Alright, so as hard as it might be to remember, other shit did happen in tonight’s Game Of Thrones episode, ‘The Spoils of War‘, aside from a bunch of Lannisters getting flambéed by a murderous Targaryen on the back of a hell-beast.
Most notably, and heart-warmingly, tiny assassin Arya Stark finally returned to Winterfell – her true home, and a place she hadn’t seen since waaaay back in season one.
This of course meant yet another Stark sibling reunion, and this one was at least a little bit warmer than Bran‘s hyper-creepy I-saw-you-get-raped method of greeting Sansa. Compared to that, Arya’s “nothin much, got a list of people I’m gonna kill and there’s not many left lol hbu” is pretty tame.
Still, the new Lady Stark is clearly having to come to terms with the fact that her two surviving siblings are, well… kinda fucked up. And literally everyone is feeling for her in this trying time.

Sansa might be feeling a bit put out that Bran gave Arya the catspaw dagger, and is probably feeling deeply alienated by the fact that her brother appears to have had a personality transplant with a particularly taciturn brick wall, but she should remember that she’s learned and grown just as much – and dealt with just as much trauma and bullshit – as the other two have.
All wolf packs need a leader, and Sansa’s already proven how good she is at making sure people don’t like, starve to death during the years-long winter and stuff. Once she’s got over the fact that her siblings are basically psychopaths, they are gonna be a formidable team.
