These characters range from heroic figures like the tomboy Arya Stark to villains like Littlefinger, but even the worst turn out to have psychic wounds that complicate their actions.
We also have a brief scene between Sansa and Littlefinger, as he plots and plots some more and our damsel in distress hopes and wishes for a way to escape.
Like the city itself, the show is getting a bit stagnant in the capital city even in spite of its cast of spies and vagabonds, from Varys to Littlefinger and a conniving Lannister every time you turn a corner.
