Sansa discovers that Littlefinger’s “you’re sailing home” comment is not exactly what she was expecting. She finds herself in a run-down tower on a rocky coast. She gets a new name, attends a wedding, narrowly avoids sexual assault, and has a reunion with a family member. Mackelly and Simon hold their breath, hoping for no deaths at this wedding.

Chapter Review:
Sansa Stark and Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish arrive at Petyr’s ancestral home in the Fingers. It’s a dismal place but the staff is friendly and happy to see their lord. Petyr informs Sansa that she must take a new name, as it’s not safe to be a Stark at the moment. He names her Alayne, after his mother. She will play his natural-born daughter. He also tells her that he will wed Sansa’s aunt Lysa Arryn, who is on her way to meet them at the tower. Finally, Petyr divulges to Sansa that he was working with Olenna Tyrell to murder King Joffrey. It was Olenna who put the poison in the chalice.

When Lysa arrives, Sansa is introduced as Alayne to her aunt. The couple is wed at once. After the festivities, the singer Marillion, who arrived with Lysa, attempts to have his way sexually with Sansa. His effort is thwarted by Ser Lothor Brune. The next morning Sansa is brought to her aunt, who now knows her true identity. Lysa says she’d never turn away Cat’s daughter. They commiserate over forced marriages, then Lysa says that Sansa will marry her young cousin Robert.
