Chett’s plan to murder the Night’s Watch leadership is defeated by the arrival of the White Walkers. Simon and Mackelly check the temperature.

Chapter Review:
Chett is trying to convince his canine charges to follow some bear prints. The Night’s Watch badly need some food. The dogs are not interested. Chett and his companions discuss the plan to murder Lord Commander Jeor Mormont and anyone who could track them. Chett’s plan is well thought through, but he’s worried about the reliability of the men he’s conspiring with.

They give up the hunt and return to the Fist of the First Men, where Grenn and Edd are giving Samwell Tarly archery lessons. Chett sticks around to heckle Sam, who he blames for his woes. Sam took the job that Chett used to hold, a time he thinks of as the best of his life. Sam is on the list of who dies tonight, partially to prevent ravens being sent to the Wall with word of their treachery, but mostly out of spite.

Chett’s plans crumble when snow falls. Even the least competent tracker can follow 14 traitors through fresh snow. Chett’s distraught, but decides to vent that fury on Sam. He finds him sleeping by the ravens. He pulls a knife but just before he can act, three horn blasts sound - The White Walkers are coming.
