Do you think Theon will survive his apparent impending execution in TWOW? I’d like to think that his story isn’t over yet. There’s a reason Qarl brought up the story of Torgon the Latecomer and the invalidation of a kingsmoot. Could you envision a scenario where Theon is sent back to Pyke where Aeron (convinced his nephew is living proof of the what-is-dead-can-never-die creed) helps organize a popular revolt against Euron and his followers? The issue here is why Stannis would let it happen.

My theory is that Bran makes the quid-pro-quo for telling Stannis where the secret passages through Winterfell’s walls sparing Theon’s life. 

And yes, I think we’ll get a Torgon the Latecomer scenario, but I think it’s going to be less of a popular revolt and more of a coup in Euron’s absence.
