7 questions for Game of Thrones season 7
By Corey Smith
6. What did Sansa just do?
The second trailer for season 7 opened with Sansa Stark slow walking her way out of what appears to be the godswood of Winterfell. As her eyes flit back and forth, and a slight smile appears on her lips, it’s clear something of significance just happened. What exactly might that be though?
Sansa swore off playing in season 4, but we’ve seen her visit the godswood twice since returning to Winterfell. The first instance was her wedding to Ramsay Bolton, and the second was post Battle of the Bastards with Littlefinger. Baelish confessed his love for Sansa here, but the eldest Stark daughter was uninterested (and who wouldn’t be with her exes). Without a desire to pray, and coupled with the bad memories of the godswood, we’re guessing Sansa only visits for important reasons.
As its unlikely Sansa is there for another marriage, we’re gonna guess Sansa is here for the opposite; an execution. That would explain the skittish look that flashes across Sansa’s face as she strolls out. Without Jon present (the trailers put Jon all over Westeros) Sansa would be the authority in Winterfell and could order the execution of anyone she pleased. Who might that be remains a mystery, but Sansa probably doesn’t meet with just anyone in the godswood. Better watch your back Littlefinger.
