Later, Robb, Jon, and Theon get shaves and haircuts, as they ponder the impending arrival of the royal party, notably the reputation of Queen Cersei Lannister as a great beauty and the poor reputation of Prince Joffrey Baratheon. Theon mockingly declares him the runt of the litter and that he belongs to Jon. Just as the party leaves, Jon finds a sixth pup, an albino. Eddard consents to allowing his children to adopt the pups. However, Jon Snow tells his father that this is an omen as there are five pups and five trueborn Stark children. Theon, Jon and Robb talk about Queen Cersei as they prepare for the royal party. Eddard initially insists the pups be given a quick death, which Theon cavalierly moves to carry out himself, upsetting Bran and angering Robb.

Despite abandoning Yara during the assault on the Targaryen fleet, he later appeals to the remaining ironborn on Dragonstone to rescue her from Euron's custody, a mission they complete successfully. In retaliation, Theon flees with Yara to seek out an alliance with Daenerys Targaryen in Meereen, where they pledge their forces to her.
