And so the path to Jamie Lannister's redemption starts - we see him looking out for Brienne even when they're tied together on the horse (OK, "Let them do it" might not be terribly palatable to modern audiences - but he was probably right). And all it cost him was his hand! I wonder if he thinks it's a fair trade.

 

Loved the "You Bastard!" line at the end, because once you realise who he is, you realise he's probably the guy who hired him.

 

And on the subject of bastards... even if I didn't know what was about to happen, you'd think Craster would be wary of insulting a large gang of armed men. Some people just deserve their fates.
