I vehemently disagree with this. I hated to see it, but it broke Ramsay's grasp over Theon and it has finally hardened Sansa into being able to deal with the harsh realities of the world in the 7 Kingdoms


Finally hardened her?

Watching her dad's head get chopped off, her entire family murdered, little brother's burned and living with Joffrey for that long wasn't enough?

Cmon bro.

As a couple of us have speculated (and it is pure speculation) in the episode thread, the only way I can see that this scene was necessary if they are positioning Sansa as a half crazed Lady Stoneheart type character rather than a straight tough heroic "rally the North" character.

I know its kind of a long shot but that would make sense. Everything she's undergone (and no telling what else she will undergo) could have the effect of unhinging her to that degree.
