I've also found it somewhat jarring how many stupid moves Littlefinger has made since the end of last season. He has been established as intelligent enough over the course of the show to know how Sansa and Jon would react to the way he approached them.

Unless his plan is to irritate Sansa into submission and make Jon want to kill him? I could see him gaining pity or a value/purpose to Sansa in Jon's absence with some charade, then make Jon lose it upon his return (fulfilling his threat), to have Sansa come to his aid in an attempt to increase the rift between them? (ala Palpatine with Anakin/the Jedi)

Been used to seeing Baelish as a true player in the game but I don't feel like he's much of a threat so long as Sansa doesn't encounter brain damage. I suppose he will linger in the shadows patiently for his moment to do (or more likely-say) something.

But then I fully expect Arya to outright execute him upon her arrival, so he doesn't have that much time to gain some kind of favour or leverage with the Starks/Sansa.
