He turned into the Waif who is half his size. Of course the body changes.

They were probably thinking 'serves you well for impersonating a blind panhandler, bitch' or something to that extent.
imagine only changing the face with eveything else remaining the same 
like a terrible photoshop
like a terrible photoshopI think its a fair possibility given the video posted above from a previous season where Jaqen is Waif, and killed original jaqen has Aryas face. And yeah, its not just face. Given this is a show with magic, dragons, walkers, its bizarre that the whole body shifting is seen as absurd.
To be honest, I was half expecting Arya to wake up in a bit of a sweat having just dreamed about being found by the Waif. But then the sequence kept going...and going...and going. Then I thought shit, it's really happening!! But then I would have expected the Waif to finish the job?

which bathroom would you use?
Funny thing is it will be Arya, and then they start the next episode with her bleeding, and then shes finished off by some nobody who says "this is for pretending to be blind and taking my money"... end of her arc
Speculation on Arya's future...
I can see Arya being dead but the faceless men getting a contract to kill someone big (maybe Sansa, maybe Jon) and using Arya's "face" to carry out the hit.
Whenever I see an old woman I punch her in the face.

Arya with the Hound's head would look pretty funny.
No wonder you wrote about the 9 circles of Hell. You're probably trying to decide which one will suit you best.
Aren't the Brotherhood meant to be good guys? That was the impression I was under from their previous appearances.
I never took them for murderers of innocent civilians.
Oh boy!!
Unless they were corrupted few from the group, or impostors or just really are bad and stories about them are not entirely true?
Not really sure if this is Spoiler worthy, but it wouldn't be too much of a stretch would it ? It does seem pretty clear that all the Gods have some form of power which is seen through the believers. The Old God's warging thing, God of Light with their resurrections, and maybe possibly the God of Black and White (I think that's what they are called) with their shapeshifting. Obviously, the first two arcs were much more developed in the show, so it can seem unclear as to the exact nature of the powers, the faceless men posses. But I do recall Jaqen wearing the face of a few people in previous seasons, so I just naturally assumed it's a gift you are given once you are properly trained.
Also, wasn't Arya's first trainer (The flamboyant guy) also wearing someone else's face ? I think there is enough evidence there to suggest, that it's not just the case of swapping faces alone.
As for the ritual of cleaning the body, removing the face etc. and it's actual sgnificance, well, I have no idea. Seems like those typical standard traditions each of these Gods make their believers do.

To be fair, guerrillas always were (in real life) a very complicated problem, they tend to live off civilians and often killed them for not helping or because of the suspected collaboration. Especially in the WW2. The Brotherhood is a guerrilla army living in the hostile lands (if I remember correctly they don't like the King/Lannisters), so, while they can be good to Arya for example, they can be ruthless to some other innocents. They are a neutral force and their mission isn't to defend the peaceful people - it is to protect themselves and to serve the Lord of Light (who is quite bloodthirsty, as we know already)
Neither did I. Weren't they the ones that took in Arya and had the Red Priest who resurrected the bloke who got killed by the Hound during their trial by combat?
He is called The Many-Faced God
And while we're on the subject of the slaughter of those innocents by the Brotherhood, wtf was the Hound doing? Chopping wood the whole time?
Aah right, thanks. The shrine where they keep the faces is called the house of black and white then ?? All these names and characters genuinely confuse me.

Correct...meant to represent the many faces of death!
I just watched the episode again...what did Arya do with the bags of money before getting knobbled by the Waif?
Yes house of black and white is the name of their temple.Aah right, thanks. The shrine where they keep the faces is called the house of black and white then ?? All these names and characters genuinely confuse me.
Which leads me to believe that they could be more than a mere hitmen organization (black side) and have a white side that we are yet to discover.
The first post was edited incorrectly and has been corrected. The rules apply to all threads on the Caf and are mentioned every few pages in this thread. If you don't read them you do so at your own risk. I'd have though the first warning might have made you have a look.

You also only got one warning for spoilers. I've reluctantly reversed it due to the modmin typo in the op.
Bit of a prick tease that episode.
Nice to see old Al Swearengen albeit all too briefly and a welcome if predictable return for the Hound.
The Arya bit has no jeopardy for me at all though because she's obviously not going out like that (or they'd have just ended it this week). Also, her training seems to have been a waste of time judging by how easily she got fooled. Worst assassin ever.

That's what happens when you fail to complete your training.
It would of been worse if Arya had somehow beaten the other women considering she is much more experienced.
Also Ser Davos is a dude.
Do you need training to realize that standing on a bridge in the middle of the city and allowing random old women to approach you is not a good idea when the group you pissed off are masters of disguise?
That's why she joined up in the first place.
yeah because having been in a the big city, making arrangements for a ship while also stealing the money needed to sail on the ship means you have had no contact at all with anyone, especially any random strangers.
I mean obviously she let her guard down, but having spent they day or more moving about the city, making arrangements to set sail, she being human, could actually start to feel she is really okay and going to make it out of their just fine.
assuming that was the real Arya
Yeah they have a Red priest but I think Lovejoy was building a church to the Seven. You know how much the Red God likes competition.
He must have gone deaf when he almost died.And while we're on the subject of the slaughter of those innocents by the Brotherhood, wtf was the Hound doing? Chopping wood the whole time?
It just didn't make sense to me.Well I thought that at first myself but then why show the scene with her arranging passage to Westeros if it isn't her?
Surely that scene is there then only to fool the audience and doesn't really make any sense in the context of the story?
Only thing I can think of is if Jaqen does not know where/how Waif plans to go about her mission, so he is deliberately roaming around a bit as Arya to try to draw some attention to 'him'self.
I did look the first time, and I checked the first post again before posting today and I was discussing a trailer already posted in this thread.
I see the first post has been edited now. Good. Now I'd recommend if you really feel diligent checking out a few other show threads, because I've seen trailers posted in them. Best of luck.
You gave me a warning without checking the first post. Good stuff.
Lyanna Mormont was absolutely fantastic. What a great little actress.
She's at the battle camp too. She better not die.
