Last week, Sandor "The Hound" Clegane reappeared, and he seemed to be a man on the path to redemption. However, Arya Stark is also on quite a journey. In the last episode, she was looking for help after being stabbed by Waif. Arya's fight with her is not over yet.

　　Warning: Spoilers are coming.

　　Arya doesn't have any friends in Braavos, especially after refusing to kill Lady Crane. Jaqen had sent Waif after Arya, to kill her. She finds herself taking refuge in Lady Crane's dressing area. Crane finds her and bandages her wounds. She feeds Arya and tends to her. Crane wants Arya to come with her as the play is moving to another city.

　　However, not everything works out for Arya, yet again. Lady Crane is killed by Waif, who has come to finish the job. There's an intense chase scene between Waif and Arya throughout Braavos. Arya's wounds are reopened, and it seems as though she's purposely leaving a blood trail for Waif to follow. She finds Arya in a dark room, with one candle lit. Arya pulls Needle out and slices the light source. In the House of Black and White, Jaqen finds Waif's face in the room with many faces. Arya is there and says she's going home.

　　There's a lot of cool, smaller moments this week. It's a bit refreshing, as a lot of episodes have relied on huge cliffhangers to keep people tuned in. That doesn't happen here, but at the same time, viewers all know the battle between Jon Snow and Ramsey Bolton is happening next week. We do get a bit of finality from this part of Arya's journey. It comes to a satisfying conclusion and her story had one of the more intense moments of the season. The only question is "are we actually going to see Arya reunited with her family or will she end up heading elsewhere?"

　　Here are some other notable moments from this week's episode:

Jaime decides to let Edmure go, and once he gets in the castle, he lets the Lannisters and Freys in, since Edmure is a higher rank. Blackfish dies in a fight while being captured by his own men.
