Unfortunately, she’s found by her sister before she can leave. It’s only after Brienne has left that we see Sansa’s uncertainty.ĭeciding to hunt for the letter in Arya’s room, Sansa makes an unpleasant discovery among her sister’s things- what looks like several human faces.
Brienne protests, and wants to at least leave Podrick behind to watch after Sansa, but she insists coolly. Cersei is demanding the Lady of Winterfell’s presence but she won’t be going- her lady knight will be sent in her stead. Which is why Sansa takes the opportunity to send Brienne away when a raven arrives from King’s Landing. Littlefinger works his snaky magic, stoking her paranoia while feigning help, and implanting the idea that Brienne may be forced to intercede in this fight (which would probably wind up harming Brienne)…
Later, Sansa frets over the argument, talking it over with Littlefinger and worrying she’ll lose the Northern lords if they discover the letter. The sisters part ways with a divide between them growing greater by the day. Arya observes that the Northern lords would disapprove of Sansa if they discovered the letter. Angry now, Sansa points out that Winterfell would be gone without her actions taken to win the Battle of the Bastards. Arya bitterly recalls the day of Ned’s execution, revealing she was in the crowd watching. A distressed Sansa protests she had no choice, being a child then. She produces the letter Sansa was forced to write in season 1, as proof of her sister’s betrayal. But the humanity slides away as Arya accuses Sansa of helping the Lannisters kill their father. As she reminisces, it seems as though there’s the old Arya in her face, expressive and human, speaking of her father applauding her aim. Tonight, it begins when Sansa comes upon a pensive Arya overlooking the courtyard, and the younger sister shares a poignant memory of Ned watching her shooting an arrow at a target over and over. The tension between Sansa and Arya is reaching a boiling point. If you have not read the books yet, we encourage you to check out our non-book-reader recap, by Oz of Thrones!
