How It All Goes Down
Catelyn IV
- Catelyn prays to the Mother to protect everyone in the battle to come. She wonders if Cersei also prays to the gods…
- She returns as Renly and his commanders are preparing their battle plans, and after the commanders leave the tent, Brienne begins fitting Renly into his armor.
- Catelyn tries once more to council Renly. She says her son will put down his crown if Renly and Stannis will do the same and call for a Great Council to settle the matter—after the Lannisters are defeated, of course.
- Renly says the time for talking is done.
- Suddenly, a shadowy creature enters the tent and kills Renly where he stands by stabbing him in the throat. Irony.
- Knights enter and blame Brienne. They attack despite Catelyn's cries to stop, and a candle is knocked over, catching the tent on fire.
- Brienne kills two of the knights, and Catelyn manages to convince Ser Robar it was Stannis's doing.
- With the tent aflame, Robar says he'll hold them back if Catelyn can get Brienne out of there.
- Catelyn finds her entourage, and they ride away from Renly's camp, taking Brienne with them.
- Catelyn knows Storm's End and its host now belong to Stannis.
