Katniss Everdeen volunteers to die in her sister's place, and walks into a televised arena where only one child is meant to come home.
In this episode we follow the first Hunger Games book in the order Katniss lives it: reaping day in District 12, the girl on fire, Peeta's confession, the tracker jackers, Rue, the rule change, the cave and the feast. Then we reach the finale and explain it: why Katniss pulls out the nightlock berries, whether it was love or rebellion, whether she really loves Peeta, and why President Snow now wants her dead.
