The person jumping in this picture...
...is not wearing the same clothing that Arya was while she was bleeding all over Braavos.

I think probably Arya will have a cat and mouse showdown with the Waif, at which point she will finally best her and defeat her, probably killing her. The Waif's death will satisfy the requirement for a death and free Arya from any more retribution from the Faceless men. She'll then return to Westerosi where she will use her new skills to somehow profoundly influence the conclusion of the story. I could see them re-introducing her wolf at that point and showing Arya as some powerful assassin/wolf warger combo. That's just a wild ass guess, but I could see them going that way.

Re: Arya
As we know, the timelines for all the characters don't exactly line up. We've seen Arya in what seems to be a fairly short span of time this season, while people have been travelling all over Westeros in the meantime.
What if Arya is a few months behind the other plotlines, and she will actually be in hiding for a few months while she heals and plans her next move. Maybe she meant to pass herself off as dead to regain the element of surprise.
quote:
and that is supposed to look like Arya jumping off that balcony.
She's either going to be magically healed, or a period of time will pass and she will heal naturally, OR it's all a ruse like somebody suggested and she's not really stabbed (least likely, in my opinion).
What isn't going to happen: That's not going to Jaquen acting as Arya. That's not some dupe that Arya made look like her to use as bait.

A big part of Arya's arch and development has been her going from a helpless little girl to somebody who can hold her own against powerful warriors. I think we will get some kind of payoff from that in the end. I don't think they'll just continue to have somebody bail her out of trouble. At some point they have to show that she has grown and is a formidable character in her own right.
quote:I mean, you aren't guaranteed to die from that.
If Arya survives being stabbed 3 times in the gut and falling in a canal, I am done with this show. Unless they can somehow justify it with magic.

You know anybody who survived a similar incident?

Question about Lyanna Mormont: She was Maege Mormont's daughter and Lord Commander Jeor Mormont's niece? Wouldn't she have a different last name if Maege and Jeor were brother and sister since presumably Maege she married someone of another house?
quote:
Maege has five daughters: her eldest and heir, Dacey, Alysane, Lyra, Jorelle, Lyanna. She has no sons. It is not known who her husband was (he is presumably dead), or why she and her daughters continue to bear the name Mormont, rather than the name of her husband/their father. One possible explanation is that her spouse came from a family of lower nobility, or no nobility at all, than the Mormonts, in which cases the woman's surname can be used instead.

Bronx girl was stabbed at least five times by a maniac who had just murdered her grandmother but she was still able to run to an upstairs neighbor for help as he set their apartment on fire.

Not to change the topic,but something that did bother me was Bronn's conversation with Jaime where he seemed to indicate he had yet to receive the castle and a noble bride for his service. I thought he already got those things? What am I missing?

Honestly, I think that's the Waif chasing Jaqen.

The music in the episode's final scene may also prove this theory. Reddit user PrinceInDaNorf pointed out that the background music that plays as The Hound walked through his slaughtered companions is the same music that plays when Catelyn asked Brienne to swear loyalty to her in season 2.

well he was supposed to get married....but Cersei ruined it.
Tyrion offered him some wealth and land to be his champion....but Cersei offered a wife, Lollys Stokeworth, who had a title and land she would inherit.
Bronn took her up on the offer....and leaves at the end of season 4....but....
When Jamie goes to enlist his help for the Dorne expedition to rescue Myrcella he informs him that Cersei has arranged for Willas to wed Lollys instead of him. Jaime, however, tells Bronn that he will get a much better girl and a much better castle once they return. So Bronn agrees.
