The Second Red Wedding - ASOIAF
Summary
Robert explores the fan theory that a "Red Wedding 2.0" will occur in *A Song of Ice and Fire*, likely orchestrated by Lady Stoneheart at a Lannister-Frey wedding in Riverrun. The episode analyzes how characters like Tom of Sevenmark could serve as inside men, while Nymeria’s wolf pack and Jaime Lannister’s presence provide the necessary dramatic elements for a brutal, poetic revenge against the Freys and Lannisters.
