Theon returns home to Pike after 10 years a captive. His welcome is not all he had dreamed it would be. His father, Balon, doesn\\u2019t want to pay the gold price for his crown, he\\u2019d rather pay the iron price. Mackelly and Simon weigh the options and worry for Winterfell.

Chapter Review:
Theon Greyjoy arrives back in Pyke after 10 years away. His heart swells when he sees the kraken sigil flying above the ramparts. He has one last visit with the captain\\u2019s daughter, telling her of the old ways of the Iron Islands and how she might be his salt wife - basically a sex slave - she\\u2019s not entirely opposed. But Theon is more concerned with returning his family to past glories.

When the ship docks, he\\u2019s a bit puzzled by the lack of fanfare. A priest of the Drowned God offers a ride up to Pike. The priest is Theon\\u2019s uncle Aeron, youngest brother of Lord Balon. Aeron was a fun-loving youth, but is now devout and joyless. He and Theon do not get on very well.\\xa0

When Theon finally gets an audience with his father, he\\u2019s treated as an outsider, an emissary of a hostile foreign force, and certainly not as the prodigal son returned. Theon lays out the strategy, the Ironmen\\u2019s fleet to attack the Westerlands and in return Balon will be given independence and his crown back. But Balon sees other uses for his fleet that don\\u2019t involve gifts from the hated Starks.\\xa0
