Synopsis

Jon is helping the other recruits to fight, when Samwell Tarly enters the yard. The boy is fat, and immediately ridiculed by Ser Alliser. After he is fitted with armor, Halder is sent against Sam and hurts him. Thorne, relentless, wants Halder to hit Sam further, but Jon objects. Thorne sends three boys against Jon, but Grenn and Pyp come to Jon’s aid. Ser Alliser leaves in a fury. Sam admits he is a coward, further exemplifying Tyrion’s statement about men denying a hard truth. Later, Jon joins Sam at dinner and walks with him outside. Jon reveals a dream he’s been having, of returning to Winterfell, but it is completely empty. And then he has to descend the stairs to the crypt, and it is then that he wakes up. Sam tells of his father, Lord Randyll Tarly, who sent Sam to the Wall and disowned him as heir, passing the title to his younger son Dickon. Jon goes to the other recruits and convinces them not to hurt Sam in the yard. Sam later thanks Jon and calls him his first friend.
