This episode title: The Wars to Come

Writer: David Benioff & D.B. Weiss

1. Shield up!

Jon with Ollie

Sansa watching Sweetrobin.

2. The Great Warrior/Great Hero

Sansa with Sweetrobin. Lord Royce was frustrated by Robin’s skill in sword fighting.

Jon to Mance Rayder, trying to convince him to kneel to Stannis and don’t try to act heroic.

3. Born with it

Littlefinger thinks it is not important to have a good sword fighting skill. Better to have the right name.

While Jon is defending the wildlings. A very contrasting view with Littlefinger.

4. The Lannisters

Littlefinger is taking Sansa to the North, to Winterfell to marry Ramsay.

While Stannis wanted to attack the Boltons, thinking that with Tywin gone it would be easy peasy.

Right, so we know what happened to Stannis. He was defeated despite the absence of Tywin Lannister’s hand. So in regards to Sansa, I’ve seen somewhere that the Cersei Lannister quote by Littlefinger being discussed as foreshadowing for Sansa’s kidnapping. I think this parallel with Stannis supports it. Both Stannis and Littlefinger thinks they’re safe while referring to a threat from a Lannister.

So I think this has been discussed as well, I can’t remember and I’m sorry if I’m just repeating it but here is what was said before Littlefinger mentioned Cersei Lannister.
