Jon makes a controversial choice for his ranging crew, gets unexpectedly bested in the yard, gets even more unexpected news out of Barrowtown, and receives a pair of impactful prophecies from Melisandre. Jenny and Mackelly break down Jon’s busy day.

Chapter Review:
Lord Commander Jon Snow has commanded nine Night’s Watch brothers to range north of the Wall. One of those nine is Ser Alliser Thorne, who is not happy about the assignment. He tells Jon that if he dies by an Other’s blade, he’ll be back for Jon as a wight. Afterward in the yard, Jon spars with three green recruits at once, easily defeating them. Rattleshirt is unimpressed and challenges Jon to fight a real man. When the fight begins, Jon is surprised by Rattleshirt’s prowess with a sword. Eventually, the wildling has to be dragged off Jon.
Clydas interrupts with a letter from Barrowtown bearing the seal of House Bolton. Warden of the North Roose Bolton has returned and requires fealty from the lords of the kingdom. He also wishes for their attendance to celebrate the marriage of his son Ramsay to… Arya Stark. Jon is stunned. He thought his sister died in King’s Landing.
That evening he runs into Melisandre alone in the yard. She foretells him that his sister Arya will arrive at Castle Black, fleeing her forced marriage. She then bonds with Ghost, much to Jon’s surprise. She tells Jon that three of the rangers he sent north will not survive. Jon will only find their eyeless heads. When these two prophecies come true, she hopes Jon will have faith in her and let her help his sister.
