The former Brother of the Night’s Watch and King Beyond the Wall is a broken man desperately pleading for his life and disavowing his kingship. He’s put in a cage above a pit of kindling.

She burns it in the pit, and the flames reach up to Mance.Acting on Jon’s orders, several of his men loose shafts to put their former brother out of his misery. As the smell of burning flesh fills the courtyard, Stannis unsheathes Lightbringer, brighter than ever, and the gate through the Wall is opened. The Free Folk are allowed through - the promise of soup and safety from the terrors of winter convince most. But some resist.Stannis has them burn weirwood branches to show their conversion from the Old Gods to R'Hllor and to take the knee before him. All this was against Jon’s advice.

The onion knight has rowed to Sweetsister after being abandoned by Salladhor Saan.

  Send us a textJon sends Aemon, Gilly, Sam, and the wrong baby away from the Wall. He appoints Night’s Watch brothers to rebuild and command castles along the Wall. Janos Slynt refuses and Jon levies a stiff punishment in response. Stannis approves. Simon and Mackelly admire Jon’s transformation - from boy to man.Chapter Review:Jon has met with Maester Aemon, who provided the same advice he once gave to his brother Egg: Kill the boy so that the man may be born. Time to grow up. Jon puts this into practice when he meets with Gilly and explains what she must do to save Dalla’s baby - give up her own. She agrees under considerable duress.Next, he meets with Sam who must go to Oldtown and become a maester. Sam is flustered, a Tarly cannot wear a chain of servitude, and he cannot learn to heal because he’s scared of blood. Jon reminds him that he’s a brother of the Night's Watch, and while he cannot order him to be brave, he can order him to hide his fears. He will go and he’ll earn his chain.Lastly, Jon commissions Bedwyck to refit and take command of the abandoned way-castle at Icemark. He’ll command 30 men. Bedwyck’s a seasoned ranger and Jon knows he’ll prove more than capable. He gives Janos Slynt the same opportunity at Greyguard. Slynt refuses.
