The remnants of the Brave Companions threaten Willow and the inn's children, and Brienne fights them off,[3] but is severely injured. After the fight is over, Jeyne arrives and takes care of Brienne, dressing her wounds and splinting her broken arm. Jeyne and Gendry bring Brienne and her companions, Podrick Payne and Ser Hyle Hunt, to a cave to meet with Lady Stoneheart.[4]
