He'll be back probably episode three or four. I think they'll build it up but they've already set the stage in the season premier.

 

It's obvious Sansa is going to Castle Black or The Wall with Brienne, Podrick and Theon to gain Jon's assistance. It's also obvious that Ramsey and Roose Bolton will plan an attack or assault at The Wall knowing that Sansa is more than likely heading in that direction.

 

This instantly sets the stage for a clash between the Night's Watch and Wildlings and the Bolton's. It'll probably come down to the last minute when the battle has probably already broken out and Melisandre will manage to bring him back just in time as Azor Ahai to win the battle and he'll then work towards rallying the clans of the North to prepare for the Night's King army heading towards them.

 

Ghost may play a factor in his resurrection still. May need to die. I don't know. I think this Sunday's episode will revolve around King's Landing. Cersei and Jaime are fixing to take it to the High Sparrow for sure. And I think they finally bring Bran back into the fold and he'll reveal the Night's King's intentions and possibly Jon's parentage and what happened with his father Ned at the Tower of Joy.
