S2E8 · The Prince of Winterfell

Complete story — includes the ending

Robb learns that Catelyn secretly freed Jaime Lannister, who Brienne is escorting to King's Landing to exchange for Sansa and Arya. Robb places his mother under house arrest and sends men to recapture Jaime. Yara arrives at Winterfell and criticizes Theon's seizing it, as he will not receive reinforcements to hold it. He refuses to return to Pyke with her. When Tywin leaves Harrenhal to attack Robb, Arya coerces Jaqen into helping her, Gendry, and their friend, Hot Pie, to escape. In King's Landing, Cersei gets revenge on Tyrion for sending Myrcella to Dorne by abducting Ros, whom she mistakenly believes is his secret lover. Joffrey chastises Varys for not having more knowledge of Stark positions, and prepares to lead the attack against Stannis himself. En route to King's Landing, Stannis promises to make Davos his Hand of the King. Beyond the Wall, a wildling leader called "Rattleshirt" leads the captured Jon and Halfhand to his king, Mance Rayder. At the Fist of the First Men, the brothers of the Night's Watch find a hidden cache of dragonglass weapons. In Qarth, Jorah agrees to accompany Daenerys to the House of the Undying to retrieve her dragons. Bran and Rickon are revealed to be alive and hiding in the Winterfell crypts.
