How would you remove your own face without, you know, killing yourself?
Other than that, I really like that explanation. It's an incredibly good theory. So good, that every scene with Arya now is me ever so slightly suspicious that she's actually the Waif.
How did Jaqen drink the poison without dying?
Faceless Men are metal af, Formy.

Also another thing I thought would be picked up on but didn't: the Waif clearly showed emotion by not just killing Arya quickly and painlessly (like was asked of her) and instead stabbed her in the stomach, and twisting the knife. I thought that would be exploited somehow against the Waif, showing that she's just as bad at following orders as Arya is.
It's funny, had D&D proven themselves actual competent writers in their own right when they aren't following GRRM's blueprints I would actually be worried of this theory coming true, but since they've proven time and time again to not be, I've nothing to fear.
Had this been their plan there would be no subtly. The waif would be shown killing Arya on screen and taking her face when the episode ended just for the reaction alone. Jaqen said what he did as a setup for Arya's line. Nothing more.

Confirmed: Arya is Wolverine.
Stabbed multiple times in the belly. Don't worry though because an actress is on hand to perform major abdominal surgery leading to a near full recovery within 24 hours. Just a nice long sleep and she's all set to go running round the streets unhampered.
Bollocks.
To be fair, I think we're meant to assume at least a couple of days have past. I don't think anyone would be like Arya was after 24 hours. It's just really hard to show the passage of time.
Even a couple of days is unrealistic. Ah well, I'll let it slide. I'm just glad Arya (if it is her) has finished with the whole Faceless God saga because it was becoming very tedious.
It's a shame Westeros is so sexist. If this woman was on hand to tend to King Robert's wounds back in Season One he wouldn't have died.
While we're on the subject, UGH why did Lady Crane have to die? She was my favourite side character! I mean, sure, I am somewhat biased: I love Essie Davis as an actress (she's fantastic in Miss Fisher) and I just wanted that whole sub-plot to just... end nicer.
If I have to be honest, season six has been great but the last two episodes have been markedly less impressive to me than before.
Next week is gearing up to be epic though. I love a good battle!
Not every episode can knock it out of the park, I guess, as much as any TV show wish they could.
I'd hate to say it, but I have a feeling that (SPOILER)Rickon is going to die.
As far as Arya running through the streets while still recovering: she could run or she could die. And she also tore open her stitches in the process. I'm not seeing the problem. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug.
I just found this whole bit of the plot pointless. It would have been so much better if Arya killed the Waif the first time she blew out the candle. Instead, we had that epic moment of her recovering needle and going back to bed and blowing the candle out..... then next time we see her she's running about clear as day throwing bags of gold down and gets stabbed in the stomach really badly, then falls into a troutty river - people have died from less in this show. But no, she escapes, is tended by this woman, then is chased around again - is able to do parkour, fall down a trout load of steps - and THEN she snuffs the candle out again. It just felt like, overly cinematic. She can then kill the Waif, slice her face off, and walk around in the House of B&W looking uninjured.
THEN to add to this pile of slop, Ja'qen reveals that a girl really is no one - and she replies with "No I'm Arya Stark man" and he's just like "Ayyyyyyyyyy!"
This was Sand Snakes bad, I can't defend it at all.

Remember guys:
Arya stabbed multiple times in the gut, falls down about 50 steps: walks it off
Khal Drogo, one of the greatest warriors of all time, dies of a scratch
The plot armor is real.
I agree. Her life was in danger, adrenaline can do a lot.
