Season 6
Jaqen H'ghar tasks Arya Stark with assassinating Lady Crane for a client. To prepare, Arya watches the play, where Crane is playing Cersei. When she goes backstage, she discovers that Crane is pregnant with the child of Bobono, a dwarf actor portraying Tyrion Lannister. When she overhears that Crane is the only member of the troup to drink rum, Arya plans on poisoning it. Jaqen refuses to tell Arya who has payed for Crane's death, but she suspects Bianca, a younger and less talented actress portraying Sansa Stark. Despite her misgivings over Crane being a decent person, and pregnant, she promises to go through with the assassination.
