Arya was clearly perturbed by the play she saw and we know she still has Needle buried in some rocks, so we're left to believe a girl is still someone. Yet we see her drink from the bowl of poison water and Jaqen says something like "If a girl is truly no one she has nothing to worry about". So the question is: Are the gods easily fooled, or is Jaqen testing her commitment further? I'm not sure what to make of it.
Jaqen must know that Arya really pines to go back to Westeros - I doubt that girl is fooling everyone, so maybe he's nudging her along that goal? In secret, sympathetic to her cause? Bit of a long shot, admittedly.
I think the water was bulltrout and it was a leap of faith test. I'm not convinced the Many-Faced God is even A Thing in the way R'hllor or the Old Gods are.I really find that hard to believe. He has no emotions whatsoever. I think he'll kill Arya if she disobeys orders or tries to get out.
Eh. It was only a thought. But he has given Arya a lot of chances.
My prediction for Arya this season is she makes a half turn towards becoming a girl with no name, go gets her clothes and Needle, then just sort of encompasses the best of both worlds. I don't know how it'll play out because I'm under the impression you don't just "quit" the training of the faceless. There's too much at stake having someone walk around with that information.
ABOUT TIME COLDHANDS MAKES AN APPEARANCE
The Tarly feels ;-; Sam's mom and sister are the sweetest
oh smurf randall srsly
AWWW YEAH SAM GROWN BALLS
Yes, Arya. Also UH OH. AND NEEDLE.
OH MACE that hat xD
GODDAMN HIGH SPARROW CRAZY EYES
So Coldhands IS Benjen
Uncle benjen!
Arya is not no one. Arya is arya freaking stark.
Poor Sam but he totes got revenge, plus they need that sword.
If that's all Arya's storyline here was leading to then it was a complete waste of time.
Cool to see some returning characters, can't believe they tied up the Benjen loose end.
Nice big ass dragon Dany, but we've heard this speech before and it usually goes nowhere.
Mace the mothersmurfing Ace.
Also Mad King in Bran's visions!

smurf yeah! Burn them all indeed.I half agree. The storyline itself has been meh, but I actually thought the scenes in the episode were the best she's had in a couple of years. She actually feels empathy for, of all people, Cersei and maybe realises taking lives isn't something to be done so casually after all. Which is good because the OMG BADASS ASSASSIN trout doesn't really do it for me.
I'm dead. Done. If anyone needs me I'll be tending to my sides.
SMURFING CALLED IT.
I had a feeling recently that Arya will kill 'Jaqen' and that girl with the plain face. Maybe next week? Maybe that's her test all along? Who knows, it's getting dumb. It seems unlikely that Jaqen tried that hard to recruit her and train her for him to just give the kill order with such nonchalance.
Also, Dany with another shout speech - how convenient that the dragon showed up right at the point huh? She's reaching like, God status and I'm wondering if that will be her downfall in the end to be honest.
I think Jamie is going to die. :(
Okay I'm basically like 100% sure Arya has to kill Plain Face. And also, she blew out the candle because she was blind and can handle that trout. And then Plain Face is not gonna see Needle coming..... Sneaky, sneaky girl....
Benjen is Coldhands!! BENJEN IS COLDHANDS.
i think its a shame they gave away the mystery of Coldhands so fast :3 and he has no elk!
The girl has a name after all
i kind of wanted a big battle between the army and the Faith.
and Dany is repeating her own storyline :( i hope they finaly sail for Westeros sooner or later
Some pretty great stuff this episode, even though it was almost 100% predictable (exception: did not see Tommen joining the church thing). This show is so great that even the predictable stuff is pretty awesome.
