And the rest of the show is people just standing around talking. Awesome. **** you whoever made this episode.

Unless I'm missing something, the clever thing that Arya did was to force the Waif to fight her in complete darkness. Arya had an advantage there, because she had spent quite a bit of time operating while blind recently. She evened the playing field, since in every other encounter the Waif had smoked her.
Which is clever, but begs the quetsion -- how do you SHOW on television a fight in complete darkness?

This I definitely do agree with.
And what exactly is the point of going and joining a cool "I can change faces" cult of assassins because you really want to be an ultra-badass assassin, and then quitting before you LEARN HOW TO CHANGE FACES?
