Brienne follows Nimble Dick into the wilds. There she encounters some familiar faces, learns some intel on the wrong Stark girl, and registers her first kills. Ser Hyle Hunt offers to help bury a body. Simon and Mackelly survey the damage.
Chapter Review:
Brienne of Tarth and Podrick Payne follow Nimble Dick Crabb toward The Whispers, where he claims to have sent a fool and two girls. They were looking for discreet passage across the Narrow Sea, and the map purportedly took them to where smugglers would lend them a hand.
Brienne is very untrusting of Dick, and he doesn’t help his cause when she catches him rummaging through her saddle bags. They get to comparing the heroes of their homelands. It sounds like it would have been quite the battle. Pod notices that they are being followed, again.
At the Whispers, they find signs of life. Brienne arms Dick, but Shagwell, Timeon, and Pyg surprise them. Shagwell kills Dick for tricking them into coming here. The three try to distract her with news from the Riverlands - Sandor Clegane has captured and rides with the Stark girl. Despite the news, Brienne dispatches Pyg. A rock hits Shagwell in the face and she is able to end Timeon with barely a scratch. She makes Shagwell dig a grave for Dick. As she buries him, Shagwell attacks her, she stabs him mercilessly to death. Ser Hyle Hunt arrives, he’s been charged by Lord Randyl Tarly with keeping an eye on Brienne, in case she finds Sansa. He helps her bury Dick.
