Jon’s negotiation with Mance Rayder is interrupted when Stannis and his army overrun the Wildling camp, taking Mance prisoner.

Bran’s group comes upon the large heart tree from his visions but they are attacked by skeletons who kill Jojen; a Child of the Forest saves the others and takes them to the Three-Eyed Raven, revealed to be an old man encased within tree roots inside a cave.

In the Vale, Brienne and Podrick encounter Arya and the Hound, who attacks Brienne; she critically wounds him, while Arya hides from her. The Hound begs Arya to kill him, but she takes his money and leaves him for dead. She boards a ship headed to Braavos to find H’ghar.

In King’s Landing, Cersei orders Qyburn to save Ser Gregor, who was poisoned by Oberyn’s blade. Jaime releases Tyrion who finds Shae in Tywin’s bed and fatally strangles her. He confronts and kills Tywin in the privy, then escapes the city with Varys.

In Meereen, some ex-slaves miss their bonds, and a citizen brings Daenerys his daughter’s charred remains, burned by dragon fire. Daenerys chains Rhaegal and Viserion in the catacombs, though Drogon remains at large.
