This episode is certainly not the best episode of the season by far or the "Entertaining Eighth" types like the "Hardhome" or "The Mountain vs the viper"but did did lay the plot for the upcoming episodes. I was a little disappointed like most of the viewers for not having seen the battle between "the waif" and Arya Stark. Then it made sense to me. First, Arya Stark has failed against the waif on numerous occasions for obvious reasons, the waif was better at fighting. Second, Arya is severely injured and although she is a great fighter, her body would give up eventually and the waif would have killed her rather easily. Hence Arya had to defeat the waif by drawing her into her ploy. Arya was blind for a while and she was trained in darkness. So it makes sense that Arya has deceived the waif and brought her to the place where Arya will have the edge over her. We could not see this battle but we will get to see her battle at better fronts. Thanks to the waif and the many faced god. What an entry for Daenerys! The queen of Mereen has returned when the kingdom was under crisis. Will we get to see the war? lets wait for the 10th episode. There was some interesting developments with the hound, Jamie and Brienne of Tarth. These were mostly the plot for the next episode. Brienne failed to convince blackfish so she does not win the Tully army. She goes empty handed to Sansa who is all set to fight the Boltons with a small army and "Jon Snow" by her side.
I was not here to review the entire episode rather i was here to explain why the battle was not shown between the waif and Arya Stark. The ending is as epic as the ending of the "Home" earlier this season. When Arya says "The girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell and she is going home"!
