Hey there. This has spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 7 episode two. So, scroll carefully.

Tonight's episode ended with a pretty fierce naval battle and another stunning display of Theon Greyjoy's courage.

Nope. That's a lie. Theon's a coward.

Faced with his uncle Euron's quick takeover of the Iron Islands' fleet that sided with Dany's dragon team, Theon watched the deranged 'king' of Pike hold his sister hostage. Euron had Yara in a headlock with a big ol' knife trained on her throat. And what does Theon do, when faced with yet another important moment in his character development?

Oh, yah know, literally jump overboard.

Safe to say, the internet was flabbergasted (and a little delighted) with Theon's going full Reek when faced with adversity.

Poor Reek Theon, hasn't he suffered enough?
