While the high point of “Broken Men” was the return of our long lost, presumably dead friend, “The Hound”, the next episode promises a lot of high-end drama. The episode description says she’s making a plan. In fact, she commands it. Margaery gives her grandmother a note and, in the presence of a Sparrow, fills the room with variety of faithful wishes to see to a safe journey.

Arya is on the move in Braavos.
Overall, the news by Bender, Lombardo, Weiss and Benioff most likely confirms that “Game of Thrones” is nearing its definite end. The brief description indicates that we’ll spend time with Jaime, Cersei, Tyrion and-yay!-Arya.
What’s new in the seventh season though is that the show runners have chose to stray away from the normal 10 episode release per season.
Who’s the Blackfish? He’s Catelyn Stark’s uncle -Brynden Tully. Jaime Lannister also threatens to kill Edmure Tully and everyone else in the castle. Will they convince more people to side with the Starks? I’m enjoying watching Jon, Sansa, and Davos (Liam Cunningham) try to work together, while their different experiences are influencing the way they interact with each other, and others. It didn’t work out too well this time as House Glover shut her down based on Robb Stark’s poor run.
Conspicuously absent from the description is any mention of the Hound, who we know is primed for vengeance against the Brotherhood without Banners. According to co-executive producer Bryan Cogman, who also wrote episode 7, the show didn’t want to ruin the return of Sandor Clegane (Rory McCann)!
Now, the most surprising comeback that we all have been waiting for. And Sandor and Gregor’s anticipated showdown is the subject of a popular fan theory known as “Cleganebowl”.
The faceless assassin was last seen with the face of a old woman, before stabbing Arya in the stomach.
