Little Finger suspects AYRA is a Stark, or more to the point, that Tywin's servant is Ayra.

[font color=white] In the books, Reek is the horrible smelling sidekick of Ramsay Snow, bastard son of Roose Bolton. Ramsay is a loose cannon who scares even his father. Ramsay forces himself on a noblewoman of the north and then forces her to marry him. Some of the other nobles of the North then rally to this woman's cause, including Lord Manderly. They hunt down Ramsay and think they killed him and also captured the sidekick Reek, who is then imprisoned at Winterfell until Robb can return. When Theon takes Winterfell, he frees Reek, who then becomes a little devil on Theon's shoulder, giving him advice. With Theon only having 30 men, he knows he can't hold Winterfell without help - Reek offers to go recruit men to help Theon. Theon thinks Reek will just abandon him, but it was worth the chance. Then, Ser Rodrik returns with like 1,000 men to surround Winterfell (different than the TV show). Then, while Theon is preparing to surrender, Reek returns outside of Winterfell with 300 or so men carrying the banner of the Dreadfort/Roose Bolton (Theon can't see this, though). Reek's men surprise Ser Rodrik and overwhelm them, killing Ser Rodrik and many others. Only Reek is revealed to really be Ramsay Snow - when he was going to be captured, Ramsay killed Reek and took his place by covering himself in excrement to trick his pursuers. A joyful Theon then lets Reek/Ramsay into Winterfell. Ramsay then proceeds to kill everybody inside Winterfell and burn the place to the ground. (The reader is left thinking Theon is about to die...)

Right now I'm freaking out over Ayra! She can get into a heap of trouble that little one.

(46,705 posts)It helped to read an excellent summation of episode 6. I was able to put everything together that I missed the first time.
Yes, when you broke things down it was done very well. The first time around it was too easy to miss who was carefully walked to safety. I mean, you knew Cersei and Joffrey were going to get priority, but actually walking them out, there was so much going on that you almost missed them behind the Hound, or whoever it was that escorted them to safety. Joffrey's facial reactions were well directed. Especially when he was facing the camera and his Uncle Tyrion was behind him scolding him. Excellent lines for Tyrion as always.
I had to catch it the second time to learn who was ripped apart. At first (when I was distracted doing something else) I thought it was a commoner. But then when I saw it was a nobleman, Tyrion's expression helped seal the horror.
And of course, the riot scene belonged to the Hound. More entrails were spilled in that scene than in all the others combined.
It is getting bloodier.

(I watched it later with comments on via HBO GO)

(46,705 posts)How do I get on HBO GO?
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)via Comcast, AT&T, etc, you should be able to get access to HBO GO on your computer or phone. (granted, the text might be a wee bit small on a phone...)
They add in comments that fill in backstory for people that haven't read the books, but also to clarify a few things as well. I'm hoping they clarify that it was the High Septon that was killed in the next episode.

(20,176 posts)I assume you've not read the books. She's about to go medieval on some people...and she spends the next entire book going medieval on several more groups of people who have it coming.
Dany is the mother of dragons and dragons are not just powerful...they're also cunning.
