Arya Stark’s Most Epic Moments In Game Of Thrones, Ranked – Looper

After leaving the Faceless, Arya Stark returns home to Winterfell. And much like she has changed, so have her siblings. For starters, she finds that Petyr Baelish, AKA Littlefinger (Aidan Gillen), has grown close with her sister Sansa, and that Sansa is wary of the deadly warrior that Arya has become. Similarly, Arya worries that Sansa is too soft on her subjects. However, her biggest concern is Littlefinger, as she knows that he’s manipulative and power-hungry. Arya decides to follow him in order to see what he’s up to. However, Littlefinger is on to her, and he works to drive a wedge between the two sisters by manipulating them both.

Luckily, the sisters discover the truth and decide to work together to hold Littlefinger accountable for all his actions throughout the series — including betraying their father to the Lannisters. Once Littlefinger discovers this, he begins to beg for his life. However, Arya quickly silences him by slitting his throat in the throne room before he can utter any more pleas. It seems that he messed with the wrong Stark kids.

What’s ironic is that he dies in the same way that Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) does during the Red Wedding. Littlefinger always loved Catelyn and was jealous when she married and fell in love with Ned Stark, making things even creepier when he began to develop feelings for her daughter Sansa. Suffice it to say, we’re happy Arya finally killed him.
