Bran is seeking to understand the meaning of both the comet and the incessant howling of the direwolves. There are lots of opinions. He\u2019s increasingly in sync with his direwolf. When he dreams, he doesn\u2019t just dream of being a wolf, he sees through Summer\u2019s eyes. Mackelly and Simon ponder the implications.
Chapter Review:
Nobody can sleep because Shaggydog and Summer howl all night. The direwolves are confined to the Godswood, and aren\u2019t happy about it. The Winterfell cast all have an opinion as to why the wolves are howling, none of which are much use. Similarly the chorus all have a theory about the comet - but again, it\u2019s just hot air (well apart from Old Nan who is unerringly accurate: \u201cDragons!\u201d, but nobody believes her).
The two Walder Freys have arrived (fostered as part of the Twins-crossing deal with their grandfather Walder). They are rambunctious and fun. One of their games led to Rickon getting knocked down, and Shaggydog bit a Walder. This incident had two effects: the wolves were banished to the Godswood, and Rickon became firm friends with the Walders.
Bran\u2019s given a sleeping draught to get him through the night, but still dreams he\u2019s Summer. He prowls the walls of the Godswood, looking for a way out. Bran feels, but doesn\u2019t fully understand, the urgent desire to get out. Something compels the direwolves to be free.
