Game Of Thrones: 25 Key Details You Need To Know & Remember For Season 8

20. Theon Is Off To Save Yara, But Euron's Getting The Golden Company

Game of Thrones Theon
HBO

Theon moved a step closer to completing his redemption arc in the Season 7 finale, The Dragon and the Wolf, when he reconciled the Stark and Greyjoy parts of himself with some help from Jon, and then fought for the right to go and rescue Yara.

Theon and a small band of Iron Islanders are headed home to take down Euron and free Yara, but the small issue with that is the fact Euron has instead sailed for Essos, to bring the Golden Company to Essos at the behest of Cersei Lannister.

What does that mean for Theon? While he's off on the wrong path, it's still all but certain his path will cross with his uncle and sister again, with the most fitting conclusion perhaps being that Yara is saved, but both Theon and Euron die.
