1. Arya staring down Jaime Lannister as if she wanted his Golden rod. Some people have pointed this out but some people haven't really been able to muster much of an explanation about it, except that she was eye-balling a future victim. But I say there is a deeper meaning and explanation behind that eye f'ing.
NOW- Her list includes his sister, not him. As a matter of fact, the keen eyed noticed that she is well versed on the 'KingSlayer', as she pointed him out when the Kings Party first arrived in Winterfell in Season 1. That is not why I think she eyed him down. The reason I personally think she did is this...
Flash backward to the confrontation betwen Brienne/Podrick and Hound/Arya. Hound pointed out the sword which signified the Lannisters by it's gold and the Lion Crest at the end of it. Brienne then explained that she got the sword from Jaime Lannister. She said this after explaining that she swore a blood oath to Catelyn Stark that she would find Sansa and Arya and return them to Winterfell. Which she did for at least one of them.
So, it stands to reason that Arya, understood that Jaime, did something to help the Starks, by allowing Brienne to leave to go fulfill that mission. By allowing Brienne to go about looking for the Starks as she had promised to Catelyn, Jaime had in fact helped an ally of the Starks in Brienne. Now also keep in mind, that it stands to reason that Arya knows all about what is going on at Winterfell(By now) and also knows that Sansa is there because of Brienne (Friend of Jaime), and that Jon is now also there. Plus, she witnessed first hand how Jaime insulted and put down Walder.
Ergo, Jaime helping Brienne, helped Aryas family. Hence why she smiled at him.
2. Cersei will have an ally despite her situation looking dire. In the guise of Euron Greyjon, who by now is probably aware that Dany is heading his way with her forces(and some of his) and it's unlikely he will win her courtship.
At the same time, Cersei isn't doing what she did recently in letting her city burn and her child die just because she felt like it. Here is the awful yet kind of awesome truth to why she did what she did.....SHE
.....has finally found faith in something. It's terrible, it's ugly, but it's possibly true. Cersei has found something to believe in and is diving head first into her own prophecy, because she now has faith in something bigger than herself. She realizes that now matter what she wanted for herself, fate and destiny found it's way. She's not doing this anymore because she is spiteful, she is doing this because she is playing her part, while also accepting that she is just a part and not the whole damn show. Think about that for awhile, and comment back.
3. The Wall, Coldhands/Benjen hinted that there is great power within the wall and that the Wall itself cannot keep the dead from crossing simply because of it's construction and size. It's something else within it, that stops that from happening. So.....we are going to learn eventually that a power that controls the wall is the key to opening the wall for the Nights King. What that is exactly isn't known, but it is interesting.
