![]() A timely letter inviting Sansa to King’s Landing to discuss an armistice is also thrown into the works, giving Littlefinger the chance to suggest sending Brienne of Tarth in her place. Sansa is desperately worried that this letter will get to the Northern Lords, who are growing agitated in their King’s absence. But a simple misunderstanding of each other’s motives has forced them back into the petty mistrust they held as children. They took their separate paths, the only ones available to them at the time, and survived. Arya would have never been able to play the politics of King’s Landing as Sansa did, and Sansa would have not survived facing off against assassins and constantly living in disguise like Arya. “You never would have survived what I survived.” While Arya was running from her enemies, Sansa was keeping them close all the while both were plotting to take them down. From this narrow point of view, it is a natural conclusion to make that Sansa was a traitor to their family. From Arya’s perspective, Sansa gave in to the enemy and contributed to the series of events that resulted in their father’s death. WinterfellĪrya’s reaction to Sansa’s old letter is not good, to say the least. However, we can also definitively say that it not a relief that the White Walkers have stolen one of the most powerful weapons in existence. Season 7’s penultimate episode ‘Beyond the Wall’ does not break from this, and nor does it let down our incredibly high expectations.įocusing mostly on Jon’s terrible plan to capture a wight north of the Wall, it is a relief (at least from a storytelling perspective) that it didn’t unfold as smoothly as planned. It is at this point in a Game of Thrones season that we will usually get the season-defining moment, usually in the form of a battle.
