"Game of Thrones" has truly reached an interesting point now, because of the impending meeting of Jon Snow and Ramsay Bolton. In episode 9, House Stark will be trying to reclaim their stronghold, Winterfell, from the psychopathic ruler of the North.

In this episode, the viewers might see return of the prodigal daughter as Arya Stark has started her journey back. Although viewers might not see her reaching home by the end of the episode, she might have some amazing adventures on her way back.

Meanwhile, siege of Meereen looks devastating, but even Daenerys' Drogon is not short of fireballs, and thus viewers will be able to see the dragons colliding in the battlefield.

In the last episode, Cersei was all set to be punished for her crimes, and she vowed to fight her way out of it. This episode might see the startling display of the strength, which convinced the high Sparrow to change the rules of the game according to Radio Times.

In addition, with the loss of Tully army and the Blackfish, the Stark's force seems to be based on Wildings predominantly. They might brave fighters, but lack in the experience and armor section.

Moreover, The BitBag speculated that in the upcoming battle, the Umbers will betray Ramsay. Notably, the Umbers are the ones who brought Ramsay a "gift" named Rickon in the earlier episodes. They might have betrayed Starks in the process, but  it is possible that they are still loyal to the great house and this is all but a trick on their part.

The Starks, although are fighting for a good cause, might not be able to stop the Winter from seeping in and the real war, i.e. the one between the living and the dead will start soon.
