Game Of Thrones Season 7 Implications: What "The Queen's Justice" Really Means

13. Theon Will Lose His Men

Poor Theon Greyjoy can't catch a break. Last episode he had to watch his sister be taken prisoner by his awful (and brilliant) uncle Euron and was flooded with PTSD flash-backs of Ramsay's treatment of him, and now he's got to answer for his "crimes against bravery".

There is no greater dishonour for a Greyjoy than running away from a battle - particularly when it means compromising the House's good name - and now that he's been fished out of the drink by his own men, he's out of the frying pan and into the fire. They won't follow a leader who is so obviously dickless - both metaphorically and actually - and he's probably a very small step away from being strung up as part of a mutiny by what remains of his loyalist followers.

Whether we will actually get to see Theon rescue Yara remains to be seen, because it looks like he's going to be isolated once more, and his PTSD will stop any sort of "pulling himself together" to mount a one-man vengeance campaign on Euron. Right now, it feels like he's just waiting for someone to put him out of his misery.
