Whole scene of the attack was pretty obvious to me. I couldn't see her getting off the island. No way the waif was gonna globetrot to get her. Once i saw the "old woman", i said uh oh, she dead.

And then bam. Stabby McStabberson stabbed the **** out of her.

The Hound already established why they would have. "You have food, supplies, steel, women etc". Makes sense to me in the GOT universe where travelling outside of cities is essentially stepping into anarchy.

And I think they left food spilled on the ground....so I guess it must have been the steel!

The Arya storyline last two seasons is objectively terrible writing, period.

The hound scenes this episode were totally pointless. They were there for one reason; to tell us, the audience, for the millionth time that good people suffer in the GoT world. As if this is someone unknown to us.

Title of show should be GoT: f*ck subtext.

Brotherhood don't murder innocents. They protect them.

Must have been terrifying living in a time where people could come into your village and just murder everyone because they want your stuff.

I liked the Hound scenes. I think it serves his arc primarily not the general subtext of the show. Leaving Kings Landing - being a dick to everyone to serve his own best interest - watching over Arya even though she wanted to kill him (realized he deserved it) - getting saved and working for the groups well being over his own - back to revenge mode but probably less of a dick.

Maybe wasn't brotherhood then? What's your point? Show deviating from source material?

waif waited a while and then had a satisfied smirk like the job was done.

I think that's right -- the scene held for several seconds from the perspective of the waif looking down at blood in the water. I got the definite impression that the Waif thinks Arya is gone.

Definitely agree - she was obviously looking for Arya potentially surfacing again and then she'd have to finish her. Arya appeared to have drowned and she was happy because she didn't have to get her clothes wet. Everybody wins!

It's her grandmother, and the rose is House Tyrell's sigil. It's letting Olenna know that she's still true to their family.

Seems unnecessary and risks getting caught though. A literal wink would've done the job and no physical evidence.

Re: Arya

A theory I read elsewhere:

That was not Arya, it was Jaqen.
1 - Arya is left handed. In this episode she throws the money bags with her right hand, not her left.
2 - Where is Needle? She wouldn't be walking around without it.
3 - Last episode she was shown hiding in a cave/dark room, clearly worried about being found. Why would she be out and about now?
4 - Jaqen promised her 3 lives back in season 2(?). She picked him as her 3rd name. So now he takes her face and "dies" for her, which also lets him spy on the waif to make sure she follows his orders.
