Arya made no sense this episode

Sansa should behead people because they said they wanted Jon to come back home, and apparently this is them talking... bad... about Jon? by saying they want him around???? and Sansa is somehow doing something wrong by not seizing power and just waiting patiently for Jon to return??????

Arya is super-defensive of Jon. She's not acting logically (as articulating this is a self-fulfilling prophecy), but she's also not wrong that Sansa secretly hopes she can stay Lady of Winterfell. I actually enjoyed this.

also Littlefinger is apparently being suspicious because he was..... talking to people?????????????

like I know I've hammered on the whole "Littlefinger is somehow evil because he's attracted to Sansa, even though everyone is attracted to Sansa" but this really brought it to a whole new level. Littlefinger is suspicious because he has conversations with people. even though everyone has conversations with each other all the time all day long every day.

Everyone is suspicious of Littlefinger. Arya just decided to follow him. He obviously is developing a spy network (the discreet payment is a clear indicator of under-the-table dealings), and he seems to be going around Sansa's back with his request to Maester Wolkan.

But honestly, we're talking about an Arya whose life has been determined by paranoia and violence. How did she solve the waif? How did she solve the Freys? Bloody murder. What was her biggest regret about Harrenhal? Not ordering the hit on Tywin Lannister. She does not really understand politics. I think this type of division between Arya and Sansa makes perfect sense.

And in the end, Littlefinger is plotting against the Starks. Hell, it's possible that Arya suspects Littlefinger and Sansa are conspiring together against Jon. Arya's smart to be suspicious of this new ally from the South (!!), she just didn't think that extra step ahead and got horribly played by LF.
