Arya burns her third wish in helping the north take Harrenhal from Amory Lorch. She\\u2019s abetted by Jaqen H\\u2019ghar and surprisingly Vargo Hoat - who has switched sides and is working for Roose Bolton. Mackelly and Simon weigh up what this means for Arya and the war.

Chapter Review:
Arya Stark's life has improved since Weese died. She roams Harrenhal after dark. She visits Hot Pie who is making bread for the morning. Their conversation is disturbed by the arrival of Vargo Hoat\\u2019s Bloody Mummers, with a hundred or more northern prisoners. He brags to Amory Lorch of a big victory over Roose Bolton\\u2019s men. Lorch has the captives taken to a cell. Arya begins to think of a plan.

She visits Gendry to enlist his help in freeing the prisoners. He\\u2019s not interested. She offers him the amazing reward of the gratitude of her mother and maybe even a job at Winterfell? Be still his beating heart. He points out that he\\u2019s doing the same job here, why should he care where or for whom. She goes instead to the Godswood to practice her water dancing, where she meets Jaqen H\\u2019ghar.

She wants him to help her free the prisoners, but he only owes her one death. She says his name, and he threatens to do it. But Arya agrees to unname him if he\\u2019ll help. With Rorge and Biter, they overcome the guards with kettles of soup and free the prisoners, who were expecting help. Turns out that Hoat had turned and the prisoners were an advance force of Roose Bolton\\u2019s army.

When Bolton arrives, he makes Arya his cup-bearer as a token of his appreciation for her aid in freeing Harrenhal.\\xa0
