At Harrenhal, Arya receives a promise from Jaqen H’ghar, one of the prisoners she saved from the Gold Cloaks.

I think Arya saved Jaqen from the fire that enveloped the prison wagon after Ser Amory Lorch & Co attacked Yoren's caravan heading for the Wall.

I think this is episode where Tywin figures out Ayra is from the North, though not her true identity. Tywins asks Ara what the North says about Robb Stark. Arya rattles off a couple of things and then

Arya: They say he can't be killed

Tywin: Do you believe that

Arya (not fliching and staring right back at Tywin): No...anyone can be killed

Stone cold Arya, stone cold.
