Of armor or something like it filled with fake blood to fake out the waif. She's smart and knew this was coming.
The scenes for next week with her jumping thorough Windows makes me think her physical health is just fine

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 Lyanna 's father is of another house?

Wondering if they'll have Arya run into the actress whose life she saved. She'll get her healed up and on her way. Except that it's really Jaqen. The Faceless follow through with their hits, and it wouldn't surprise me if Jaqen was watching the waif try to kill Arya the entire time. Jaqen is focused on the purity of what they do, and it seems like the waif is angier and more impetuous than the order strives for.

Like many have said, seems unrealistic to have such a survivor, who has spent the better part of her life dodging death, let her guard down so easily for some sightseeing. It is a ruse / plan.

Ahhhh yes. Clearly another case of Meinertzhagen's Haversack.

Al Swearengen offering the Hound some hidden Ale made it worthwhile episode for me.

Is GoT "Fight Clubbing" Us?
I hated this theory...until I thought more about it.
Perhaps the Waif only exists in Arya's mind, and those scenes where Arya (the blind homeless girl) was beaten in the street up by the Waif simply looked like a schizophrenic homeless girl flailing her stick around as if fighting an imaginary person. That's why people seemed to glance over for a brief second as she started fighting the Waif in the street, but nobody really cared after that first glance.
The theory here is that a person's inner "faceless man" must kill off its previous identity. It's a long process that starts with the inner faceless man showing up. It's presence causes a lot of conflict as you can imagine, but what appears to the audience to be conflict with another person is really inner conflict. That conflict continues to grow, starting with little spats of words and eventually getting physical & violent. It culminates with the murder of "the person" by the inner "faceless man." So it isn't really that a girl becomes noone...it's that a girl dies, and noone is all that's left.
Or at least that's how it's supposed to be. It could also culminate into the person killing the inner faceless man in self defense. If that happens, the person will never become noone...because noone is dead. As of right now, Arya and noone (the Waif) are both still alive, so it could go either way. Arya is putting up a fight that Jaqen didn't expect.
If you go back and watch Arya's interactions with the Waif on youtube, I think there's a very good chance this theory is right. This clip is especially convincing for me. Starting at 2:35, Arya asks the Waif who she is. She says she's from Westeros, just like Arya and the daughter of a Lord, just like Arya. Then her story starts to stray from Arya's story quite a bit. Perhaps this is Arya learning to lie about her identity but basing it on reality (which are the most effective lies). The Waif then calls Arya out for not being able to tell if it was true or not. The scene at 4:15 has Arya trying to lie to Jaqen using the exact same strategy...starting with the truth and then straying from it, but it failed to convince him because she was Arya and not her inner faceless man (the Waif).
I think the stabbing wasn't real...at least not in the physical sense. It was figurative. If you notice, the crowd looking at Arya didn't react like people looking at a little girl bleeding to death before their eyes. They acted like people looking at weird little schizophrenic girl crying & holding her stomach as if in pain and stumbling around.

Is Jaqen just part of Ayra's mind as well? At the end of all this Ayra is just dreaming on a rocky ship on it's way to Bravos, which is inside a set of marbles that is being played by alien Bruce Willis who died playing on his childhood sled Rosebud.
