She was left to stumble through Braavos, bleeding out; it’s unclear if she survived the attack. Predictably, fans were startled by this fairly significant event on an otherwise quiet episode. Startled, but ultimately not surprised — many people seem to think she had it coming. > [](https://twitter.com/Willi%5FMae/status/739635363640152065) > [](https://twitter.com/TommenGoogling/status/739637366260781057) > [](https://twitter.com/NabilahKhachab/status/739636897358741508) > [](https://twitter.com/KeshRue/status/739635344430223360) > [](https://twitter.com/ReaganGomez/status/739635565641891840) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4357855/game-of-thrones-arya-stark-season-6/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4357855/game-of-thrones-arya-stark-season-6/"},"headline":"Everyone's Talking About What Just Happened to Arya Stark on Game of Thrones","datePublished":"2016-06-06T03:14:16.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T22:23:58.626Z","description":"Warning: Spoilers for season 6 episode 7 ahead","url":"https://time.com/4357855/game-of-thrones-arya-stark-season-6/","keywords":["Television","Arya Stark"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5701f1b49610a8e0/6987ea4c55a859a655a897b8/game-of-thrones-12.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nash Jenkins","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/p-nash-jenkins/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5701f1b49610a8e0/6987ea4c55a859a655a897b8/game-of-thrones-12.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"game-of-thrones-12","caption":"Maisie Williams as Arya Stark.","creditText":"Macall B.
