Summary
Shirley doesn’t remember when exactly she started suspecting it. The moment (or moments) should be easy to recall, considering she hasn’t paid Spider that much attention in the last few months. But at some point she starts to notice, starts to get that feeling. That sense; like looking at Spider is like looking at a bird in a cage.
or
Shirley cracks an egg, Spider takes a leap, and River is just happy to be there.

Summary
Spider was the one who fell into the coma, James is the one who wakes up.
James reckons with his new life: navigating the fallout from his injury, working in slough house, and coming to terms with emotions he never allowed himself to feel.
River tries to grapple the Spider he knew with the one he has; and if he can allow himself the happiness that is finally within his grasp.

Summary
"Is there anything I could– I could offer that would change your mind?" he had asked once. Ser Criston, the wasting fool, the flickering star, the almost contented, had shook his head. "I do not expect you to understand," he had said calmly. "You who has no need of glory."
Gwayne washes the Riverlands from his skin.

Summary
He watched Criston tuck himself back into his breeches, resisting the urge to reach out and help as he had many times before. He hated how long he had been coming to this tent, searching for something that had clearly run its course. There was a time when these encounters were not nearly as bleak, a time when there was passion born out of the thrill of surviving for as long as they had. But somewhere along the road, survival had started to lose its luster.
//
Set sometime around 3x05.

Summary
“I remember every story you ever read to me. Every sword and riding lesson. Every scraped knee you cleaned on your own.” Daeron’s voice cracked. “Every time you stood between me and Ormund when he was blinded by his rage. As long as you were near, I knew he couldn’t touch me.”
“I was only doing what anyone would’ve–” Gwayne stopped himself, realizing.
“No one else did. Just you.” Daeron’s smile trembled. “I want you to remember that I was never afraid when I was with you. Tomorrow will be no different.”
//
On the eve of battle, Daeron asks Gwayne what will become of them.

Summary
River tries – and fails – not to think about a lot of things. His grandfather telling him to get out, his grandson is eleven, not you, whoever the hell you think you are; the man on the bus on Monday that had looked like one of his half-brothers, close enough that River had doubled back three times before finally getting home; the constant waiting, lately, for his father to make a move; the chance that this is finally it, and River is running directly into a trap.
Mostly, he thinks about Louisa.
