10. What Does Theon Do Now?

Theon's appearance is brief this week, but it's one that suggests an almost impossible situation he's now in. He's hauled from the water by some of Yara's men, who allow him to stay on the boat, but show no other act of kindness towards him.

So what does Theon do now? Does he go back to live out his days in misery on Pyke, the hatred of his peers only outstripped by his probable self-loathing?

Can he be of any further use to Daenerys now, even though he deserted his sister and there's not much of a fleet to speak of? Will he have some worth to Jon, even though the King in the North will hate him for what he did to their home (but he did help Sansa escape)?

Or could he even muster up the courage to make an attempted rescue of Yara, even if it might be tantamount to a suicide mission? He can't be too brave too soon, as it undersells what happened in the last episode, but it also still feels like there'll be some redemption for him, even if that likely means his death.
