Template:S03E10 Synopsis

Summary

In the Seven Kingdoms

At the Twins, following the massacre of the northern lords at the Red Wedding, House Frey turns its soldiers on the northern army encamped outside their walls. The ensuing battle is a one-sided massacre as the leaderless northerners fight desperately for survival. Arya Stark and the Hound flee the carnage, but not before seeing her brother's mutilated corpse being paraded by Frey men-at-arms, his head cut off and replaced by his direwolf,  Grey Wind's.

In the great hall of the castle the following morning, as servants clean up the aftermath of the Red Wedding, Lords Walder Frey and Roose Bolton gloat over their victory and the rewards their treachery has won them; Frey has become Lord of Riverrun and Bolton has been appointed Warden of the North in place of the Starks. Bolton expresses some concern that Brynden Tully survived the massacre, but Frey dismisses his concerns, pointing out the Blackfish is alone and outnumbered against House Frey, Bolton and their allies, the Lannisters. Bolton makes plain his contempt for Robb Stark, considering the late boy-king arrogant, incompetent and unwilling to take Roose's advice and make the hard decisions needed to win. Walder questions Bolton about his intentions to take Winterfell  as his seat and asks how the castle ended up a ruin. Roose explains that his bastard Ramsay offered Robb Stark's terms that the ironborn occupiers would be shown mercy if they handed over Theon Greyjoy, but when they did, they learned that Ramsay, in his father's words, "has his own way of doing things".
