escape, if he doesn't torture and rape her it wouldn't have pushed Theon over the edge to help her, and his fine ass sadistic bitch would still be alive.

He would be in a much better position if Sansa were still his wife, no one would take arms against them in the North if he had kept up appearances. He still could have killed his dad, no one liked him, might have even been seen as a positive to all the people in the North. He could have played the game perfectly but he's too sadistic. Now it's all going to come crashing down, he ain't ready for the wildlings, the vale, bear island, white harbor, and everyone else.

He could have done a little PR campaign, like changing his sigil to the flayed man but rightside up, ushering in a new era of mercy lol.
