Was Littlefinger not talking to the moon boy about supporting the North, specifically Winterfell in an earlier episode?
He spoke with Robin Arryn about gathering the knights of the vale to support Sansa.
Really surprising to see the brotherhood acting like that, if it's the brotherhood without banners. That was more in line with the kingswood brotherhood.
It was obvious it was to Littlefinger
Another theory is that the girl stabbed wasn't Arya, but Jaqen who was trying to determine whether the Waif would make Arya suffer or not. It would explain her acting strange as she didn't seem herself leading up to that point.
Or, if Sansa has learnt anything, she sent the letter directly to Robert. She knows Baelish can't be trusted. Her and Robert got along well when they met at The Eyrie.
So... It is not that much of a surprise that she is asking him for help, desperation leads people to make these decisions.

You don't remember the meeting Sansa had with Littlefinger in Mole's Town ? She dismissed his help after She berated him over Ramsay.
So Bran can now do a whole load of stuff that even he is still getting to grips with. In an earlier episode, we saw he almost managed to speak to a younger Ned Stark before being taken away by the old three eyed raven. Well, lets assume that with time, he comes to learn that he can indeed talk to people in the past..
He would surely try to fix everything the Lannister's started and try to save his family by going back to where it all began..
So what if he does just that.. he goes back in time to tell the most powerful man in all the kingdoms of everything which is going to happen in hopes he will stop it.
This man believes him and confides in his closest advisors and friends for help. They cant believe what he's saying, and brand him Mad.
Yadder yadder yadder.. enter, The Mad King.
This was just a thought prior to two episodes ago, when Bran had a vision clearly showing us the Mad King for the first time and the KingSlayer stabbing him in the back.
That vision makes me believe this will happen very very much so.
Response to a fan theory
A few people have come up with the theory following the episode in which young Ned turns around following Bran shouting. This seems to be further evidenced by the three eyed raven grabbing Bran and bringing him back to the present. Though I have also seen a slight alternative theory that it was the three eyed raven that made the Mad King mad. In which case his reaction to Bran calling out wasn't shock that young Ned turned around but panic of knowing what can happen if you try to change the past.
Personally though I am not a fan of this theory, not because it doesn't seem plausible but because time travel almost always leads to some horrible paradoxes and twists to explain how everything actually goes together. I would much rather see it as a cheeky thing the writers put in to try and troll fans and that Bran can only ever see the past.
yeah it's different for him in the books. he doesn't go down fighting and never meets brienne whom he would beat in a fight. also makes him showing back up again and fighting with the mountain more realistic. after all you do see him go toe to toe with his brother in season 1/the first book and is massive himself. maybe zombie mountain is a little on the slow side now?I'm glad the Hound is back, but it was pretty obvious he would be, just like it was with Jon Snow and now Arya. Like anything big and powerful in GOT he got made to look weak being beaten by a woman (who was almost taken out by some random soldier a couple of eps ago). Not sure how he would believably beat the Mountain 2.0.
Just read a an interesting theory that the Waif and Arya could in fact be the same person, i.e. Arya is battling with her inner self, trying to let go of Arya Stark and becoming a faceless man and we're likely to find out the result of this next episode.
