Jon intends to lead the land party to Hardhome to rescue more wildlings. Queen Selyse and Melisandre think this is a bad idea, but Jon has had it with Melisandre and her predictions that don't come true (or are at least slightly wrong, or delayed). Bowen Marsh also thinks it's a bad idea, because who cares about wildlings?
There's a meeting about which wildlings should command which castles. Bowen Marsh thinks they are bad and should be hung. This is not going well.
Jon has a chat with Tormund Giantsbane. He gets on much better with him and finds him far more agreeable. Then a letter from Ramsay Bolton arrives. According to it, Stannis is dead, Mance Rayder is captured, Theon and Jeyne Pool (who Jon thinks is Arya) have escaped, and Ramsay wants them back or else he'll kill Jon.
Jon calls a new meeting in which he announces that Tormund Giantsbane will rescue the wildlings in Hardhome and Jon will go and face Ramsay. Alone, if needs be, since the Watch are not supposed to meddle in the affairs of kings and he doesn't want to make anyone break an oath. But he's skirting awfully close to oathbreaking himself. The wildlings don't care, but the other Watchmen do. In fact Jon seems to be getting on too well with the wildlings and not well enough with the Watch.
So it shouldn't really be a surprise that mutiny is in the air. Though it does come so very suddenly. I suppose it is always the way: everything is fine, until it isn't. Jon gets stabbed 4 times. Will he survive? Ghost can't help him because Ghost is locked up to stop him from attacking Borroq the warg's boar.
If someone doesn't rescue Jon, whether he survives or not, his Watch-reforming days are over. I guess he just tried to do too much, too quickly. And was too concerned with helping Arya, who was not even Arya.
