Summary
Now that Gandalf has returned from the dead, he serves as the captain of the hunters. He leads them to Théoden's halls, and tells the guards that they have come back to return the horses that Éomer had lent them.
The four companions enter the hall after leaving their weapons behind, but they do not get a warm welcome. Théoden is reluctant to show gratitude; he says this is because Gandalf almost always heralds bad news and asks for help. In truth, it is because Saruman has a secret hold on him in the form of his advisor, Wormtongue.
Gandalf frees Théoden from the wicked influence of Wormtongue. Gandalf then asks Théoden to release Éomer, who has been held prisoner of Wormtongue's counsel. Éomer returns and lays his sword at Théoden's feet. Théoden realizes his mistake in trusting Wormtongue. He decides that he will himself lead the riders of Rohan against Saruman. Wormtongue is sent away.
Théoden gives Shadowfax to Gandalf. He proclaims that Éomer (his heir) and Éowyn (his niece) are to rule in his place until he returns.
