How It All Goes Down
Jon VIII
- Qhorin tells Jon to build up the fire, and as Jon does so, he thinks back to Qhorin ordering Stonesnake and Ebben to make for the Fist to warn Mormont.
- Qhorin asks Jon to recite the vows of the Night's Watch with him.
- Afterward, he tells Jon that if the wildlings catch them, he is to yield and become a double agent.
- Jon argues at first but agrees.
- The two try to escape but are eventually cornered by a wildling hunting party led by the Lord of Bones, or, as Qhorin calls him, Rattleshirt.
- As ordered, Jon yields. Rattleshirt says they have no need of cravens, but Ygritte comes to Jon's defense. One good deed, right?
- Qhorin attacks Jon for turning "traitor," forcing Jon to slay him.
- Watching Jon kill Qhorin, the wildlings, except for Rattleshirt, accept him into their ranks.
- Ygritte tells Jon they'll meet with Mance at Milkwater as the King Beyond the Wall is marching on the Wall.
