Many of the characters who survived ended up on fairly divergent different paths, some in much better places than others. Then Tyrion was put on trial by the most powerful people of Westeros, who just sorta let him take control of the situation to make a speech and install Bran Stark as the new king of the Seven Kingdoms. Bran then picked Tyrion to be his Hand. Daenerys Targaryen: Dead.
Jon, because of his intimate relationship with Daenerys, went to see her, and after a kiss, stabbed her. A very angry and sad Drogon then melted the Iron Throne with his dragon breath before flying away to some undisclosed location with her corpse.
Jon Snow: Jon ended up as a prisoner, held by the Unsullied, because he killed Daenerys. Even though he seemed to be largely forgiven for his actions by the various powers of Westeros, save for Yara Greyjoy and the Unsullied, the Unsullied would not agree to his release.
Sansa and Arya Stark said they could not visit him, but he did reunite with Tormund Giantsbane and his loyal direwolf, Ghost. Bran Stark: Thanks to a moving speech from Tyrion Lannister and the seemingly lax Westerosi policy of allowing treasonous criminals to dictate governing policy, Bran is king!
He also has all-seeing powers from being the Three-Eyed Raven, which should presumably be an asset to the realm. She wants to go west — past where all the maps stop — and is last seen on a boat on some kind of seafaring adventure.
And with Jon exiled, she becomes queen of the North, and in her last scene, a crown is placed on her head while her constituents cheer and chant.
Grey Worm and the Unsullied: After ensuring that Jon will not be allowed to live as a free man in Westeros after killing their queen, the Unsullied, led by Grey Worm, set out for Naath. Notably, however, many years later another famed adventurer claimed to have made an important discovery. Corlys Velaryon, while sailing as east as east goes, believes he saw the old, weathered Sun Chaser in Asshai.
If Corlys saw correctly then this confirms a long-believed suspicion about the known world: there are no lands west of Westeros…save for the east lands. It would seem that the known world is indeed a globe and traveling west would simply take Arya to the most eastern point on the map.
The sad news for Arya here is that the eastern point on the map is not a particularly happy place. Asshai is where Melisandre and many other red priestesses hail from. Asshai is a port where the Ash River meets the Jade Sea. It is a dark, mysterious place that very few Westerosi know about and even fewer Westerosi actually ever visit.
Perhaps Arya really is the Christopher Columbus of Westeros and will encounter a new, strange land, unmarked on any map. The important thing here is that Arya made a choice to leave. She wisely surmised that there was nothing left for her in Westeros. She had had all the adventures she was meant to have in Westeros and Braavos and then some. She had seen too much and done too much.
Time to find a new gig and leave the known world to the Westerosi. Get the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox!
If you want the short answer: there was no elaborate set-up. Arya and Sansa were untrusting of one another. But they figured it out. Let me recap the specifics of the confusion. Sansa has called everyone to the main chamber.
Her and Bran sit behind a table. They bring Arya in front of everyone. Sansa gives this speech about betrayal and seeking political victory over Winterfell. Sansa and Arya tricked him! Little Finger thought he had won! Biiiiiiiitch, you lost! But right then you start to wonder…wait, does that mean Arya and Sansa were working together the whole time?
Or no? Were all their arguments just to throw Little Finger off and make him feel secure? We also know that Arya and Sansa always had tension as kids. It makes sense that the tension they had as children would escalate into adulthood. It would be out of character and make no narrative sense for them to automatically have been on the same page and plotting this whole thing against Little Finger.
We can use the reversal of the last two points to make more sense of why Arya and Sansa actually were distrustful of one another and all the tension between them was real. Meaning the reverse would be true: they were actually fighting. Meaning the reverse is true: they actually had tension. Assuming those two things true, we would then guess that the plot would show us the sisters actively fighting and not trusting one another completely.
Next, we would expect the plot to either lead the characters to disaster or catharsis. Catharsis, in this case, means Arya forgives and trusts Sansa, and Sansa forgives and trusts Arya. That would either happen with one moment that unites them, or two separate moments where each one has a realization. We can clearly identify two separate moments that fit the bill.
Arya explains the purpose of the game is to identify when the other person is lying. This was part of her Faceless Man training. Arya then goes on to say all this shit to Sansa.
Intense shit. About killing Sansa.
