Episode Summary:
The Night’s Watch prepare for the coming invasion by the wildlings. Gilly arrives at the Wall shortly before Mance Rayder’s army. The wildlings attack from both sides, with one army climbing the Wall, and Ygritte’s army attacking Castle Black. After Ygritte and her army get through, a bloody battle ensues. The wildlings attempt to break through the tunnel leading into Castle Black with the help of several giants and a woolly mammoth, but are stopped by Grenn and five others, who die holding the tunnel. Alliser Thorne goes down to the main level of Castle Black to fight, leaving Janos Slynt in charge. However Slynt proves to be incompetent as a commander, and is tricked into going down the main level, effectively leaving Jon in charge. Pyp is shot by Ygritte and dies in Sam’s arms. After watching Jon kill Styr the Thenn, Ygritte prepares to kill Jon, but is shot by Olly. Jon holds Ygritte in his arms as she dies. With the help of Jon’s direwolf, Ghost, the ground level of Castle Black is secured by the Night’s Watch. The wall climbers are sliced apart and completely obliterated from a massive scythe that acts as the Wall’s secret weapon. The wildlings retreat, but, Jon predicts, not for long. Seeing no other choice, he goes beyond the Wall to find and kill Mance.

Ramsay forces Reek to masquerade as his former self, Theon Greyjoy, and orders him to get the Ironborn to surrender Moat Cailin in return for the safe return of the Ironborn to the Iron Islands. The initial leader refuses, but the Ironborn kill him in hopes of returning home. However, after they open the Moat’s gates, the Ironborn are flayed and slaughtered by Ramsay and his army. As a reward for securing the Moat, Roose, using his power as Warden of the North, legitimizes Ramsay and makes him a true Bolton as they arrive at Winterfell. Across the Narrow Sea, Missandrei and Grey Worm deal with the sexual tension between the two of them. Ser Barristan is delivered a letter intended for Ser Jorah which pardons him as a reward for spying on Daenerys. After confronting him, Ser Barristan gives the letter to Daenerys, who orders Jorah to leave Meereen and never return, officially ending their partnership.

Meanwhile in King’s Landing, Jaime and Tyrion share one final philosophical conversation as the trial by combat looms and arrives. Prince Oberyn and the Mountain fight. Prince Oberyn lands some hits on the Mountain and is able to stab him, seemingly killing him as Oberyn goes mad as he tries to get the Mountain to confess what he did. As Oberyn circles him however, the Mountain grabs Oberyn’s head before confessing to killing Elia and her children, gouges his eyes out and crushes his skull, killing him. The Mountain, then suffering from his severe injuries, collapses to the ground. Tywin rises and sentences Tyrion to death for regicide.
