Outline

Margaery, newly wed to Tommen, manipulates him to consider sending Cersei to Casterly Rock to eliminate her interference.

Littlefinger takes Sansa to Winterfell to cement an alliance with Roose Bolton through marriage to his son, Ramsay (since she never consummated her marriage with Tyrion, it has no legal effect), without the Lannisters’ knowledge.

Brienne begins training Podrick in swordsmanship.

To conform to the House of Black and White, Arya tosses her personal effects into the harbour, except for Needle which she hides in a pile of rocks.

At Castle Black, Jon names Thorne First Ranger. When Slynt disobeys his orders, Jon executes him.

Lancel discovers the High Septon in a brothel and forces him to walk the streets nude as punishment. The High Septon complains to Cersei, who imprisons him instead. She meets the High Sparrow, approving the Sparrows’ actions.

Tyrion and Varys arrive in Volantis and visit a brothel, where Tyrion is abducted by Jorah, intending to give him “to the queen”.
