Synopsis: Beric begins his fight against Sandor Clegane with his neat party trick of being able to light his sword on fire. Given his feelings toward fire, it’s admirable to see the Hound continue to fight and not bitch out like he did at Blackwater. The crowd, including Arya, shout for Beric to kill the Hound, but The Hound slices Beric. Thoros jumps to his side while Arya, ever the brave soldier, grabs a sword and darts for the Hound. She is stopped when Beric, not so dead anymore, interrupts them. Sandor is set free, despite Arya’s objections. At the wildlings camp, Jon Snow is under interrogation from Orell and the others about the Night’s Watch. As Jon answers about the different castles guarding the wall, things get heated when Orell assumes he’s lying, but Ygritte jumps to his defense. They break off and head into a cave where Ygritte shows Jon where else she’s been kissed by fire by getting naked. Jon in turn kisses her right in her kissed by fireplace, and they finally consummate their flirtation. Jaime and Brienne are delivered to Roose Bolton, where Roose updates Jaime on the war.
