2. Why Are The Brotherhood Without Banners Suddenly Murderers?

Although we haven't seen any recognisable faces, such as Beric or Thoros, the Brotherhood Without Banners have made a return in the past couple of episodes.

They were mentioned by Walder Frey last week, and he says they're helping the common folk. However, they turn up here and it's in much more antagonistic fashion. They make demands of Brother Ray, and later return (or so we're assuming) to slaughter him and the rest of the Sandor Clegane's newfound friends.

That rather goes against what the Brotherhood stands for, so have they made a more villainous turn, or is it a case that those three men weren't really part of the Brotherhood? If not, where are the real members, and what will they do when they finally turn up? (I'm still hoping for you-know-who, but they might need to be introduced before that could happen.)
