Jamie and Brienne share a bath. Jamie also shares a story that comes as a shock to Brienne. Later, they both dine with Lord Roose Bolton. The pair learn why Vargo Hoat cut off Jamie's hand, as well as what Roose plans to do with them both. It’s good news for Jamie, not so much for Brienne. Simon and Mackelly ask Jamie to please pass the prunes.

Chapter Review:
Jamie Lannister slides himself into the tub currently occupied by Brienne of Tarth, much to Brienne’s dismay. After a squabble between the two, Jamie tells the full story of how he came to be known as the “Kingslayer.” He reveals never-before known details that paint him in a much more heroic light. Brienne is speechless.
After bath time, Brienne helps Jamie dress and then escorts him to dinner with Lord Roose Bolton. Jamie wants to know what Roose plans to do with Brienne and him. Roose explains that he has many options to consider regarding Jamie’s fate. Brienne says he must let them finish their prisoner exchange in King’s Landing. Roose says he’s been told it was a prison break, and if so Brienne is guilty of treason. All that said, he does plan on sending Jamie on to King’s Landing. First, he needs Jamie to promise to clear his name with Lord Tywin.
Roose explains Vargo Hoat cut off Jamie's hand to dissuade Roose from sending Jamie back to his family, since Vargo is Roose’s man, as Roose is King Robb’s man. Therefore, Roose should take some blame for the act. Jamie promises to make it clear Roose saved Jamie and Vargo acted alone. Brienne assumes she’ll be accompanying Jamie on his way. However, Roose sets her straight. She’ll stay in Harrenhal, as Vargo’s prize possession. He suggests she turn her attention to sapphires.
