WARNING: This story contains spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 7, Episode 2.

Last week, Game of Thrones fans obsessed over Sansa Stark's hair after realizing she sported a similar hairstyle to Cersei Lannister in the Season 7 premiere. The detail seemed all the more prescient after Sansa told Jon she "learned a lot" from the Lannister Queen - so fans wondered: does that mean she's going to turn into her?

Of course, the similar hairstyles could just be coincidental, but GoT's costume designer Michele Clapton said that Sansa tends to dress like the characters she's emulating or inspired by.

Sunday night's episode appeared to offer another clue, when fans noticed she wore a necklace similar to the one she started wearing at the end of Season 4, when she lies about her own aunt Lysa Arryn's death to cover up for Littlefinger (even though he didn't really ask her to) and she willingly rides with him into the Vale.

In that moment, Sansa shows a darker side of herself - she tries to use Littlefinger to her advantage - and starts sporting a wardrobe that matches it: a black dress adorned with raven feathers, a darker hair color, and that chain pendant necklace. (Even GoT's teens have their angsty goth phases.)

So what does that mean for Season 7?

Sunday night's "Stormborn" showed Sansa Stark finally getting what she wanted when Jon Snow left her in charge of Winterfell while he rides south to meet Daenerys Targaryen. When Jon announces his decision, the first thing Sansa does is exchange a look with Littlefinger, who's been tempting her with this position of power since Season 6.

Is the return of her chain necklace, along with that Littlefinger exchange, a sign that Sansa's going to try to take advantage of him again? Or does it mean they're going to team up in some way again?

Now that Jon has left them alone in Winterfell, we don't know what could happen next. He threatened Littlefinger before he departed, saying that if he touched Sansa, he'd kill him; but we know Petyr Baelish isn't quite one to follow directions.
