When called up, he says he had been preparing to march, and was just waiting for all his forces to arrive. Though held by House Frey, bannermen to Catelyn Stark's father, Lord Walder Frey has not yet taken up arms.

To enter the castle would be perilous for Robb, so Catelyn Stark enters to negotiate their crossing the river. Theon Greyjoy shoots down messenger ravens, so no word of their presence can be relayed, but finds nothing more but messages to extended family members. Robb's army has reached the Twins, the heavily fortified crossing over the Green Fork of Trident River. As Drogo's wound festers, Dany defies Qotho and puts her trust in the enslaved witch Mirri Maz Duur.

Jon is rewarded for his valor and discovers a dark secret about Maester Aemon. Robb wins his first major victory and captures a prized prisoner. Tyrion acquires a mistress and is forced by his father to fight on the front lines. Catelyn brokers an unsavory deal with the slippery Walder Frey. With Sansa's life in danger, Ned makes a fateful decision.
