Of course she does! We saw from her episode before where she instantly runs after not killing the women. She knows there will be consequences. Her blowing on the candle indicated she was ready to hide or fight in the dark, so it seems even more the stranger she's gallivanting around in broad daylight.

She knows she can't go back to Jaquen but she doesn't know she is a target. Lets also remember that Arya is a young kid (a fair bit younger than Masie Williams) so we have to assume she will be a little naïve.
That's another problem with the scene. We all knew the old women was the Waif! Surely Arya would be suspicious also. If that really was Arya then quite frankly she deserves to die for not learning anything in 6 seasons.
I am hoping that Arya or Jaqen put the Arya face on someone else just to satisfy the Waif's thirst or maybe Jaqen was testing to the Waif and that the real Arya is safe and sound.
She shouldn't be. This is season 6! Her character should have developed where she is not a naive stupid kid. I refuse to believe it is actually her.
Agreed & she's shown intelligence before in previous seasons. To act like she did & go out into the open was something I didn't expect from her, especially since the last time we saw her she was getting ready for a fight.
Well there's surely a balance between being paranoid about everyone she meets being the waif/Jaquen who may or may not be after her, and then being really a naïve little kid.
Much better episode, did find it funny that the Hound didn't notice his friends being massacred while he was chopping wood nearby, very walking deadish.
Probably a letter to Baelish, who has gained the weirdo cousin's absolute trust, that she'll need the Knights of the Vale, after all. It's amazing that the character with the least screen time this season has managed to make himself the barometer once again. As far as i recall, he hasn't broken his alliance with the Lannisters and the Tyrells and he's not a suspect for Joffrey's death. I'm quite sure he plays a double game again.

The "siege" scene was absolutely hilarious. I simply loved it, there was something so Monty Python-ish about it. The "whatever... this is" comment on the siege attempt, the dialogue between Jamie and Bronn and the Freys. Oh my God, the Freys... "-Surrender the castle or... or we'll do something bad to this fella. -Like what? - Hmmm, we'll cut his throat. - Who gives a shite? - Oh, feck it. Get him down." And the finale with Jamie. That was good stuff.
Also, as many have mentioned since yesterday: If Lyanna Mormont had three dragons, this show would have been over two seasons ago.

Of course she knows the Waif is after her. She's 15 years old, if you don't think 15 year old's can figure that out then you must've been a slow teenager.
only a book reader would know that you absolute bastard
that she's 15? that's a guess based on how she looks.
or that she's able to figure that out by herself? that's common sense, try it some time.
edit: oh sorry swaggy I thought you were mitch, I feel bad about the common sense comment now
I tend to disregard the age of the Starks. Weren't they all about 12 when they were walking around with long hair and big beards?
Sansa is the only Stark kid to confirm her age at any point in the show, she said she was 14 when Tyrion asked her on their wedding night.
Wait so IF IF IF Arya was to kill the Waif at some point will that make Jagen H'qar come after Arya?
The TV show pumped up the age of most of the Stark kids, all except Robb I think
that's a good point but I don't understand why Jaqen would go to the trouble of negotiating travel, looking longingly off the bridge, not expecting the waif or the panic after being stabbed
That was the best episode of the season so far.
maybe he's sacrificing his own life so Arya can take his place? After she kills the Waif due to the tactical advantage she has from the Waif thinking she's dead.
Sansa and Bran were confirmed to be 13 and 10 in the first episode.
Too true!
Much better episode then last week... this was also an episode that was largely talking and setting up future plot, but it was all, mostly, far more interesting, featuring better characters and more interesting plot points.
Also, there was no Samwell Tarley... so that helped immeasurably.
The Lyanna Mormont scene was great, as was all the stuff with The Hound (including the cold open), the scene between Grandmother Tyrell and Cerci (loved how she completely dressed her down... she's the closest thing to Charles Dance this show now has) and everything with Jamie/Blackfish was also really well done. Roll on the battles.

I'm happy with that though, deaths for the sake of "OMG!" tweets doesn't necceserily make for good television.
Agree with that though... the whole bit with Arya was just weird in general... the weakest part of the episode overall.
This is mostly true if it turns out what people are guessing it to be. I'd wait to see what actually happens and if the reasoning is satisfactory.
Ser Davos is still a boss.
Of course she does, she goes to unbury Needler for a reason, then they should her sitting in a dark room cowering with her back to a wall, that was all done for a reason.
It is symbolic of her regaining her identity as Arya Stark. Classic GoT. Tbh you can interpret the scene however you want which is also the beauty of GoT.

I thought the many faced people could only use faces of the dead?
Didn't Jaqen wear The Waif's face last season ?
Yeah. And Arya's, actually
Don't why so many people on here seemed to like this episode. Thought it was pretty uneventful. Was good to see the hound back but then we spend a good portion of the episode getting to half know some guy before he's killed and the Arya story line has been dragging on forever, so bored with it. I liked the scenes with the blackfish but overall I thought the episode was pretty meh.
Then what's the point of keeping all of those faces if you can just wear anyone anyway? 
To be fair there is a possibility that the Arya's blinding scene was written without GRRM and they added her face for a shock effect. It's unlikely though, but still... Or maybe if she and Waif already dedicated themselves to the Many-Faced God their faces are already in the systemThen what's the point of keeping all of those faces if you can just wear anyone anyway?
I wish he was my best friend.
Yeah, it's llike having the biggest cock among the unsullied.
I swear I rofled alot
When Lyanna Mormont said "62" I thought he was going to follow it with "thousand"
And then the Bolton's betrayed the crown by marrying off Sansa to Ramsay. They're basically in open revolt. Maybe going north will be the Lannister army's next step, add them into the White Walker fray.
That would make sense considering the scene looked rushed. The only thing I couldn't understand was why would stabbed Jaqen walk to the theatre? Now I've just got it, because the real Arya is probably holed up there and he's doing his last bit.
I also wonder if the pledge she forced on him to kill himself as one of her three wishes has to be fulfilled despite Jaqen getting her to change that decision?

I wouldn't mind that, I personally am not too bothered about spoilers.
