Theon loses Bran, Rickon, and the direwolves. They escape with the help of Jojen, Meera, Osha, and Hodor. He gives chase, but they\u2019re outsmarted by the wolves and the wildling. Reek suggests a way for Theon to save face. Simon and Mackelly put Reek\u2019s plan to the sniff test.
Chapter Review:
Theon Greyjoy awakes abruptly in Ned and Catelyn Stark's bed in Winterfell, but all is quiet. Too quiet! The direwolves' infernal howling has stopped. Theon dresses and sends men to find out what is up. As the castle is roused it becomes apparent that Bran and Rickon have escaped.
The young princes are accompanied by their direwolves, Hodor, Osha, and the Reeds. No horses are missing so Theon decides to wait for morning before beginning the pursuit. With the morn he rides out with his men, the Winterfell hounds, Reek, and Maester Luwin. The latter beseeches Theon to not harm the boys. Both know that they\u2019re worth more alive than dead, so it is a deal Theon agrees to.
The hounds are defeated by some trickery by Osha - who has sent the direwolves in a different direction. Eventually, they\u2019re forced to admit defeat. But Reek has a plan to save face. He\u2019s brought spare cloaks and a wolf's head brooch, and has a hunch where the boys are.
