698112, oh, she needed to be raped so that theon's arc could be complete

that's okay then.

who says we even need theon to wake up? unlike sansa, theon put himself in this position by utterly betraying all the people who cared for him. but her rape for his redemption is the narrative we are accepting here? really? nah, gratutious and lazy writing.

sansa had plenty of depth to her character and enough agency by being back in her home among the man who betrayed her family. she's got old lady from the north who remembers, brienne plotting on the outside. she could easily try to pull something off when stannis brings war to winterfell. she doesn't need theon or his redemption.

yes, she accepted some of the terms of the deal by agreeing to littlefinger's plan. then have to the bedroom slowly close while she has a reluctant but ultimately accepting look on her face. the way it went down was unnecessary.
