She susses out why it has to be her to go to King's Landing (despite Bran's petulance).  It even works in her favor, when Littlefinger finds her and hides her.She acts rashly in grabbing Tyrion, but she analyzes the situation, uses honor to win over her people, and tricks anyone going to the Lannisters.  It wasn't simply strength of arms.In the books, while Tyrion is enacting his plan, Catelyn pretty much immediately understands what his plan is.  The only reason she can't stop it is because Lysa is crazy and she holds no power there.</blockquote>
