The line "Arya makes progress in her training" most likely refers to her killing the ship insurance man who we know is in from the casting calls posted on WOTW over the summer. He's supposed to appear in two episodes, so I imagine his previous appearance is in either 506 or 507 and 508 is when she gives him the poisoned coin.

Theon and Sansa come face to face earlier on, but he won't speak to her. It isn't until she confronts him in 508 that he actually talks to her. Edit: Just read the thread with all the synopses. Ghost ninja'd by iheart. It would be very strange if they bothered to note the progress of a Sansa conversation in 2 consecutive synopses. And why identify Theon in 507 but not in 508? I also question the characterization of Theon as an "old friend" of Sansa's. They obviously know each other but I don't think they ever would have thought of themselves as friends. It's far more likely that it's LF as that's really the only "old friend" Sansa conceivably has on the show at this point (unless Margaery's making a trek up to Winterfell which I'm pretty sure isn't happening). Didn't a 308 summary describe Sam/Gilly's encounter with the white walker as meeting an older man? |

But there's still truth in it. |

Hold up, she is not gonna meet WW isn't she? Uncle Benjen as WW confirmed?   I think Brienne is more possible than LF, but I really don't think it's either of them....Theon is more likely but the idea of Sansa comforting this traitor makes me nauseous. |

She confronts the "old friend" not comforts them. So if it's Theon you needn't worry about her being too nice. |

"Old friend", IMO, can only be Theon. She might confront him on the betrayal (as everybody knows about everything in show Westeros, she might know details about what he did in Winterfell...)

But there's still truth in it. There some truth in saying Theon was an old friend too, he was a friend of the family at one time and at the very least a close acquaintance, sitting right across from her in the feast in the pilot. He wouldn't just be a random guy who lived in Winterfell, and the show can easily invent more Theon/Sansa history to add to this sl, maybe she had a crush on Robb's bff when she first started her terrible taste in men. He qualifies as a friend more than BriPod. If it's not LF, it has to be Theon. And she does need to confront him about her little brothers. Doesn't Sophie imply in one interview that Sansa finds out they're still alive? |

She said something like, "She has to stay alive for her brothers' sakes...if they're alive, that is, because of course she doesn't know that they might be... "
It makes sense that it'd be Theon if it isn't LF she's confronting. Someone has to guilt Theon into what he does and since it won't be the Spearwives and since neither Bri or Pod really know too much about what he got up to in WF in s2, it should be Sansa who does that. Having just done a massive ADWD Theon/Reek reread today, I can say that Sansa guilting him on this, rather than the wildling ladies doing so, would make for even more powerful stuff. If THAT threw him off, just imagine what an actual Stark bringing up his reputed crimes to him would do...

Oh D&D are writing this one? I expect that Cersei to be sparkling when they are through white washing her!  Joking I wonder if episode 9 will be the Zombie/wight battle as opposed to Winterfell or Mereen? I can live with that. I think Sansa's old friend is Theon Reekjoy. Just a mans opinion. Also I wonder if they'll have Arya finish her training by the end of this series to speed things up? No complaints here |

^The whole Hardhome sequence with wights, WWs etc. will be in 508. I doubt the NW/Wall storyline will even feature in 509.
According to Kit Harrington the Hardhome sequence itself will be around 18 minutes long. So a good third of the ep.

Awww I was looking forward to that  Ah well, Mereen is getting better anyway. I was just looking forward to that since the trailers... I need to catch up with the rumor mills. |

^Hardhome'll still be awesome. Apparently it was the most expensive battle sequence in the history of the show. They put almost three weeks of shooting into that 18 minutes of screentime, so it's certainly not gonna be a disappointment of any sort. It just won't be in ep. 9 but, after all, post-s4 ep. nines aren't the be-all-and-end-all of season anymore anyhow.  |

Yeah and then she back-tracked a bit as if she'd revealed something she shouldn't have. She said something like, "She has to stay alive for her brothers' sakes...if they're alive, that is, because of course she doesn't know that they might be... " Exactly. The tell tale sign here that she really does have something to do with her brothers coming up isn't so much the backtrack, but the fact Sophie is aware Rickon actually exists. She had to have been re-informed somehow. |

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if the Wall/NW storyline skips episode 9 entirely if Jon and Tormund don't return till episode 10. |

I don't get why the old friend would be Theon. The synopsis for previous episode says that Sansa tries to talk to Theon. I don't know if they would use the same thing in both summaries.

It's extremely unlikely. Why name Theon explicitly in the previous episode synopsis but then keep the "friend" a mystery in the next one? Also, I think it's highly likely that in the previous episode, while Sansa would have some difficulties initially talking to Theon, they most likely do end up speaking by the end of the episode. I'm pretty sure we aren't just going to have a series of scenes where she near misses or he runs away from her. |

Really looking forward to this one. I think this could be the best episode of the series. At least in regards to action scenes.
