Well, then it would have been smarter to find out before attacking Winterfell, wouldn't it? Or at least tell Jon about the possibility - however remote it may be - in order to convince him to wait a bit longer, before facing the Boltons - which is exactly what Sansa was trying to do early in the episode. It's really weird, that she kept such an important fact from Jon and yet expected him to make sound strategic decisions. Especially, that Littlefinger's army could have been an even bigger threat than the Boltons, if he decided to turn against Sansa and Jon, even if they somehow defeated Ramsey. Seems like useful information to someone, trying to plan a battle.
And by the way - how come nobody noticed the Knights of the Vale stationed at Moat Cailin for who-knows-how-long? I mean - if I'm not mistaken - Theon managed to travel half the world since Littlefinger showed up in the North. And the last we saw Moat Cailin was when Theon convinced the crew of the castle to surrender to Boltons. So the Knights of the Vale were stationed in a Bolton castle, right on the way to Winterfell and Ramsey didn't suspect anything? And neither did Jon hear, or wonder about it, while traveling around the North, trying to gather support?

Lyanna Mormont with the best shade-throwing face of all time. I really like that actress, she's killing it for such a young person.

She's a bitch, yes, but in a way she makes the show interesting, at first I disliked her, but now I don't mind her at all. I also like Jamie too, after he lost his hand and all that shit, I've started to like his character. But Tyrion>all other Lannisters.
Like her or not, her karmic debt is great. I'll bet she is due some pain.

Which sort of makes sense, in a dark, twisted way, if you think about it - maybe she wants to rule the North herself and her legitimate brothers - as well as her husband, Ramsey - would stand in her way. I wonder - what she'll do to Bran, if he ever returns from beyond the Wall?... 
Well, Ramsay told Sansa that he had become a part of her, so I would say that Sansa actively trying to get Rickon killed is actually kind of likely.
After all, Ramsay did the same thing to Domeric, Roose, fat Walda and "Healthy Baby Boy", albeit less... subtly.

I guess it's a "dog-eat-dog" world out there, in the North, eh?

Hmmm... Maybe the show writers meant to suggest, that he got Sansa pregnant with a rape-baby? She does seem to have put on some weight recently, but I thought that was just the fur-coat... 
Of course - it must have been a while, since Sansa escaped Ramsey, so her pregnancy would probably be obvious, furs or no furs. But the show is pretty inconsistent, as well purposefully vague when it comes to the passage of time - just look at Gilly's baby, which was a newborn for - like - 3 seasons and now it seems like 1-1.5 year old, while Tommen and Rikkon seem to have aged 5 years or more...
