GAME OF THRONES SEASON 2 EPISODE 2 SUMMARY HOW TO
Mormont asks Jon if someday he wants to lead and tells him that first he needs to "learn how to follow." His information and shelter in the harsh conditions north of the Wall have helped them many times before. Jeor reprimands Jon, noting that Craster may be disgusting, but the Night's Watch needs him. When Craster refers to them as southerners, Jon argues with him. Jon challenges their host, who is low and crude, but is demanding and demeaning when he is talking to the noble Commander Mormont (who ignores his insulting behavior). Craster tells Jeor that he has not seen the missing Benjen Stark and reports that the other wildlings are assembling for the King-Beyond-the-Wall Mance Rayder. Jon Snow, Grenn, Eddison Tollett and Samwell Tarly are repulsed by Craster, who has many wives, most of whom are also his own daughters, but who seemingly has no sons. Lord Commander Jeor Mormont's rangers arrive at Craster's Keep having passed several abandoned wildling villages. The Night's Watch approaches Crasters Keep. In the North, Bran presides over a threadbare Winterfell while, beyond the Wall, Jon Snow and the Night's Watch must shelter with a devious wildling. Across the sea, Daenerys, her three young dragons, and khalasar trek through the Red Waste in search of allies, or water. On the island of Dragonstone, Stannis Baratheon plots an invasion to claim his late brother's throne, allying himself with the fiery Melisandre, a strange priestess of a stranger god. As Robb Stark and his northern army continue the war against the Lannisters, Tyrion arrives in King's Landing to counsel Joffrey and temper the young king's excesses.
