Jon and his wildling friends take cover from a storm in a ruined village and discover an old man. The men hear voices coming from the old tower in the lake. Jon refuses to kill the old man, and when a direwolf attacks the group, Jon flees on the man’s horse. Simon and Mackelly think maybe they heard "Hodor" coming from that tower.

Chapter Review:
Jon Snow, Yigrette, and the wildling raiders ride south through The Gift, to avoid Night’s Watch patrols. The wildlings are amazed by the occasional “castle” that are actually nothing more than watchtowers. Jon and Yigrette debate the pros and cons of stealing women before Jon confides in Yigrette that the wildlings stand no chance at winning this war. The statement makes Yigrette concerned that she’s backed the wrong horse, vouching for him as a fallen crow.

Jon knows he has to beat this group to Castle Black or his brothers will be in serious trouble, as the castle has no defenses on the southern side. However, he worries about what will happen to Yigrette if he escapes.

When a bad storm rolls in, the group takes refuge in an abandoned village next to a lake. The lake has a ruined tower sitting in its middle. The wildling scouts find an old man occupying the village. Jon knows the man will die and leaves the scene. He tells Yigrette the history of the tower in the lake, and Yigrette tells him some men have heard voices coming from it. She thinks it’s ghosts.

Jon is called back to the old man and told to kill him to prove his loyalty to the wildlings. Jon refuses, so Yigrette does the deed. At that moment, a direwolf attacks the group and Jon uses the chaos to jump on the dead man’s horse and escape. Later he finds an arrow in his leg and wonders if it’s Yigrette’s. He cleans the wound and rides for Castle Black.
