A Man Without Honor recap

Main: A Man Without Honor

This recap of "A Man Without Honor" features a detailed sectionon each scene of the episode.

Scene 1
Theon Greyjoy wakes to find himself alone in bed

Scene 2
In the courtyard of Winterfell, Theon, Dagmer and several of his men stand around the corpse of the guard killed by Osha in the night. Theon is furious that his men allowed Osha, Bran, Rickon and Hodor to escape, but when one of his men implies that Theon is to blame as well, as he let Osha seduce him, Theon lashes out and pummels the man in a rage before ordering Dagmer to get hounds and horses.

Scene 3
Theon's party ride through the forests around Winterfell, following two men with hounds tracking the scent, with Maester Luwin brought along as well. Luwin reminds Theon that he is hunting two little boys, but Theon retorts that he was only a child when he was brought to Winterfell as a hostage, but he kept his word and never tried to escape. Theon adds that if he finds Rickon and Bran soon, he'll punish them for daring to run, but he'll let them live. Luwin urges that Theon has more use for the boys alive than dead; Theon reminds him that it is a moot point if they remain missing. Luwin also adds that by now Robb will have sent a force to retake Winterfell, but Theon s dismissive, saying that his sister at Deepwood Motte will arrive to reinforce him before then, asserting that Ned Stark always said a force of five hundred could hold Winterfell against ten thousand. At that moment, one of the hounds lets out a howl: they've got the scent. As he turns his horse to follow, Theon grins at Luwin and tells him not to look so grim, as it's all just a game.

Scene 4
Shaggydog and Summer walk along the banks of a river, with Osha, Hodor, Bran and Rickon following behind the direwolves. Osha complains that they should have brought more food, but Bran insists they couldn't risk going to the kitchens. When Osha remarks that the people of Winterfell would have given Bran anything to help him, he points out that Theon would have hanged any who helped them escape if he found out. Osha insists that Rickon and Hodor will tire eventually, having been walking since before sunrise.

Their walking brings them close to a nearby farm; Bran remembers it as the place where he sent two orphans from Winterfell to help the farmer. Rickon insists they can find food and shelter there, but Bran says no, arguing that Theon will torture the people to find out where they are if he tracks them to the farm. Osha worries that despite having a good start, they can't outrun Theon forever, particularly if he is using hounds to track them.
