Smeagol discarded = eliminated?

[Homba]

Declaring the FS in a FP stronghold requires discarding Sme.

We assume this is the same as 'eliminated in any way' - meaning that We Shall Get It will be put in play.

We assume Sme is gone forever after having been 'discarded.'

Both assumptions correct?

Thanks

Yes. However, Gollum may still show up later.
