Hi !! This thread is to bring together all of those whacky times when PJ sends 'em away, and they come back later. You know of what I speak.Case in point: Éomer. Wormtongue banishes Éomer and basically the entire army of Rohan. They go away... north, somewhere. Later, Gandalf tracks them down, they come back and victoriously change the course of the Battle of Helm's Deep. Yay!So, when else during the trilogy does this happen? Who does it happen to and why were they sent away? Is there precedent in the books, and if not was the round trip credible? Why did the daytrippers come back, and was this believable?
