Catelyn Stark is confined to her father’s chambers for freeing Jamie Lannister, there she stumbles upon a family secret. Simon and Mackelly muse upon the butterfly effect.
Chapter Review:
Desmond Grell and Utherydes Wayn have the tricky task of punishing their Lord’s daughter for her treasonous act of freeing Jamie Lannister. She both makes it harder for them (by being entirely unrepentant and refusing to play along with their extenuating circumstance olive branches) and easier for them (by readily agreeing to confinement in her father’s chambers).
Her dying father calls out about “Tansy”, “blood”, “forgiveness”, “You’ll have more sons, and trueborn”. Cat has never heard of Tansy and asking around doesn’t help, as the servants and attendants are on orders not to engage with her beyond what is strictly necessary. After some speculation Cat decides that Hoster is referring to Lysa - and the baby she lost when she was first married to Jon Arryn.
Cat pens a letter to Lysa pleading for her to visit, but doesn’t expect a positive response. Edmure arrives home and reports that Stannis was defeated at King’s Landing with Tyrion injured and expected to die, the Riverlands are free of invaders, and he’s sending ravens to Harrenhal to have Roose Bolton block any possible routes south for Jamie and Brienne. Cat despairs.
