Jaime heads south while Brienne stays a captive of Vargo Hoat. After a night\\u2019s sleep and a dream, his conscience pricked, he heads back to Harrenhal and saves Brienne from a terrible fate. Simon and Mackelly open their minds a tiny crack toward his redemption?!

Chapter Review:
Jaime Lannister leaves Harrenhal alongside Lord Roose Bolton. The pair split up and head in opposite directions, both sending regards to Robb Stark and Tywin Lannister, respectively. Jaime reminisces about his trip through these parts after first donning the white cloak of the Kingsguard. He learns that Vargo Hoat was unhappy with Lord Selwyn Tarth's offer of 300 gold dragons for Brienne's safe return.

That night he dreams that he's deep in Casterly Rock, where his family abandons him to the darkness. Only Brienne stays by his side. He's visited by the shades of his Kingsguard brothers and Rhaegar Targaryen. They admonish him for killing King Aerys and allowing Rhaegar's wife and children to be killed. He wakes and determines he's going back to Harrenhal.

Upon arrival at Harrenhal, he discovers that Brienne has been thrown in the bear pit with nothing but a dress of silk and a tourney sword. He jumps in to save her. He protects her until crossbowmen kill the bear. Later, when Brienne asks why he returned to Harrenhal, he simply says he dreamed of her.
