A fella falls out the door holding his guts in. Whats going on? Oh yes, Cersei's coup has kicked off. Ned has been taken and Littlefinger (ugh) has decided to side with the Lannister's. Phew.
Arya's training with Syrio Forell is about to finish abruptly. Has she learned enough to defend herself? Can he actually fight against anyone but a little girl? Yes and yes. Meryn Trant becomes the first person on Arya's list too.
Sansa is Joffrey's next target. Not for death, but for marriage. A fate worse than death. Her first scene with the Hound too.
I'd forgotten Arya makes her first kill this early. Child on child violence. Never good.
Ned's chilling in the dungeons on King's Landing. How far he's fallen. Lord Varys calling him an honorable eejit isn't helping matters.
Dead rangers have been brought back to the wall. One is missing the hand found by the Direwolf ghost. Their corpses look.......odd.
Time for a bit of Steward/Commander bonding. Jon and Ser Mormont have a pint as Jon finds out his family is crumbing and his Da has been found guilty of treason. Stress of it.
Sansa meanwhile is pleading for her Da's life. No one takes her one bit seriously cos she's an easily led sap. And she still wants Joffrey!!! good jesus.
Robb Stark has just found out the news. THIS MEANS WAR. North vs South. Robb is starting to prove his worth. Maester Luwen and Theon Greyjoy give their props.
Catelyn is still with her crazy sister and her freaky son. Catelyn wants men to fight for Ned, Lysa is having none of it. She's a melt. Catelyn's had enough.
Tyrion and Bronn are fast becoming BFF's. It's them against the world. Tyrion's charm and Bronn's skillz. Before long they're even making buds with wildlings. Shaggar is a great wildling name ain't it.
Ser Aliister Thorne of the wall is a mega bastard with a chip on his shoulder the size of Bravosi. His run in with Jon gets Jon confined to his room. Ghost smells something wrong though. The bodies from earlier. WHITE WALKERS!!!
Jesus these yokes are indestructible. Amputation? Nope. Stabbing? Nope. Oh wait, fire.
In Vaes Dothrak the Dothraki are raping and pillaging to get the resources they need to take on the world. Daenerys is ok with the pillaging but definitely not the rest. It's time to teach the Dothraki some bit of civilisation.
The saved woman brought in front of Daenerys looks grateful. Or is she? Daenerys decision is supported by Drogo. A fateful mistake on his part.
Drogo gives a dissenting voice a Colombian necktie but not before he gets wounded himself. Wounds fester fast in Vaes Dothrak. Haha what a brutally graphic scene. It's not very often you see someone's tongue ripped out of their throat.
Why would you trust a woman from a village you just attacked to give your husband a cure for a wound? Silly Daenerys.
Robb Stark is gathering men of the North to ride south to King's Landing. What a pack of hillbillies. They've no respect for him. Robb's Direwolf Grey Wind commands plenty of respect though and she's partial to treacherous fingers.
Robb says goodbye to Bran. Yet another final goodbye between siblings but neither knows that yet. Jesus this show is cruel in retrospect.
Rickon Stark. I'd forgotten he existed. The baba head on him.
Slave girl Osha is sounder than she first seemed. She'll be good to Bran. She takes no shit though. She'll be good to him in the future. She knows the horror of the north too.
Gratuitous nudity Klaxon. Hodor. Well that's terrifying.
Back at the wall, well read Sam is teaching the lore of the White Walker. Always listen to Sam folks. He'll not steer you wrong.
Catelyn and Robb reunite at the Stark war camp. A rare reunion. Catelyn still looks on her son as a boy but Sansa's predicament in the South brings her towards the idea that a war is needed.
Bunghole is a word in Westoros. Huh. A Game of Thrones/Beavis & Butthead shared universe.
Tyrion, Bronn and their new buds rock up to the Lannister camp. Time for another parent/child reunion. This one won't be all hugs and worry though. Tywin isn't half the parent Catelyn is.
Tywin is a cunt isn't he.
War is coming quicker than everyone expected. The Lannister's are stronger and more experienced but the Stark can get an advantage if they take a shortcut. A shortcut that requires the help of Walder Frey. A person they really really shouldn't be getting into bed with.
Back in King's Landing Cersei is making big changes. Ned is offically out. Tywin Lannister is now Hand Of The King. Ser Barristan Semly is out too. But they're letting him go peacefully. A big mistake. Jaime is taking his place. Varys is dreading all of this. Littlefinger (ugh) is loving it.
Sansa once again pleads for her father. Joffrey, her betrothed, shows his true colours here. He's another shit just like his grandfather. Things are not looking good for Ned Stark.
