In this episode, Catelyn Stark reunites with her firstborn child Robb at Moat Cailin; she still thinks of him fondly as her squalling infant son, but he's all grown up now and leading men to war.

This week, we:

-Ponder the fate of Ashara Dayne

-Welcome the Manderlys of "the north remembers" fame to the story

-Lay out the Young Wolf's plan of attack as he marches against the merciless Lannisters

-Discuss the one major mistake (or is it??) he makes in that plan: giving Roose Bolton command of his infantry

-Wipe "dust" (totally not tears!) from our manly eyes while discussing the rich, moving relationship between Cat and Robb

Next week: a *much* less moving parent-child reunion. That's right, we're finally getting to Tywin, it's time for AGOT Tyrion VII!
