Sansa rendezvous with a would-be rescuer. Her Florian is not quite who she’d imagined but he'll have to do. On the way back, she bumps into Sandor Clegane drunk as a lord (the Hound, not Sansa). He tells her that a dog can always smell a lie, and she’s the worst liar in King’s Landing. Mackelly and Simon consider the canine polygraph test.

Chapter Review:
Sansa Stark has received a note telling her to come to the Godswood if she wants to go home. She’s uncertain, but she really wants to go home. A maid almost spots the note, which Sansa then burns. She bides her time and sneaks out when the coast is clear.

She imagines it will be some handsome knight determined to free her and right the wrongs. It turns out to be drunken Ser Dontos Hollard. She’s not impressed. But he gives an impassioned speech about how she reminded him of what a true knight should be, and that he’s determined to repay her by getting her home. He compares himself to Florian, the legendary knight who wooed Jonquil. Sansa is swept away and agrees to Dontos’ as yet unfinished plans.

On the walk back, she bumps into a drunken Hound. He escorts her back across the drawbridge into Maegor’s holdfast. He says that he’ll have a song from her eventually, and she agrees to sing for him one day. He calls her a liar and tells her that everyone in King’s Landing is a liar and she is the worst of them.
