Arya and Gendry run past the cage, which is on fire. The cage guys call her "Sweet boy" and say, "A man can fight! Save us!" They make a pretty good argument. She tosses an axe into the cage and gets out of there. That's a good plan. You don't want to stand around hacking open the flaming cage full of probably-rapers while there's an assault going on around you. Just give them the axe and let them figure it out for themselves.
Arya is stopped by a bald gentleman who takes Needle from her. Also, he's no gentleman. Hot Pie is also grabbed, and he yields immediately. And repeatedly. He wants it clearly understood that he does not intend to put up a fight. Lorch announces that the survivors are to be rounded up and brought back to Harrenhal. That place is cursed! And Blondie took an arrow in the knee, so I guess he's no longer an adventurer. He tells the soldiers he can't walk, so he'll have to be carried. Instead, he gets Needle through the throat. The bald guy laughs, "Carry him, he says!" Really. Who thought that would work? Sorry, Blondie.
Lorch announces, "We're looking for a bastard named Gendry. Give him up or we start taking eyeballs." Pause. The recruits glance at each other. Finally, it occurs to Arya to claim that Blondie was Gendry. It helps that the bull helmet is on the grass next to his corpse. Good job, Blondie. It required your death, but you were finally useful for something.
