WARNING: This is post is dark and full of spoilers. Well, one or two, anyway.
Last Monday’s Game of Thrones episode ended with Sansa Bolton née Lannister née Stark (wow) wrote a ~mysterious~ letter, following a fight with Jon Snow about marching on Winterfell with so few soldiers.
Despite 50% of the world being giant GoT nerds, and the rest of them in denial about it, not all GoT nerds are created equal. Some of us would have seen that letter and gone OOH, sick one, we’ll find out next week.
If you read this letter, you *might* have a future plot point spoiled for you. We can’t know for sure, as this is going farther than either the books OR the TV show, but it could well spoil a fourth act twist. You still good?
[…] you promised to protect me. Now you have a chance to fulfil your promise. […] Knights of the Vale are under your command. Ride north for Winterfell. Lend us your aid and I shall see to it that you are well rewarded.”
Long story short: she’s asking Littlefinger for help.
Lord knows if it’ll pay off. On the one hand, he’s got the men and is creepily infatuated with Sansa thanks to having a permanent semi for her mother. On the other hand, he’s a slimy git. TO BE CONTINUED.
Either way, props to the prop designers for making that shit legit.
