At least Ros is being used as a character instead of just stripping down for the obligatory sex scene for the episode. I don't mind her double agent role because I'm expecting Littlefinger to kill her when Sansa escapes King's Landing. She takes the place of Dontos and eliminates introducing more depth into a temporary character. Also, I absolutely loved the scene of Sansa praying in nature! I like the little details that show the Starks haven't completely forgotten each other, the ways of the North, or Ned himself. Jon and Arya sharpening their blades like Ned did in Season 2, Sansa with the doll Ned gave her or praying in nature, Bran remembering his father and brothers teaching him to shoot a bow and arrow. Just warms my heart considering how much further the family will fall still. And the Theon scenes...heartbreaking. Especially that line about his real father losing his head in King's Landing. Great added line by the tv writers.

Loved the Sansa/Shae scene and I don't think Sansa was being bratty or snobby at all. She was making a point. "I shouldn't have to tell you to do things, you should just do them." Perfect words by Sansa to illustrate what she's forced to do and say as a captive in King's Landing. Know your role. And I loved the vulnerability and sorrow Sansa showed in that scene. The tears in her eyes, the sadness looking into the mirror. Wow.
