It was Jaqen wearing Arya's face.

1. Walked like Jaqen, wore hair parted down the middle, threw the coin with the right hand (Arya is left handed)

2. Was too obvious. Arya would have never asked for a cabin. The money was thrown around too casually, even if she was capable of stealing such a sum.

3. Lingering shot of statue on the bridge, maybe sorry to leave. Arya hasn’t been there that long, doesn’t have a particular fondness for the place. Could have stowed away as a cabin boy too easily

4. Jaqen’s life belongs to her. He promised her 3 lives to take for the Red God. He took 2, then she named him as her 3rd. Instead of dying he bargained and agreed to help her escape but then when he left he gave her the coin and told her to come to Braavos. And he gave her the words Valar Morghulis, all men must die. Knowing what we know about their relationship with death there would have been no bargain really. He believes in death

His life is owed to the Red God. No bargain can change his fate and he knows it. He willingly dies in Arya’s place, wearing her face, to fulfill the contract on his own life. He also was testing the Waif who did not fulfill the contract correctly by doing a belly wound instead of killing quickly. Waif is going to go out before he is gone officially. Scenes from next week show Waif running/ chasing possible real Arya.

That's kinda fun.

It makes a lot of sense. Of the three possible theories I've seen, I like that one the best. We'll see what happens.

Me too. The biggest for me is that it give a larger point to the whole Faceless Man storyline. My biggest gripe after the episode two weeks ago was that if this really was the end of the journey for that story, it was completely pointless and a waste of time. This would remedy that.

I hope it turns out this way or the whole thing will feel like a Doug Stamper season 3 of House of Cards story arc.

Depends on if you like zero resolution/payoff of a season long storyline or not.

"Game of Thrones" showrunners Dan Weiss and David Benioff caused a stir earlier this year when they suggested that the next (and final?) two seasons of "Game of Thrones" would be shorter than seasons past, encompassing just 13 episodes between them. Now, one of the show's directors has confirmed that an abbreviated season seven is indeed in order.

Jack Bender, who helmed two recent season six episodes, "The Door" and "Blood of My Blood," spoke with Vanity Fair about his work on "Thrones." When asked directly whether or not he'd return for the recently-ordered season seven, Bender told VF, "I don't know how to answer that."

He continued:
They're only doing seven [episodes], and they've got their regulars who have done it forever. I know that I had a wonderful experience doing the show and I know that Dan and David are thrilled with the shows. ... I haven't been asked yet and I also don't know what their schedule is going to be. But under the best of circumstances, schedule and everything, I had a great experience doing the show. If available and they wanted me to, I would love to do that."

Bender also noted that his availability for season seven is up in the air because he's working on launching a TV series based on Stephen King's "Mr. Mercedes" book trilogy. But we can't imagine he'd say no to "Thrones" if given the opportunity to return to Westeros.

Still, the takeaway for fans is that "GOT" really is coming to an end, and it looks like it will be approaching a lot sooner than viewers would like. At least we can take solace in the fact that the show has been on fire lately -- literally -- and will likely continue its excellent recent run of episodes through to the series's finish.
