Sansa applied Littlefingers advice to Littlefinger and went through each persons worst motivations. Then realized she has someone who can see the past and just asked him what happened.
Then sweet revenge.
My personal issue with this Arc is it revictimizes Sansa at the the hands of a man though she finally does beat him on her own. If you look at the season from the perspective of Sanssa the manipulated victim rather than Sansa, lady of winterfel I think everything works.
I really wish they spent less on CGI and more on shows. An episode like this one is what makes the show ticked. All of the problems this season could have been fixed with more dialog and greater screen time between battles to make the troop movements less jarring.
Cersai's line about listening to their father and calling Jaimie an idiot was fantastic.

The only problem with this season was too much whinging. Less lips moving, less complaining about something would have been fantastic.
Less whinging.
