I don't think they find Brienne. That would actually give her storyline a purpose, and remove Sansa from drama. I doubt it's that easy.

Baelish was moving north. Maybe he goes up, crushes the Boltons, finds Sansa, and the Northern Conspiracy tries to depose Peter in favor of her as Wardeness of the North? Then again, she knows that Bran and Rickon are alive, so who knows....

Ultimately, I think in both the books and the show, she will outmaneuver Baelish, causing his demise. Whenever this happens, she will be in a position to become a major Lord/Lady whatever the fuck you call it. I imagine in the books, however, this will take place either in the Vale or the Riverlands, as her character probably won't be going north any time soon.

Brienne is not one of my favorite characters, so my tendency is to wish for some giddyap in her storyline. I think she exists to flesh out other characters, so its been a dreary season for her. And, i can't know what she's going to do with Stannis - fair chance she spared him IMO.

I agree with you, If Baelish is going down, Sansa will be integral player. I tend to think her education from Baelish is not complete, so that could be a convenient escape route.

More to the point of my earlier comment, though, Sansa's next step has to happen really fast IF she is to escape. She and Theon are not prepared for an escape; on foot, in winter, with only the clothes on their backs, and when Ramsay discovers her missing he's is going to loose the hounds.
