This would turn the series upside down.
Before we proceed any further, it’s necessary to add that there will be spoilers for the current season of Game of Thrones and possibly George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire books.
One thing, other than Arya’s fate, probably stands out in your mind more than any other when you think of last week’s episode of GoT, and that is the return of the Hound from his presumed death.
Typically, bloodshed followed Sandor Clegane wherever he went and the group of people he’d settled with were murdered by the Brotherhood Without Banners.
We didn’t see the attacks, but earlier in the episode three men rode up to the group earlier in the episode, and it has been confirmed that one of those three was ‘Lem Lemoncloack’ (a prominent character in the books).
The actor confirmed as much on Twitter.

Fans of the books will know that Lemoncloak remains in the Brotherhood Without Banners after the group is taken over by Lady Stoneheart.
Who is Lady Stoneheart you ask? Well, she is the revived corpse of Lady Catelyn Stark who is hell bent on revenge for the murder of the son and is unsurprisingly anti-Lannister in every way.
Since the Brotherhood Without Banners have been absent since the third season of the show, some fans believe that their reemergence could signal a return for Lady Stoneheart/Catelyn Stark.
We’ll just have to wait and see.
