It still hasn’t been mentioned.
Like the inevitability of death and war, spoilers are coming.
At the present moment, we imagine that the Lannister forces are literally picking the bones out of that annihilation by Dany, Drogon and the Dothraki army.
Aside from the fiery carnage that unfolded during that spectacular ‘Loot Train’ scene, there was so much more to that superb episode, The Spoils of War, than just the breathtaking finale.
We saw Jon Snow doing his very best to charm his aunt Daenerys at Dragonstone – still really weird writing that – but if the King in the North returns to Winterfell, he’s going to be in for a hell of a surprise.
As we now know, Bran Stark has returned and since arriving home, he has managed to make Meera Reed and Sansa feel incredibly uncomfortable with his blunt and direct style of conversation. On the plus side, his all-knowing skills as the Three-Eyed Raven have managed to scare the crap out of Littlefinger.
Small wins and whatnot.

As for Arya, her reunion with Sansa in the Winterfell crypt was far more emotional but after seeing her little sister spar with Brienne, we reckon that the Lady of Winterfell is starting to take Arya’s kill list far more seriously.
Since Bran, Sansa and Arya have been reunited, their collective conversations have been about wedding nights, killing Joffrey, their various adventures, remembering Ned Stark, daggers (more about that here), kill lists and Littlefinger.
Ahem, Stark children.
There is the rather massive issue of your dead younger brother that nobody has addressed yet!?!?
For those that need a painful reminder, Rickon Stark (Art Parkinson) was killed by Ramsay Bolton before the Battle of the Bastards began.
Poor Rickon, if only he could zig-zag.
Had a good run #shouldazigzagged

This being said, plenty of people have noticed how Arya, Bran and Sansa have failed to mention their little brother so far during their time together on-screen.

For anyone who watches Game of Thrones: Why doesn't Arya ask about Rickon when she goes home? Seems really weird no one mentioned him.

It's surprising that both Bran and Arya didn't ask about Rickon🙊 Bran is anyway dead inside lol

To be fair, some people have mentioned Rickon after the most recent episode, but it’s all due to a hilarious moment that featured Bronn.

Bronn loling at "Dickon" is the highlight of this whole show

Don’t worry Dickon Rickon Stark, the North remembers and so do we!
