Ok, first, wow, they are just totally off the books now, 100%.
My take on each story line.
Littlefinger is playing a much bigger game than wanting Warden of the North from Cersie. If that is all he wanted, why spend time teaching Sansa a few tricks and giving her a backbone? I agree with SteelCurtain, he's playing with Cersie.
Sansa, poor dear, develops a backbone but much good it does her. I think this final scene was, sadly, just a woman in the fridge kind of trope. Theon was allowed his name back, and watching her be raped when he feels guilt for causing so much dissent and pain for the one family who treated him with kindness and respct is going to eventually move him to action. I think this was setting up a Theon is going to kill Ramsey plotline.
Arya, just fucking WOW! Best part of this episode. Loved the room of faces, cried when she finally learned to lie and helped that poor child die. Mercy killing. It was horrible and beautiful all at once. Also, "I hated the Hound!", smack "The girl lies to the many faed god and to herself". Awesomesauce, I knew she cared about him by the end.
Kings landing....they arrested Margery and her bro? Olena is not going to take this sitting down, or standing up, or at all. What will be the result of this, I hope, WILL be something from the books (reverseo onto Cersie for her incest). But poor Tommen, being the child of incest, will he get caught up in that as well? Will the queen of thorns use the holy nutjobs or find a way to get rid of them, or both?
Tyrion. Not much actually happening there this, now they are on a faster track to Dany, so yay for that I guess. The slavers just seem like a plot device to move them to Dany faster. Will we get to see Dany watching a fight in the Pits when Jorah comes out? Will we get the Drogon scene or some variation on it at least?
Jamie/Bron/Myrcella, I have no clue where this is going. Bron can sing though! I wanted to hear the end of the Dornisman's wife!
MIA this week were Dany and Brienne. I think they are on hold until the Jorah/Tyrion and Theon/Sansa/Ramsey plotlines move along a bit more, so they can tie those together, respectively.
