Jon and Qhorin cannot escape the pursuing wildlings. The Halfhand orders Jon to yield to the wildlings, to infiltrate, and to never forget his vows. Jon proves his loyalty by killing Qhorin, with considerable help from Ghost. Simon and Mackelly mourn his passing.
Chapter Review:
Qhorin Halfhand has sent Ebben on ahead with the fastest horse, and Stonesnake by foot separately, with news for Lord Commander Mormont of what Jon saw and how he saw it. The “old powers are awaking." Ebben suggests Jon Snow should go, as the youngest, but the Halfhand has a different plan for Snow. The situation seems hopeless. Qhorin orders a fire.
Jon prepares for death, but Qhorin has a plan. He wants Jon to yield to the wildlings, spy on them, do whatever necessary to convince them of his turned-cloak, but to never forget his vow. They backtrack to a secret tunnel behind a waterfall. The fire was to throw off pursuers. They spend the night and then take the tunnel through the mountain. The ruse hasn’t worked.
The chieftain Rattleshirt awaits them. Jon yields as instructed, and gets support from Ygritte who is a member of the party. Rattleshirt is skeptical. Qhorin feigns fury. Jon proves himself by killing Qhorin, with a bit of help from Ghost. Begrudgingly he’s welcomed into the wildling fold.
