Game of Thrones threw fans for a loop when Sansa revealed that she was putting Littlefinger on trial, seemingly out of nowhere. After all, we were led to believe that Baelish had turned Sansa and Arya against one another, and that his plot would result in one of them killing the other.

With the help of Bran, Arya and Sansa were able to uncover all of Littlefinger’s lies. The problem with this is that it kind of came out of nowhere. One minute Arya was threatening Sansa with a dead man’s face, the next minute they’re working together. There was a lot left up to the imagination here.

Well, according to Isaac Hampstead-Wright — who portrays Bran on the series — there was a scene between his character and Sansa that helped make sense of the entire plan.

While speaking with Variety, the actor revealed that they had filmed a scene where Sansa approached Bran for help with her plan.

“We actually did a scene that clearly got cut, a short scene with Sansa where she knocks on Bran’s door and says, ‘I need your help,’ or something along those lines. So basically, as far as I know, the story was that it suddenly occurred to Sansa that she had a huge CCTV department at her discretion and it might be a good idea to check with him first before she guts her own sister. So she goes to Bran, and Bran tells her everything she needs to know, and she’s like, ‘Oh, sh*t,’ ” Hampstead-Wright said.

Yeah, this scene definitely would have been nice to have.
