Sam and Gilly are lost, exhausted, and hungry. They find an abandoned wildling village for shelter but receive unexpected house guests. Sam wrangles the wight of an old friend. When all hope seems lost, a new friend emerges. Simon and Mackelly sing a song for the Stranger. (Really, we do.)

Chapter Review:
Samwell Tarly, Gilly, and Gilly’s baby come across a wildling village, on their trek back to Castle Black. Sam hopes it’s Whitetree, a village the Great Ranging stopped at on their way north. They hunker down in a hall for the night. Sam wonders what he’s going to do with Gilly when they reach Castle Black. However, he decides to put it out of his mind until the time comes.

While eating, he shares stories of his life at Horn Hill and even serenades Gilly with a children’s song. That night he dreams of hosting a great feast as the lord of Horn Hill. He wakes to a frigid cold temperature. The wight of Small Paul shambles into the hall. Sam fights Paul, while Gilly and the baby escape. Sam eventually destroys the wight and hurries out to give Gilly the good news. Instead, he faces with a horde of wights surrounding Gilly and the baby.

When it looks like there’s no way to save Gilly and baby, a large unkindness of ravens descends upon the wights. With the wights distracted by the ravens, Sam runs to Gilly. He’s unsure what to do next when he hears a voice call, “brother.” A man wearing Night Watch blacks and riding a huge elk calls for them. When he helps the trio onto the elk, Sam realizes the man’s hands are as cold, black, and hard as a wight’s.
