Upon Jaime's arrival at Winterfell, Ice is unofficially (but wholly) returned to Winterfell, as he wields Widow's Wail for the Starks, while Brienne had previously arrived at Winterfell wielding Oathkeeper. She asks what it was he named it, and when told, she remarks that he "really was a cunt, wasn't he?" Olenna then asks if the sword will be used to kill her, but it is poison (provided by Jaime) which does. After the Sack of Highgarden, Jaime meets with Olenna Tyrell in her chambers, and she points out the sword he wears as formerly belonging to Joffrey, though he never used it. Jaime is seen wearing Widow's Wail after returning from the Riverlands. The fate of the second blade, Widow's Wail, has not been revealed. In a way, Ice returns to the service of the Starks, when Brienne swears her service to Sansa, laying Oathkeeper at her feet. Brienne chooses the name "Oathkeeper" to honor the oath she swore to Catelyn Stark. He reasons that it is appropriate for Ned Stark's daughter to be protected with a sword forged from her father's own sword. Jaime later gives his yet-unnamed blade to Brienne to aid her in her task of rescuing Sansa. Of all the names proposed by the attendants, Joffrey chooses "Widow's Wail".

The second blade is given to Joffrey as a wedding gift at the breakfast before the wedding ceremony. What he does with the hilt afterwards is unknown. After throwing the scabbard into the fire, Tywin can be seen picking up Ice's now useless hilt from the edge of the fireplace. When Jaime asks about the source of the Valyrian steel, Tywin simply replies that "the previous owner no longer needed it." Tywin also callously burns Ice's wolf-pelt scabbard in the forge's fire, as an further gesture of spite and dishonor towards the Starks. However, due to Ice's substantial size, there's enough Valyrian steel to make two longswords.

Ice is melted down on Tywin's orders by a Volantene blacksmith brought to King's Landing to make Jaime a new sword. In a show of twisted irony, Ice is the weapon used to kill Ned and is kept in King's Landing afterward as a trophy. When Ned is accused of treason, Ilyn Payne, the King's Justice, is ordered to kill him at King Joffrey. Later, Eddard cleans the sword in the godswood at Winterfell.

He holds the sword before him as he passes the sentence. Theon Greyjoy holds the scabbard, as Eddard draws the blade. Eddard Stark uses Ice to behead Will, a deserter from the Night's Watch.
