The Night Lands

  S2E2  

Returning to Pyke Island after nine years as the Starks' ward, Theon is reunited with his sister, Yara, and his father, Balon, who despises Theon's acquired Northern ways. Balon plots to win back his crown by force. Cersei rejects Robb's terms, and Tyrion exiles Slynt, head of the Gold Cloaks, to the Wall, and promotes Bronn to Commander of the Watch. On the road to the Wall, Arya, who has been pretending to be a boy, reveals her true identity to Gendry. North of the Wall, Samwell Tarly is approached by Gilly, one of Craster's daughters. Gilly fears for her unborn child if it is a boy; Jon Snow is reluctant to render help, despite Sam's pleas. In the Red Waste, a horse returns to Daenerys with its rider's severed head in a pouch, a message from her enemies. In Dragonstone, Davos, Stannis' henchman, recruits the pirate Salladhor Saan to Stannis' side. Stannis has sex with Melisandre, attempting to obtain the son his wife is unable to give him. Jon discovers that Craster sacrifices his sons to the White Walkers; Craster catches him spying and knocks Jon unconscious.
