Game of Thrones

I'm guessing the camp with Jon's army is the place where Shireen was burned. Will Davos come across something belonging to Shireen and figure out what happened?

This!

There's also the theory that Arya was not truly stabbed, but it was instead Jaquen, who still owes her one. http://time.com/4358639/game-of-thrones-arya-stark-the-waif-theory/
Arya is a leftie and acted right-handed and 'different' in this scene ...

For someone on the run, she has a lot of clothes. She is in a different outfit next week when she leaps off the bridge. I agree that it is not what it seems. It's either not Arya or it's a fight club scenario or something else.

Oooh. I hadn't considered that, but you're right, it's very possible. Is Melisandre with them? Would Davos' wrath really make a difference?

How is Arya ever going to survive that wound. And there's no way she can avoid the Faceless Man the rest of her life, if she even lives.

I don't know, but that faceless bitch has something pretty harsh coming to her. I can't see how her relentless hatred serves the purpose of their sect.

I was wondering if it was all an illusion. People weren't reacting right.

The idea hat Arya and the waif switched faces is interesting. At the end of the scene, I thought how could Arya be left without Needle. The waif apparently stabbed her with it, and presumably still had it on the bridge when Arya went into the drink. I also did not understand why the crowd did not react as expected / seemed distorted. I chalked it up to a kind of Arya POV as she's struggling to walk with stab wounds.

I also thought the last few fight club moments Arya had were just ways of assessing the waif's weaknesses. Like she was purposely losing and letting the waif think she was superior.

PS I thought Arya was stabbed with needle. It seemed like she was stabbed with a short sword not a dagger.

They do look alike, but Diana Rigg seems prettier when she was young, to me. Natalie Dormer has weirdly pulled up lip on one side.

Does anyone else think Syrio Forel (Arya's tutor) and the Faceless Men are connected? Could that partially explain why Jaqen H'ghar is fond of her? Maybe they were watching and grooming her for a long time ... even before her father died.

For someone on the run, she has a lot of clothes. She is in a different outfit next week when she leaps off the bridge. I agree that it is not what it seems. It's either not Arya or it's a fight club scenario or something else.

I agree with the second theory, but unsure as the why- we watched the episode again last night- Arya is walking around with different mannerisms like she is Jaquen, postures, tone are all a little off, and where is needle? She knows she is being hunted. I think Jaquen (or as some folks on redditt are calling him Sexy Jesus!!) is testing them both, and Arya might not have failed the last test, maybe she isn't supposed to question, but she isn't supposed to blindly follow either- the Faceless men seem to have a code, that corresponds with justice, not just mindless assassins.

This is an even juicier theory... Arya ia the Waif - as in they are just the same person. This has a neat gif of Arya fighting and there is no one fighting against her.

Arya wasn't stabbed with Needle. It was a short-handled dagger. You can see it if you watch the scene in slo-mo. The Arya who came out of the water did look and act like herself. I think she will either find someone to heal her (the actress?) or succumb to her wounds. I also think Jaquen will be displeased with the Waif for making Arya suffer and she will end up on the wall.

Maybe Arya killed the Waif the night before, with the lights out. That is why she felt confident to be out and about that morning. The person who stabbed her at the bridge could have worn two faces (which are always taken from dead people): the old woman's and the Waif's. Underneath the Waif's face could be the young actress who wanted Lady Crane dead.

I think Arya is saved from death by the theater troop. The guy who played the actor-who-played-Tywin-Lannister/writer is Richard E. Grant - no way that guy is in just one episode for 2 minutes.

Imagine Arya returning to Westeros with the theater group. That would be a great cover for her.

I was wondering about that too, he is too recognizable to have such a brief role. I tend to think the theater troop rescues her and smuggles her back to Westeros.

I think the theater troop needs it's own spin off series on HBO. The Traveling Troop of Braavos....
