Davos survived. He’s been clinging to a rock in Blackwater Bay for two weeks. A ship rescues him. Simon and Mackelly consider the wreckage.

Chapter Review:
Davos Seaworth, the Onion Knight, is marooned on a rock in the Blackwater Bay. He’s eked out an existence for a couple of weeks, but his fresh water is gone, and he’s delerious. He recalls the battle and the almost certain death of four of his sons, and wonders if he should just let the sea take him.

A ship appears heading in his direction. He’s not sure if he wants saving, but he prays to the mother and she appears to remind him that he took part in the burning of her effigy on Dragonstone. Davos is pretty sorry for all that he has done. But his ruminations give him a new determination to survive. He waves his hands and the ship sends a boat to rescue him.
Davos recognizes the markings as Lyseni, so he expects that they fought for Stannis, but it is a heart-in-mouth moment admitting his loyalty. The sailors assure him that they are Stannis’ men too. Davos is saved.

Tyrion gets a visit from newly-knighted Ser Bronn. Bronn lacks bedside manner and takes Tyrion step-by-step through how Tyrion has lost everything he’s built while in King’s Landing. Tyrion then has an equally unpleasant conversation with his father, where Tywin holds nothing back about why Tyrion will never be lord of Casterly Rock. Simon and Mackelly find something interesting to stare at on the floor.

Chapter Review:
Tyrion Lannister is recovering from his wounds suffered at the hand of Ser Mandon Moore of the Royal Kingsguard, during the Battle of the Blackwater. His top sellsword aide Bronn pays him a visit. He’s now Ser Bronn of the Blackwater, having been knighted by command of Tywin Lannister. The move irks Tyrion, but the bad news is only beginning. He also learns he’s officially been replaced as Hand of the King by his father, his trusted Commander of the City Watch Jacelyn Bywater is dead, his mountain clans won’t be returning to the city, Alayaya was released but not before being whipped, and he’s lost his control over Tommen in Rosby.

Tyrion decides it’s time to get out of bed and pay a visit to his father. He finds him in Tyrion’s old chambers in the Tower of the Hand, now occupied by his father. Tywin is busy writing important letters but puts them aside to talk with his youngest son. He tells Tyrion that he's sent men to trap and eliminate a Stark force headed for Duskendale.

The men disagree over Tyrion's level of involvement in saving the city. Tywin puts much of it on himself, the Tyrells, and Cersei. Although, he does give Tyrion some credit, and asks what he wants as his reward. Tyrion cuts to the chase. He wants his father to publicly name him heir to Casterly Rock. Tywin's not having it. He's tired of the prostitutes Tyrion continually associates with and he won't have him bringing them into Casterly Rock. In fact, the next one he finds in Tyrion's bed, he'll hang. 

Characters/Places/Names/Events:
Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister. Brother to queen Cersei and Jamie Lannister. Former Hand of the King.
Ser Mandon Moore - Expressionless member of the Kingsguard. Killed in the Battle of the Blackwater, after attacking Tyrion.
Podrick Payne - Shy squire to Tyrio

Arya, Hot Pie, and Gendry make their way north from Harrenhal, in hopes of reaching the safety of Riverrun. The trip won’t be an easy one, as they avoid the roads in favor of the cover the rugged terrain provides. Arya’s worried about being hunted by Roose Bolton’s men, but gets some help from an old friend. Simon and Mackelly saddle up for the ride.

Chapter Review:
Arya Stark and her friends Hot Pie and Gendry successfully escaped Harrenhal. However, they now find themselves traveling through dense woods and high hills, and across rivers, with nothing more than a vague map and Arya’s comprehension of geographical orientation to keep them going in the right direction.

Arya’s plan is to go north to the Red Fork of the Trident, then follow the river west to Riverrun. She’s sure Lord Roose Bolton will send a hunting party after her, as she stole and murdered a guard, to make their escape. Along their travels, they hear wolves howl and have a run-in with a trio of them. But they’ve seen no sign of any men tracking her and the boys.

When they can go no further without falling asleep in their saddles, they make camp for the night. Arya dreams she’s a huge wolf. Her pack attacks four members of the Brave Companions. The pack kills three, and she kills the fourth herself.

Characters/Places/Names/Events:
Arya Stark - Younger daughter of Ned and Catelyn Stark.
Gendry - Friend of Arya. Former armorer’s apprentice. Bastard son of King Robert Baratheon. Worked in the Harrenhal smiths.
Hot Pie - Friend of Arya. Worked in the Harrenhal kitchens.
Roose Bolton - Lord of the Dreadfort. Heading up the eastern contingent of Robb Stark’s army. Currently the lord of Harrenhal.
Vargo Hoat - Leader of the Brave Companions, aka the Bloody Mummers. Flamboyant, lisping swellsword.
Jaqen H’ghar - Mysterious Lorathi assassin whom Arya saved from death during the battle between the Night’s Watch recruits and Armory Lorch’s men.
Nymeria - Arya's direwolf that she was forced to abandon in the Riverlands, while traveling to King's Landing, in order to save her from execution for attacking Prince Joffrey.

Catelyn Stark is confined to her father’s chambers for freeing Jamie Lannister, there she stumbles upon a family secret. Simon and Mackelly muse upon the butterfly effect.

Chapter Review:
Desmond Grell and Utherydes Wayn have the tricky task of punishing their Lord’s daughter for her treasonous act of freeing Jamie Lannister. She both makes it harder for them (by being entirely unrepentant and refusing to play along with their extenuating circumstance olive branches) and easier for them (by readily agreeing to confinement in her father’s chambers).

Her dying father calls out about “Tansy”, “blood”, “forgiveness”, “You’ll have more sons, and trueborn”. Cat has never heard of Tansy and asking around doesn’t help, as the servants and attendants are on orders not to engage with her beyond what is strictly necessary. After some speculation Cat decides that Hoster is referring to Lysa - and the baby she lost when she was first married to Jon Arryn.

Cat pens a letter to Lysa pleading for her to visit, but doesn’t expect a positive response. Edmure arrives home and reports that Stannis was defeated at King’s Landing with Tyrion injured and expected to die, the Riverlands are free of invaders, and he’s sending ravens to Harrenhal to have Roose Bolton block any possible routes south for Jamie and Brienne. Cat despairs.

Characters/Places/Names/Events
Catelyn Stark - Eldest child of Hoster Tully, widow of Ned Stark, father of King Robb.
Hoster Tully - Lord of Riverrun and Lord Paramount of the Trident. Dying of old age.
Lysa Arryn - sister to Catelyn Stark, widow of Jon Arryn hiding in the Vale with her son Lord Robert Arryn.
Edmure Tully - brother to Catelyn, heir to Riverrun.
Brynden “Blackfish” Tully - brother of Hoster Tully, uncle to Cat. Renowned soldier.
Brienne of Tarth - former Kingsguard to Renly Baratheon, witness to his murder. Sworn her sword to Catelyn. Currently escorting Jamie Lannister south.
Jamie Lannister - Father and uncle to King Joffrey Baratheon. Twin of Cersei Lannister. Freed from captivity by Catelyn.
Desmond Grell - master-at-arms at Riverrun.
Utherydes Wayn - steward of Lord Hoster Tully
Ser Robin Ryger - captain of the guards at Riverrun. Dispatch

Jaime takes a river cruise down the Red Fork with family and friends. Well, not  exactly. He's been freed by Cat but still in shackles, having vowed to send Sansa and Arya home in return. Things go smoothly, until they don't. Only Brienne's smarts and strength save the trio from recapture. Simon and Mackelly pull the oars.

Chapter Review:
Jaime Lannister has been freed from his Riverrun dungeon by Catelyn Stark. He vowed, under dubious conditions, to convince his brother Tyrion Lannister to send Sansa and Arya Stark home in return.

Jaime is still fettered and under the protection of Brienne of Tarth. His cousin Ser Cleos Frey rounds out the trio. They sail down the Red Fork of the Trident on a small skiff. Jaime antagonizes Brienne and she does her best to ignore the barbs.

They survey the destruction of the Riverlands from their boat, until Brienne sees a tree with dead women hanging in it. The sight is too much for her. She lands with the intent to cut the women down and bury them. While in the branches of the tree, Brienne sees a sail in the distance and they hurry for the boat.

Try as they might, their little boat cannot outrun the larger galley. Ser Robin Ryger and his crew make up the distance. The ship and boat play cat and mouse, until Brienne climbs a high bluff and pushes a boulder onto the ship, sinking it.

Jaime thinks he's free of the big warrior woman. But she leaps from the bluff into the water. Rather than using his oar as a weapon, putting an end to Brienne, he uses it to reel her back to the boat.

Characters/Places/Names/Events:
Jaime Lannister - Member of the royal Kingsguard. Twin brother to queen Cersei and older brother to Tyrion. Nicknamed the "Kingslayer" for killing King Aerys Targaryen. 
Brienne of Tarth - Warrior woman. Once "Brienne the Blue" in King Renly's Rainbow Guard. Now in the service of Cat Stark.
Ser Cleos Frey - Cousin to Jaime Lannister. Captive of the Starks. Playing messenger between the Starks and Lannisters in their negotiations.
Catelyn Stark - Lady of Winterfell. Wife of Lord Eddard Stark and daughter of Hoster Tully, the Lord Paramount of the Riverlands.
Ser Robin Ryger - Older knight. Captain of the Guard for Hoster Tully at

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.

Characters/Places/Names/Events:
Chett - Member of the Night’s Watch, keeper of the hounds.
Sam Tarly - Member of the Night’s Watch, assistant to Maester Aemon.

Fist of the First Men - Outcrop of rock north of the wall. In ancient times used a fort.
White Walkers - AKA The Others. Supernatural creatures of the far north, who can raise the dead to their aid.

In this special episode, Mackelly and Simon sit down with Elio M. Garcia and Linda Antonsson. Elio and Linda are the co-authors, along with George R.R. Martin, of the well-known “A World of Ice and Fire” and the soon-to-be-released “Rise of the Dragon.” They’re also the founders of the incredibly popular westeros.org.

Some of the topics we discuss include:

• How did Elio and Linda come to work so closely with George R.R. Martin?
• How does co-writing books with Martin work?
• What are their thoughts on Game of Thrones and the up-coming House of the Dragon?

Oh, and spoilers, spoilers, spoilers! We go beyond A Dance of Dragons and pick their brains about what they think is coming in The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring.

• Who do they think Azor Ahai is?
• Who do they think will sit the Iron Throne when the story wraps up?

And plenty more...

Bran and company are hiding in the crypts of Winterfell. They venture out to find the castle destroyed and Maester Luwin mortally wounded. Mackelly and Simon sort through the debris.

Chapter Review:
Bran Stark sees and smells the destruction of Winterfell through the eyes of Summer. He’s been in wolf form for three days, but Osha, Hodor, Rickon and the Reeds are waiting for, and on, him in the crypts beneath Winterfell. With what he’s learned, the party decides to venture forth - they need food anyway.

Only Hodor has the strength to move the door which is blocked by rubble. The destruction is wanton and considerable: horses, dogs, and people lie dead everywhere. Bran blames Theon Greyjoy, but Osha suspects that the "Squid Prince" might have been a victim here too. Rickon doesn’t recognize it as his home. But he does recognize the direwolves who come trotting up. The wolves scent something and head for the Godswood.

There they find Maester Luwin on the edge of death. He counsels Osha to split the boys up. Take Rickon to the King’s Road and Bran to the Wall. She does so, taking Rickon, while the remainder accompanies Bran north. He thinks that while the crypts remain Winterfell will always be the home of the Starks and the heart of the North.

Characters/Places/Names/Events:
Brandon (Bran) Stark -  Middle son of Eddard (Ned) and Catelyn (Cat) Stark. He was pushed from a tower by Jamie Lannister and lost the use of his legs.
Rickon Stark - Youngest son of Eddard (Ned) and Catelyn (Cat) Stark.
Summer - Direwolf of Bran Stark.
Shaggydog - Direwolf of Rickon Stark.

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.

Tyrion recovers from the wounds he sustained in the Battle of the Blackwater. He’s horribly disfigured and having wild fever dreams. Mackelly and Simon sniff the boiled wine.

Chapter Review:
Tyrion dreams of death and carrion. He is in a dungeon with other dying men. In his dream, he is mouthless and the city gates are barred to him. He lies in his own filth and seems to have no help or hope.

He wakes briefly in the Tower of the Hand in his own bed. What is dream and reality become blurred. He is visited by Cersei, Tywin, Littlefinger, and Varys. He dreams of feasts in his honor, where songs are sung of his bravery and he is knighted by his brother Jamie. He wakes again, but a maester forces him to drink milk of the poppy, and sleep claims him once more. Now he dreams of his happy honeymoon with Tysha, how loving and sweet those times seem to him.
 
The next time he wakes he refuses more drugs. Tyrion demands to see his wounds. Maester Ballabar advises otherwise, but Tyrion insists. His bandages are removed to reveal a terrible scar across his face, involving the loss of most of his nose. He also learns that he’s in Maegor’s Holdfast so that Cersei can personally oversee his care. He’s lost his position as his father has taken the role of Hand of the King, having saved the city. Pod updates him that Bronn is now Ser Bronn, and he confirms that Ser Mandon Moore is dead.
