A few years ago, the idea of Theon and Sansa sharing an emotional scene, one where you really cared and felt for both characters, was crazy. Even at this stage last year it would've been a long shot. And yet here we are, the second episode of Season 6, and the pair are saying goodbye and damn it just works so well.

The pair have been through a lot on this show, so much so it's easy to forget that Sansa was rather unlikable in the early goings, and Theon was completely detestable. The latter isn't forgotten here though, at least not by Theon himself, and him saying goodbye as he leaves for "home" and a chance of redemption ends up being another touching moment for this set of characters this year, and we're only two episodes in.
