Yeah that could have happened any other way, to use something as brutal as being forced to watch his "sister" get raped when the brutalization does nothing for Sansa herself is just wasteful.
Theon isn't some tragic hero, he is a piece of shit, no one is rooting for him. Most people are a little tired of watching him and Sansa being tortured though, it is exhausting and uncomfortable when there are other ways to move that story along.
Hell have Sansa watch Ramsey torture Theon some and have her take some agency with him out of pity. That could be interesting, and make Sansa something else besides a wet blanket and object to be tortured.
This.
I could care less that she was raped or that he was tortured, but devoting seasons to them being cry babies is really really boring tv

Is that Catlyn Stark's face that Arya sees in the house of Black and White?

When does he say that? He said a girl is not ready to become no one yet, but she is ready to become someone else.
I didn't see Cat's face there

I was under the impression it was the old woman she was cleaning earlier in the episode.
She's going to be Cat of the Canals first. AKA, she's ready to assume different identities without switching her actual face.
It should have gone anywhere else, they filmed it so that Sansa's and Theon's suffering was supposedly equal. Which is just so tone deaf to the realities of what they are depicting. It isn't even that it was rape, it was that it was rape shown poorly in service of nothing.
They fucked up the same thing with Cersei and Jaime last year, they expected something from the audience that the writers hadn't earned or properly framed yet.
They fucked up the same thing with Dany and Drogo in the first season, changing what was more consensual in the books to pretty damn rapey in service of nothing. They just got less shit because the show wasn't that popular yet.
You would have to think they would have learned by now. Everyone understands the world of Ice and Fire is brutal and shitty but to keep reminding the audience of this fact with scenes that serve little narrative purpose is just tiresome.
Why did she need to be raped in order to want to plan rebellion? Didn't LF tell her a few eps back about how now she is close to the boltons, so now you can attack? Why did her being raped somehow spur this? Should have been doing it from day 1 you dolt
Yep. Becoming no one apparently means leaving your past behind you, losing all your memories and stuff. If all you want to do is kill, you need your memory and personality for that. Arya is probably beginning to rethink, based on what is now the cost.

Was there a chance that Ramsey wasn't going to rape her and have Reek Watch?
Just shows how bad the Boltons are, and like wth? was Littlefinger trying to accomplish besides screwing up Sansa and turning her into Alys Finch from Gloriana.
He has to have a lock that the Boltons are all going to die, except maybe Roose's Twins bride.

Not Sansa - Theon.
And Sansa has no choice to temp ally herself with Theon. She hates him, but needs his help to get out of there. Enter Brienne, Enter 'candle in window' people, and sansa is playing the game.
Would have preferred her getting eaten out tho, thats some solid programming
