Last week episode was great, character driven with superb dialogue and in all this near the end we get a few minutes of Arya's story . And it just didn't make any sense .
She knows very well that since she failed her mission the faceless organization will send people after her , Jaqen even warns her there will not be a "3rd time " , so the character knows she is in mortal danger . Despite all this you see her casually roaming around the city booking passage on a ship and looking at sunsets without a worry.
You would think that after all she has been through she would be more careful , paranoid , wary of everyone . And then the waif in disguise as a sweet old lady doesn't raise any suspicions from Arya even tho she saw that face last season in the hall. Even if this is all a ruse to catch the assassin that she knows they will send after her she wouldn't be so foolish as to let anyone get close enough that they would have a chance of killing her , she had a lot of training, she knows how they operate and this reason wouldn't work either . So with a slash across her belly and 2 stabs the last one even had a twist she manages to get away .
Because of the above reasons Arya scene doesn't have any logic unless there is a twist to be revealed and we all had speculations and various theories to what might happen.
It turns out this week it was exactly what we saw no twist no logical explanation for the characters behavior just awful shameful writing to get Arya from point A to point B . Even more so it appears she has just a flesh wound .And no she wouldn't have had time to heal it was a matter of hours when the waif found her again not weeks but hey screw logic , D&D need to get her to Westeros .The way Arya manages to defeat the waif by trapping her in a room pitch dark works fine , problem is everything leading to that are all the issues listed above .
Anyways onto probably the last scene between Arya and Jaqen he says "Finally a girl is no one" why would he say that ? Isn't it obvious ? She refused to carry out the mission you gave her , she killed the assassin you sent after her, she is threatening you with Needle . This was worse then the Dorne plot.
The rest of the episode was decent ,Dany comes home and finds out her children have been naughty , Jaime did well in the end , Cersei is screwed , and The Hound found a new pair of boots , my favorite scene this season so far.
