At first, it seemed as if Sansa’s growing fury was directed solely at Jon. And no wonder, considering her wayward brother had casually informed her that he’d bent the knee to Daenerys. Y’know, without consulting the Lady of Winterfell first. Cue Littlefinger silkily suggesting that Jon has designs on marrying the dragon queen and gifting her the Northern Realms as part of her dowry.

Noting Sansa’s aghast expression, Littlefinger added softly: “He was named King in the North. He can be unnamed.”

Sansa seemed on board with this idea, although she pointed out a flaw in the scheme: Arya wouldn’t be. “She loves Jon,” she reminded Littlefinger, before pointing out that Arya is a Faceless Man now. Aka one of the deadliest assassins ever to set foot in Westeros. Littlefinger, though, was not perturbed. Instead, he made it his mission to convince Sansa that Arya is there to kill her and that everything – including finding the letter in Littlefinger’s room – was a way for her to justify her bloody actions to the people of Winterfell.

“And after she murders you, what does she become?" he asked quietly.

“Lady of Winterfell,” replied Sansa, apparently shocked by the revelation.

This Game of Thrones death sent a feminist “f**k you” to the patriarchy
