Jon returns to Castle Black to spread the word of the impending wildling attack. He discovers he was spotted riding with wildlings. Jon grapples with his feelings on Yigrette, while Maester Aemon repairs the damage the wildling arrow did to Jon\u2019s leg. Finally, he gets news of some of his NIght\u2019s Watch brothers' fate, from the Great Ranging. Simon and Mackelly hunt for a get-well-soon gift.
Chapter Review:
Jon Snow finally returns to Castle Black. He\u2019s sick with fever from his infected leg wound. The castle is severely depleted of men. He finds Donal Noye who tells Jon that he was seen riding freely with the wildlings. Jon explains about his mission from Qhorin Halfhand.
Noye insists Jon go see Maester Aemon to have his wound tended to but Jon thinks there\u2019s no time, as the wildlings are headed to Castle Black. However, Noye gets his way and Maester Aemon needs to cut out the infection and sear the wound with a hot knife. While Aemon is preparing for his work, he tells Jon of Lord Commander Mormont\u2019s death at the hands of his own men. Jon then ponders the possibilities to succeed Mormont.
When the pain of the hot knife gets too intense, Jon passes out. He wakes to find two old friends waiting with him. They tell him who survived the mutiny at Craster\u2019s Keep and of how they left a catatonic Sam Tarly. Aemon again is the bearer of bad news, informing Jon of the fate of Bran and Rickon and the sacking of Winterfell. Finally, Jon dreams of being in Winterfell with Yigrette. They\u2019re in a hot pool together but he refuses to father a bastard with her and she melts into the water.
