Game Of Thrones Season 7 Finale: 11 Big Questions After 'The Dragon And The Wolf'

9. What Happens With Theon, Euron, And Yara?

Theon took a big step towards redemption in the finale, finally being able to reconcile the Stark and Greyjoy aspects that have long divided him, while also fighting for both his life and the chance to save Yara's.

Unfortunately for Theon, it seems like a mission doomed to fail. With just six episodes there doesn't even appear to be much time to devote to such a side-quest anyway, and with the game almost over lives need to start ending.

Indeed, we've seen the show wipe out a number of major houses over the last couple of seasons, and Season 8 could well spell the end of the Greyjoys. It's certainly possible to envisage Yara being killed by Euron, and then one of Euron and Theon killing the other (that should be a no-contest, but then Theon can be kicked in the crotch without pain so who knows), but Theon's arc definitely seems like it's coming towards its natural (and fitting) end.
