Outline

Brienne and Podrick arrive at an inn near Winterfell and smuggle a message to Sansa, offering her help if it is needed. Sansa discovers Theon at Winterfell, and Ramsay forces him to apologise to her for supposedly killing her little brothers.

At the Wall, Tormund accepts an alliance with the Night’s Watch that will allow the Wildlings to settle south of the Wall. Jon and Tormund travel to Hardhome to persuade the Wildlings. Stannis’s army leaves for Winterfell, taking his family and Melisandre with them.

In Meereen, as Grey Worm recuperates, he and Misandei develop romantic feelings. Daenerys feeds a Meereenese nobleman to her dragons, Viserion and Rhaegal, and imprisons the others. She later agrees to reopen the fighting pits and weds Loraq to facilitate peace. At sea, Tyrion and Jorah sail through Valyria, seeing Drogon flying overhead. They are attacked by stone men and escape, but Jorah is infected with greyscale.
