Cat and crew arrive back at Riverrun to good news. Brienne has sworn to protect her. Robb’s winning the war. Hoster is hanging on. Jamie is still captive and Ned’s remains have been returned. Not withstanding some odd decisions by her brother Edmure, things are looking rosy. Mackelly and Simon get worried.

Chapter Review:
Catelyn Stark arrives back in the Riverrlands with her entourage, including Brienne of Tarth. Brienne pledges her future to Cat, with the proviso that when the time comes, Cat will release her to get revenge on Stannis for the murder of Renly. They’re met by Martyn Rivers who fills her in on what they’ve missed. Robb winning victories. The West getting some of their own medicine. Twyin leaving Harrenhal to engage.

At Riverrun, she learns that Tyrion’s plan to free Jamie almost worked, and the Lannister’s involved hang from the walls. The place is overrun with smallfolk seeking the security of the castle. Edmure has pulled the forces from the Twins to bolster Roose Bolton’s number - this combined force will take the relatively unguarded Harrenhal. Edmure meanwhile will attack Tywin’s army as it passes close to Riverrun.

Cat visits her dying father, he mistakes her for her sister Lysa  and recalls forcing her to marry Jon Arryn not that “wretched boy." Cat is curious who he means. Ned’s bones have been returned. Cat spends some time with them, but cannot see the man that was once there. She sends them on to Winterfell.
