Game of Thrones season 7 episode 2 trailer hints at huge reunion for Arya Stark and battles to come

Before even reaching Winterfell

After months of waiting, Game of Thrones has finally returned, the premiere steadily setting up the (shorter) season to come.

**Spoilers ahead for season seven, episode one ‘Dragonstone’**

One character to make a notable appearance includes Arya, who opened the season by killing the entire Frey family and later met Ed Sheeran in the woods.

However, perhaps the biggest revelation came with the episode two trailer. During a brief snapshot of images, we see a Direwolf — notably, not a white one, therefore excluding Jon Snow’s pet from the possibilities.

Instead, the shot likely features Nymeria, Arya’s now-grown animal companion. Last time we saw Nymeria, she was escaping the Lannisters, having just attacked Joffrey after the future king threatened Arya.

The girl-who-now-has-a-name made Nymeria run away, fearing the Lannister’s would take revenge; Cersei ended up having Ned Stark kill Sansa’s wolf, Lady.

During the trailer, we seemingly see Arya in shock after being reunited with the Direwolf, although this could simply be an editing trick.

Whatever the case, episode two looks set to tease some huge upcoming battles, and probably further death. Read our recap and review of the first episode here.
