Synopsis

Catelyn listens to the continuous pounding noise of the drums the musicians in the hall are playing. She is seated between Ryman Frey and Roose Bolton during the wedding feast. She remarks to herself how joyless the wedding is, and watches as Robb dances with several of the Frey maids and Edmure dotes on his soon to be wife, Roslin. Catelyn becomes more wary when she learns that Olyvar, Perwyn, and Alesander Frey are all not in attendance at the wedding. She notices Merrett Frey trying to drink the Greatjon under the table, and finally Lord Walder Frey calls for the bedding. Robb does not participate as the Greatjon carries a weeping Roslin to the bed chamber.

Suddenly, things grow more ominous in the hall as Edwyn yells at Dacey Mormont, and the musicians begin to play "The Rains of Castamere". The musicians turn out to be crossbowmen, and the wedding becomes a slaughter. Catelyn watches in horror as Robb is pelted with arrows until the Smalljon throws a table over him. Wendel Manderly, the Smalljon, and Dacey Mormont all perish, and Catelyn realizes that she must try to intervene and save her son’s life. She grabs Jinglebell Frey and puts a dagger to the halfwit’s throat. Robb stumbles to his feet, and Catelyn commands him to leave the hall, but Walder Frey has already violated the laws of the hearth and will not let Robb get away. As Ryman and Black Walder close on her, she sees northmen burst into the room. One of them wears a pink cloak and runs Robb through with his sword, saying, "Jaime Lannister sends his regards."

Catelyn slits Jinglebell’s throat, then begins to claw at her face and eyes, until she is grabbed from behind and feels steel drawn across her own throat…
