Send us a textReek/Theon helps secure Moat Cailin for the Boltons. His ironborn brothers pay the ultimate price. Ramsay meets his new bride-to-be, but Theon sees through the Bolton ruse. Today Simon and Mackelly discuss difficult topics such as torture and self-harm. Please seek help for yourself or reach out to a friend who might be struggling with thoughts of self-harm.Chapter Review:Reek has been cleaned up and is pretending to be a prince of the Iron Islands. He is granted admission to Moat Cailin where he discovers his countrymen in a sorry state. They’re sick, tired, and losing hope. They recognize Theon for what he was (Balon Greyjoy’s son) and what he is (Ramsay’s dog). He offers them terms: stay and die or be fed, treated, and freed to return to the Stony Shore.He has intel that Victarion is not coming back and that they’ve been abandoned and forgotten. This last silences dissent and the men agree. Only 63 men leave the towers to the incredulity of Ramsay’s forces who felt they’d been fighting far more. Theon has a flash of pride for the ironborn.Ramsay is pleased with Theon and rewards him with meat, wine, and an upgrade in his quarters. Three days later Roose Bolton arrives with his new wife Walda Frey and Ramsay’s fiancée Arya Stark. Reek recognizes Jeyne Poole by the eyes and the meek compliance.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Reek - Broken shell of Theon Greyjoy.Ramsay Bolton - Newly legitimized son of Roose Bolton.
