only brings the past into sharper, more immediate focus. Sansa attempts to appeal to any sense of reason Arya may have left, defending her actions as those of a child manipulated into making them. With your help,” Arya accuses her sister of betraying the family, and proceeds to read aloud the letter she found in Littlefinger’s room last episode.
But the purpose of this tale, however, isn’t fond reminiscence, but a cruel segue into another argument. But as there’s nothing to be done about it, I might as well suck it up and start with the goings-on at Winterfell.Īrya begins with a seemingly heartwarming tale about how their father once caught her practicing shooting in the yard.
Between Jon’s wight hunt and Sansa and Arya’s apparent inter-family feud, I can hardly decide which is more of a waste of time. The bulk of the action this week takes place in the North, with a major concentration on the rather unnecessary battles the Starks are fighting.
