Summary:
North of the Wall : Gared Tuttle is seen climbing a tree, trying to get a better vantage point. He analyzes the map to the North Grove, and looks up in the night sky to see that the "Ice Dragon" is actually a constellation. Right below the stars is what appears to be a towering grove of ironwood trees. Gared climbs back down and informs Cotter and Sylvi. However, Sylvi reveals that Cotter is in a lot of pain, and his infected wound has only gotten worse. Gared helps Sylvi find some nightshade, so she can make essence of nightshade to ease Cotter's pain. However, the group is then ambushed by a vicious snow bear. They flee across a frozen river into a cave, which leads to the North Grove. There, Gared and his group are held at spear-point by several strange warriors. They appear to be controlled by a strange wildling and her brother, a warg who was controlling the snow bear. The siblings don't trust them, Gared and Cotter still being dressed as "crows" and Sylvi being a wildling. When Gared reveals he comes from House Forrester at the orders of Lord Gregor Forrester, the two wildlings stand down and reveal that they aren't wildlings at all: they are Josera Snow and Elsera Snow...the bastard children of Gregor Forrester.
Josera and Elsera explain that Gregor left them at the North Grove when they were young, to guard the North Grove for the coming winter. Elsera's warriors inform her that wights are closing in, so she and Josera ready to defend the North Grove. On their way, though their origins remain a mystery, Josera reveals that Elsera controls the warriors through blood magic. Sylvi comments that there is something unnatural about the North Grove and its warriors, and she warns Gared not to trust Elsera. The wights come, and the warriors prove to be effective at fighting the horde of the undead. If Finn was brought north of the Wall, he appears as a wight that tries to kill Gared. After the wights are defeated, Elsera orders the warriors back to the grove. One warrior appears to be unable to hear her, so she gets close and repeats her command. The warrior becomes hostile and tries to kill her, but she manages to regain control. Josera reveals that Elsera's bloodmagic is dangerous, and her control is beginning to slip.
Back at the grove, the warriors have been tending to Cotter's injury, but despite their best efforts, Elsera and Sylvi both conclude that he is dying. Elsera refuses to let Sylvi see Cotter, and insists that only Gared may come. Thus, Sylvi gives Gared the nightshade they found earlier, to poison Cotter and give him a quick and painless death. Inside the North Grove, Elsera reveals that she intends to use Cotter to strengthen her bloodmagic, by using a ritual that involves cutting out his still-beating heart. If Gared chooses to use the power of the North Grove and help Elsera's ritual, he cuts open Cotter's chest. Extracting the heart, he squeezes the drops of blood into a nearby fire, and the warriors seem to be affected. Elsera pronounces the ritual a success, and her hold over the warriors is stronger than ever. If Gared poisons Cotter, one of the warriors breaks free of Elsera's control, forcing her to kill it.
Afterwards, the group burns Cotter's body to prevent it from being reanimated. Sylvi looks at Gared with either sorrowful approval or barely-contained anger (depending on how Gared dealt with Cotter). Josera announces his intention to march south to Ironrath, to help reclaim his father's home. Elsera scolds Josera for wanting to abandon the North Grove and their mission, pointing out that Ironrath likely has already fallen. They leave the decision up to Gared. If Gared decides they will march south, the group is shown marching away from the North Grove, with an army of the North Grove's warriors. If Gared decides to stay and protect the North Grove, the group is seen with the warriors planting ironwood torches around the North Grove, preparing for the onslaught of the White Walkers.
At King's Landing : Mira Forrester is about to enter Lady Margaery Tyrell's room, but she hears Margaery scolding and Sera crying. Margaery has learned that Sera stole Queen Cersei's wine, and is furious that Sera would jeopardize Margaery's position like that. If Mira took the House Tyrell seal, Margaery suspects Sera of having stolen it.
In the North : Depending on who was left behind at the ambush, either Lord Rodrik Forrester or Asher Forrester leads the pit fighters and what remains of House Forrester's men back to Ironrath. Rodrik mourns with Beskha for Asher, while Asher flees for his life from and fights off the pursuing Whitehill men.
Back at Ironrath, the Forrester household is shocked to hear of the other brother's death. Elaena Glenmore, if she slept with Rodrik, howls with grief at Rodrik's death. If Rodrik survived, he must convince the pit fighters to fight for him, as they had swore to fight for Asher...not his brother. If Asher survived, the Sentinel declares Asher the new Lord of House Forrester. The Forresters are interrupted by the forces of House Whitehill at the gates. If Rodrik survived, they are there to demand Rodrik surrender Ironrath and present himself for execution. If Asher survived, Lord Whitehill boasts that he has already won Ramsay's "game", because Rodrik was the lord and Asher is an exile with no claim. When Rodrik refuses Ludd's demands, Lord Whitehill has Ryon present Asher's head on a pike, and orders an attack. With Asher, Lord Whitehill proposes a compromise: Asher can be Lord of House Forrester and the Forresters can keep Ironrath...if they swear fealty to House Whitehill and Asher marries Gwyn Whitehill (thus making a Whitehill the heir to Ironrath). Both brothers come up with a plan. Rodrik decides to take the pit fighters out through the postern gate and sneak around to Ludd's main encampment along a secret forest trail. Asher decides to either poison Ludd or ambush the Whitehill men at the "engagement party".
Rodrik sneaks into the Whitehill camp, and overhears Ludd ordering Gryff Whitehill to kill Ryon, as punishment for Rodrik's defiance. Rodrik is forced to choose between killing Lord Whitehill and saving Ryon.
