Outline

Daenerys easily captures Meereen, assisted by a slave revolt. Seeking justice for 163 slain slave children, she nails 163 masters to the same road posts.

At sea, Littlefinger reveals his complicity in Joffrey’s death to Sansa. Before leaving King’s Landing, Olenna implies to Margaery that she poisoned Joffrey. She urges Margaery to marry Tommen before Cersei can turn him against her. Jaime believes Tyrion is innocent, but Cersei is adamant he is guilty and also orders Jaime to locate and kill Sansa. Jaime instead sends Brienne to find and protect Sansa, presenting her with new armour, his Valyrian sword, which she names Oath Keeper, horses and a squire, Podrick Payne.

In the North, hoping to eliminate Jon, Alliser Thorne and Janos Slynt conspire to have Jon lead the expedition against the mutineers, who have captured Bran and his companions. Further north, a White Walker takes Craster’s last newborn son to a secret ritual site where he is transformed into a Walker.
