Saw 8x03 AMAZING! AND BOOYA TO THE WOLF OF WINTERFELL!
But this scene takes place a day before and just after Jaime's talk with Bran.
With Bran telling Arya what she must to and become in the future.
It looked so different.
After all this time, it was so different...yet many things remained the same.
The Godswood for instance...
Arya stared at the wood, then around...looking for him.
Then she looked and scowled.
She saw the Kingslayer marching away from her brother, but Bran appeared to be unhurt.
After a moment, Arya walked up to Bran asking "let me guess, you knew I was coming?"
Bran stared at her impassively "...I appreciate your concern Arya. But Ser Jaime was not going to hurt me."
Arya scowled, looking where he had left, then back "how do you know? He's a Lannister, the Ki-"
Bran cut her off "Ser Jaime."
For a moment, Arya wondered why he was standing up for the Kingslayer, but she let it go "I know you see all, but I'm still your sister. I'm allowed to worry."
She swore his lip twitched a moment, then Bran stared at her searchingly "no Arya."
Arya stared "...no what?"
"I know you wish to find Beric as soon as you leave...you cannot."
Arya bristled "he's-"
"On your list yes." Bran cut her off again "but in the end, he is needed."
"Needed? Maybe if we sell people like cattle, then he's needed." Arya said icily.
Bran stared at the Godswood "you've lost faith haven't you."
At the change of subject, Arya blinked "what?"
"In Old and New...and in their place. There's a new God you worship more then Death." He looked back at her "The List."
Arya remained silent.
"Leave it be Arya, the dead are on their way and we cannot be fighting amongst ourselves."
"...He promised he'd protect us. He lied." Arya defended.
Bran shook his head sadly "is that all that guides you sister? Anger? Hate?"
Arya pointed at him "you had your friends, Sansa had her courtesies, Jon had his sword, you know what kept ME alive since I watched Father...die? My hate. That's what kept me sharp."
For the longest time, the two stared at each other...then Bran said "it needs to be put to an end."
Arya snorted "what my hate?"
"The List."
Silence fell over the Godswood as Arya stared at her brother.
For the longest time, the list and her hatred was all she ever knew. Countless nights repeating the names over in her sleep, about the people she had meant to kill.
From Cersei, to the Mountain, to Thoros, to the Red Woman, to Walder Frey.
Bran continued what he was saying "when the time comes...you must make a choice sister. Whether to save many or to please your God. I can only hope you decide which path to follow."
The Wolf Raven turned to the Godswood once more...as Arya face became one of conflict...and left the courtyard as the snow fell around her.
Life without The List? Could that happen? For even a damaged Wolf like her?
This idea came about after 8x03 The Long Night

After Arya faced not one but TWO names on her List (Beric and Melisandre) yet she helped to give Beric a dignified end and actually talked to Melisandre.
For So long and so many years The List has been the cornerstone of her life and yet she sacrifices it to save the world.
THAT is a good ending for me to the episode. As SO MANY people expected Jon or Dany to kill the NK but the one who actually DOES is the one who would have done or sacrificed ANYTHING as long as the List was shortened.
What do you all think?
