So they flee Winterfell to survive.

(and I assume, on their way south, meet the Golden Company, which will be a frying pan into fire moment)

Hell, maybe that's how this goes, the battle of winterfell is all of episode 3, and then episode 4 is another battle, with humanity on one side of them, and the dead on the other.

Wouldn't that suck...

Anyway, I think they leave Winterfell the way the Lannisters fled during the fall of Casterly Rock. Although I don't think they're using Winterfell as a distraction the way Jamie did.

there is no way there is a big battle in episode 4 without Spago directing. He’s directing episode 5.
