Game of Thrones Season 3 Episode 10 Synopsis

We open on the continued slaughter of the Stark soldiers and bannermen at Walder Frey's. Arya, now with a gash on her head, looks on distraught as she's held on a horse by the Hound. They survey a bit of the madness before riding off. Robb Stark's body, with Grey Wind's head replacing his is paraded about the Twins as Arya looks on in despair. Arya and The Hound ride off to safety.

Meanwhile in King's Landing as Sansa and Tyrion make their way-- with Shae close behind-- people openly titter at them and Tyrion says he's adding them to his "list." Sansa, sweetly, thinks they should get their revenge by sewing sheep poop into their beds like Arya used to do to her. Podrick arrives to tell him that a meeting of the small council has been called.

Tyrion joins Varys, Grand Maester Pycelle, Cersei, Tywin and Joffrey in the chambers. The news of Robb and Catelyn Stark's demise has reached them. Tyrion taunts Joffrey in a most dangerous way and Joffrey calls him a monster. Tyrion tells him to be careful of monsters as kings seem to be in the habit of dying. Incensed he threatens to take his tongue. Pycelle tells him he should apologize to Joffrey. Cersei tries to calm Joffrey, who keeps proclaiming he's king. Tywin points out that a man who must declare he's king isn't really one. Tywin says Joffrey will be, once Tywin wins the war for him. Joffrey lashes out at Tywin and says that it's his father who is the real warrior and that Tywin "hid" at Casterley Rock. A chill takes the room.

Tywin essentially sends Joffrey to bed without his supper and all depart except Tyrion. Tywin will appoint Roose Bolton as the warden of the north until Tyrion and Sansa's hoped for son will come of age. Tyrion says he understands Tywin's cheating, it's war after all, but to slaughter the Starks at a wedding seems low. Tywin says killing a few here, saves thousands in war. And more importantly that he will do what it takes to protect his family and its power. Tyrion says he will not rape Sansa. Tywin says he needs to put the family first. Tyrion asks when Tywin has ever done anything solely for the family that wasn't in his own interest. He then regales Tyrion with a chilling little tale about how when he was born he wanted to drown him in the sea because of his "deformity." Tyrion returns to his bedchambers and sees a tearful Sansa. She has heard the news.

JoJen, Bran, Hodor and the gang are still on the move and find an abandoned structure near the Night Fort to stay in. Bran says there are horrible stories about the place that they are staying. He tells them about a cook in the Night's Watch who hated the King so much that he killed his son and cooked him into a pie. The King liked it so much he had a second slice. The gods, allegedly, turned the cook into a big white rat who could only eat his own young. The gods apparently don't like it when you kill a guest beneath your roof.

Women are cleaning the blood off the floor at Frey's house. Roose Bolton notes that the Blackfish got away. Frey isn't worried, he's gloating at killing all the people who laughed at him. Bolton says he will move to Winterfell eventually, after it's fixed up. Roose explains about what happened to Theon. Roose had sent his bastard, Ramsay Snow to Winterfell. It was him that had put Winterfell to the torch after Theon's Iron Born turned on him.

We cut to Theon on the rack and the boy taunting him about cutting off his penis and whether he has phantom pains. He eats a big pork sausage. (The boy is apparently Bolton's bastard son Ramsay.) Theon begs Ramsay to kill him. Ramsay says he's no good to him dead. He says he's no longer a lord now and he calls him "stinking meat" and renames him "Reek" since he stinks. He beats him asking "what's your name?" until he answers "Reek."

Bran awakes in a panic and calls to Hodor. They hear a noise. A figure appears. It's Samwell and Gilly. Samwell realizes that Bran is Jon's brother, thanks to his direwolf and Hodor. He says Jon saved his life and so Bran is now his brother. They ask him to take them north of the wall and he's confused as to why they'd want to go there. He says he'll take them to Castle Black instead which is where Jon will be and it's the only safe place. Sam tells him he saw the White Walkers. JoJen says no one can stop them. Bran begs him to take them north.

A missive arrives at the Greyjoy castle in the Iron Islands. The note from Bolton asks for all of his people to be pulled from the north or they will be flayed alive as they flayed those at Winterfell. It comes with a box... with Theon's penis in it. The note says if they don't pull out of the north more parts of Theon will arrive in boxes. Balon tells his daughter that since Theon disobeyed his orders and since he can't further the Greyjoy line he won't give up the lands he seized to save him. She notes that he is his son and a Greyjoy. He says too bad and he's doing nothing. She says she's going to take the fastest ship in their fleet, take the 50 best killers, and she's going to the Dreadfort and she's going to find her little brother and bring him home.

Sam shows them the obsidian dagger that killed the White Walker. Bran gives it to Hodor. Sam says he got lucky with one and there are many more, more than you can count. He implores Bran to come with them to Castle Black. Bran wishes he could. He and the gang set off as Sam and Gilly watch.

Davos goes to visit Gendry in his cell. He consoles that he was born in Flea Bottom just like Gendry. He tries to bond with him. Davos wonders why he got with Melisandre. Gendry points out he's never been with a woman. Davos gets it. Gendry asks how Davos became a lord. He explains that he helped Stannis out of a jam and he didn't want to be a lord, but he did it for his son, so he'd have a better life. Of course, now he's dead.

Varys chats with Shae down by the water. He says she's been a good influence on Tyrion. Shae is bitter but admits she loves Sansa and would kill for her which makes it harder. Varys gives her a bag of diamonds and tells her to spirit herself away and start a new, good life far from here. She wonders why he wants her to leave. He says that Tyrion could actually lead this country well, make it a better place, and she is a complication. He's not asking her to leave for money but because her presence endangers Tyrion. She throws the diamonds back and says if Tyrion wants her to leave he can tell her himself.

Tyrion drinks with Podrick, who is having trouble keeping up. Cersei enters and orders him out. She taunts him about "enjoying married life." She claims she's not going to be railroaded into marrying Loras. She tells him to impregnate Sansa since that will make her happy. He points out that she has children and she doesn't seem very happy. She says she isn't but her children keep her from throwing herself out a window. She reminisces about how she used to spend hours looking at baby Joffrey and that he used to be jolly little fellow. She says no one can take that away from her, not even Joffrey. He asks how long does it go on? She says until they've dealt with their enemies. He points out everytime they deal with one they make two more. She says then it will go on for a long time.

The Hound and Arya ride past a group of men, one of whom claims he sawed off Robb's head. Arya comes up behind him and claims she's hungry and wants to keep warm by the fire. They tell her to go away and she says she's got money. She hands them a coin and then stabs the guy to death. The Hound takes care of the rest of them. She nicked the knife from the Hound. He asks if this is the first man she killed. She says, yes, the first. He says next time she's going to do that, tell him first. She picks up the coin and says the magic words, "valar morghulis."

Jon Snow is at a pond drinking and cleaning up and Ygritte comes up behind him with her bow and arrow drawn. He says he didn't have a choice and she knew who he was. He says he has to go home and he knows she won't hurt him. She says he knows nothing. He says he knows he loves her and she loves him but he has to go home now. He turns. She shoots him, in the back and the leg. She cries as he rides away.

Sam and Gilly arrive back at the Night's Watch and chat with the blind Maester Aemon. She announces she has named the baby Sam. Sam explains that the baby isn't his and she's one of Craster's wives. Sam says he's seen the "night gathering" and that it's coming for all of them. The maester says Gilly and baby Sam will be their guests for the time being. He asks Sam to take a letter. He also tells them to make sure all 44 ravens have been fed because everyone of them is being sent tonight.

Davos works on his reading with scrolls as Stannis' daughter pays a visit. He's reading the scrolls since he's Stannis' hand again and he needs to keep them informed. He reads the note from the Night's Watch. Suddenly the bells start ringing. He tells her to stay put and bar the door. He goes to see Stannis, who has heard the news of Robb Stark's death. Melisandre says her faith has been rewarded. Davos tells Stannis that uniting the seven kingdoms with blood and magic is wrong and evil. Stannis ignores him and notes that dragons are magic and that's how the Targaryen's won what they did and Stannis will punish them with any arms at his disposal. Davos says they don't need to burn Gendry if one drop of his blood killed Robb Stark. Melisandre says they are no closer to the throne and a great gift requires great sacrifice. Davos tries to humanize him by telling them Gendry's story and again noting that he is his nephew. Stannis says the boy must die.

Davos goes to Gendry and helps him make a jailbreak in a rowboat and tells him to aim for a certain star and to keep the coast on the left side until he reaches King's Landing-- and to not drink seawater. Davos warns him not to fall out, since he can't swim. Gendry asks him why he's doing this and Davos says because it's right and he's a slow learner.

Jon Snow arrives back at the Night's Watch, falling of his horse from the arrows. He's still alive.

Jaime Lannister and Brienne arrive at King's Landing. He is not recognized by the peasents and thus pitied by her. He surprises Cersei in the castle as she looks through memorabilia. She is relieved when she sees him but is not approaching him as he looks shamefully at his stump. He tries to get in with her but she says he's to late.

Davos confesses to letting Gendry escape. Melisandre says saving one innocent has doomed tens of thousands. He says there must be another way. Stannis can't see another way and sentences Davos to death. Davos says he's going to need him and show's him the note from the Night's Watch about the White Walkers. Melisandre reads the note and then burns it. She says this war of five of kings means nothing and the true war lies to the north and death marches towards them. Davos says Stannis will need him to raise an army. Melisandre actually agrees with him and saves him saying he has a part to play. Stannis mocks him and says Davos is part of the fire god's army now.

Dany and the Unsullied, Ser Jorah and the gang wait for the slaves of Yunkai to emerge and join them. They do. Dany addresses them and tells them that they do not owe their freedom to her and if they want it they must take it or themselves. They choose it and call out to her calling her "Mhysa" which is Ghiscari for "mother." She instructs her dragons to fly. She wades out into the crowd chanting "mother." They gently touch her and then lift her up. She smiles at them as her dragons fly overhead.

Game of Thrones Season 3 Episode 9 Synopsis

Robb lets Catelyn in on his plan to take Casterley Rock. In light of what happened when he went against her regarding Theon, he asks her advice. She tells them that it's a great risk but it's time to show the Lannisters how it feels to lose what they love.

The wedding party finally arrives at Lord Walder Frey's bridge/castle, The Twins. Robb apologizes for spurning his daughters. Frey introduces him to all of the women he turned down for becoming queen. He apologizes to the many women directly and says he's sorry that he turned them down but he fell in love with Talisa. Frey calls Talisa forward and says it's not love for Robb but beauty. He ogles her and talks about what's under her dress and says he was betrayed for firm tits and a tight fit and he can respect that. Frey says it's time to party and put this mess behind them.

Daario, Daenerys, Barristan, Jorah, and Grey Worm plot a plan to take Yunkai. Dany is clearly getting sweet on Daario. Jorah is skeptical but the others are convinced. And when she ask asks Grey Worm in the old tongue whether he trusts Daario, he says he does.

Samwell explains to Gilly that they're heading for the Night Fort, the first castle on the wall. It has a secret sally port that he hopes to be able to find. Gilly wonders how he knows all of this and he says he read it in a book. She thinks he must be a wizard if he could divine all that information from "staring at marks on paper." She says her father used to tell her that no Wildling looked upon the wall and lived but here they are, alive.

The Hound and Arya run into a hog farmer on the road on the way to the Twins. He helps the man fix his wagon, and then knocks him out. Arya asks him not to kill him, begs him and he grumpily acquiesces saying her kindness will get her killed someday. The man wakes and Arya knocks him out again. Bran, Rickon, Hodor and their crew reach a windmill in a tattered old village and wait out a storm. Hodor is freaked out by the thunder.

Jon Snow and the Wildlings raid an elderly horse breeder's house. Jon asks Ygritte to spare the breeder yet she shoots and he manages to gets away anyway.

The Hound taunts her saying the closer she gets the more frightened she becomes because she's afraid, now that she's so close she thinks she might not make it. She says she's seen fear in him too, fear around fire. He tells her to give it a shot and try to run. She says someday she's going to put a sword through his eye and out the back of his skull. She looks longingly across the river where her family is.

The wildlings arrive near the ruined windmill after chasing the breeder.

Hodor's yelling about the thunder is drawing the attention of the Wildlings outside until Bran uses his warg powers and goes inside him and causes him to pass out. The warg Orell in the Wildling party points out he heard shouting from the tower but no one seems to believe him. They capture the horse breeder. Tormund moves to kill the old man, but Orell tells him to have Jon do it instead, to prove his loyalty. Even at Ygritte's urging Jon is ultimately unable to kill the innocent man and Ygritte puts an arrow in his chest. Orell says Jon will always be a Crow and will stab him in the back he first chance he gets. The Wildlings attack him and Ygritte tries to help Jon but Tormund holds her back telling her not to die for a crow. Bran enters the minds of Summer and Shaggydog, his and Rickon's direwolves, and aides Jon, having the wolves attack the Wildlings. Jon kills Orell but not before being attacked by an eagle that Orell controlled using his warg abilities. Jon rides away leaving Ygritte behind.

When night falls, Daario, Jorah, and Grey Worm arrive at the gate. Daario enters ahead of them, posing as a still loyal Second Son commander. Shortly after being let inside the city, he signals Jorah and Grey Worm to follow him. Once inside the city, they are ambushed by a group of Yunkai's slave soldiers, and though largely outnumbered, manage to kill them. More slave soldiers come through the doors and surround Daario, Jorah, and Grey Worm.

At night, Walder walks his daughter Roslin down the aisle to her future husband Edmure Tully , who is pleasantly surprised by her beauty. Walder Frey shoots Robb a smirk. Edmure and Roslin are wed.

Bran tells JoJen he was right, he can get inside anyone or animal he wants. JoJen says not anyone can get inside another person, that Bran is special. He tells them he saw Jon and that he got away. Osha wants to go to Castle Black and doesn't want to go north of the wall. Bran says she doesn't have to come. Bran asks Osha to take Rickon to Last Hearth, the home of the Umber family, Stark bannermen who will protect them. Rickon wants to stay with Bran but Bran says if something happens to him Rickon will be the heir to Winterfell. Osha reassures a tearful Rickon and she, Rickon, and Shaggydog depart. Osha tells them to keep Bran safe, that he means the world to her.

After fighting a second wave of soldiers, the group returns to Daenerys, and tell her the attack on Yunkai was successful, and she is now in control of the city. Jorah stands proud before his Queen to inform her that the city is her's. However, Daenerys' main concern is for the well-being of Daario. Jorah's expression is one of heartbreak when he sees the look Daenerys gives the triumphant Daario.

At the wedding feast, Bolton tells Catelyn that he also married a Frey, a grand daughter. He said he could have his pick and would give him her weight in silver. Catelyn states she hopes his wife makes him happy to which he replies his wife made him rich.

Robb tells Talisa that Catelyn is starting to like her and Talisa says she feels the same but if she had her druthers she'd be back home playing her harp.

Walder calls for the bedding ceremony to begin, and Roslin is carried off by the male guests, followed closely by Edmure, who is collected by the Frey women. Talisa thinks this is a very strange custom. He says it's tradition and gives proof of consummation. She says there are other ways and touches his hand to her belly. She says she wants to name him Eddard, after Robb's father. A new Ned Stark for Robb to raise.

After they leave, Lothar Frey closes the banquet hall doors, and a musician begins playing "The Rains of Castamere," a Lannister victory song. Catelyn recognizes it and looks stricken.

Using the food cart as their reason for being at the Twins, the Hound and Arya arrive at the wedding shortly after the bedding has begun, and are turned away at the gates. Soldiers begin running through the gates and Arya looks nervous. When the Hound moves to turn the cart around, he notices Arya has fled.

Catelyn draws back Roose Bolton's sleeve to reveal that he's cloaked in chainmail underneath his wedding attire. She stands and slaps him and calls to Robb.

Walder rises to make a toast to Robb, and signals his men to attack. Lothar draws a knife and repeatedly stabs the pregnant Talisa in the stomach, killing her and her unborn child inside of her. Before he can react, Robb is shot by the musicians with crossbows several times and falls to the ground. The soldiers attack all in the Stark party. Frey has a drink and very much enjoys watching the slaughter.

Arya, having snuck past the gate guards, witnesses Frey men kill Stark soldiers and Grey Wind, Robb's direwolf. She is saved by the Hound, who knocks her unconscious before carrying her out of the castle.

Catelyn, having been wounded by a crossbow bolt, holds a knife to the throat of Walder's young wife, demanding that Robb be allowed to leave. Walder says he'll find another wife, and takes another drink as Bolton betrays Robb, saying "the Lannisters send their regards" and stabbing him in the heart as he falls and dies next to Talisa. Catelyn cries out in anguish and cuts the throat of Walder Frey's young wife. She stands there, catatonic for a few moments as another Frey cuts her throat. She falls to floor, dead. Cut to black.

Game of Thrones Season 3 Episode 8 Synopsis

Arya is about to do in a sleeping Hound with a rock but he's not sleeping and says "kill me and you're free but if I live I'll break both your hands." They mount up again and he tells her how he saved Sansa from rape and says that if she doesnt believe him, she can ask Sansa herself if she ever gets to see her sister again. As they ride, they come across a body of water. Arya asks him if thats the Black Water since she thinks he is taking her back to Kings Landing. But the Hound says No, f#*k Joffrey and f#*k the Queen. Hes taking her to the Twins because that is where her mother and brother will be and he believes that they'll pay him for her return. He tells her to quit trying to kill him because he's taking her to back to her family.

The Khaleesi and her men observe the sell swords arriving at Yunkai. They are the Second Sons, she orders her Grey Worm to send a man to see if they would rather fight for the winning side. The three leaders of the Second Sons meet with them in the Khaleesi's tent. The leader taunts her like she's a whore but Dario, seems more reasonable and intelligent, noting that they have 8,000 Unsullied not 10,000. She tells the older guy to give her the Second Sons and she won't geld him,noting she has 8 thousand Unsullied and they only have 2 thousand Second Sons. They say they can't break their bond or they won't get another contract. She says they'll never need to have another contract if they work for her. She says she has as army and dragons. The Leader of the Second Sons tells Khaleesi that he will make her his whore. She gives them two days to decide. She tells Barristan if it comes to battle, to kill that guy first.

Gendry and Melisandre arrive back at Dragonstone, she introduces him to Stannis. He gives him the onceover and determines he's half-Robert and half-lowborn. They spirit him away to chambers and a bath. Stannis wonders what she means to do with him. She says he knows what she is going to do (implying that she will sacrifice him since there is power in the Kings blood). He then asks her, if you are going to kill him, then why bother bathing and clothing him. She likens it to slaughtering a lamb and making sure the panic doesn't seep into the meat and "foul the flavor." Davos has made great progress in his reading. He's up to a picture book about the Targaryens. Stannis comes to visit. He says Davos doesn't belong in a place like this and apologizes for the loss of his son, a good and loyal lad. He gives him the news of Melisandre and Gendry and the upcoming sacrifice. Davos points out the boy is Stannis' nephew. He says they're at war and what of it. He notes Gendry has his blood. Stannis notes that Renly did too. Davos points out that Renly wronged him. Stannis protests that this is his destiny and he must do his duty and what's one bastard boy against a kingdom? Davos asks why he came to see him. He says he'll free him if never again raises a hand to Melisandre. Davos says he won't but he will think it and he thinks Stannis freed him at this moment to help protect the boy. He also says he thinks men make up Gods to protect their children. Stannis says that Melisandre showed him a vision of the future in a fire. He also knows that Davos witnessed her power too when she gave birth to smoke demon and asks him that once you've seen her power, how can you deny Melisandre's god is real?

The Second Sons debate working for Khaleesi. They think they can slip past the Unsullied and simply kill her. They choose coins as to who will do the deed. Daario draws the coin that means he must kill Daenerys .

Sansa is in her dressing room when Tyrion arrives. It is their wedding day. He asks Podrick and Shae to give them a moment alone. He explains that he didn't ask for this. He says she no longer needs to be a prisoner since she'll be his wife, a different kind of prison. He very sweetly tries to explain that they're both feeling weird about this but he promises that he won't ever hurt her. He asks if she drinks wine, she says when she has to. He says today she has to.

Margaery tries to befriend Cersei, saying that they will be sisters soon. Cersei tells her a tale about ambitious climbers that came before her and how they clashed with Tywin and were slaughtered, the entire house. Cersei talks about their bodies hanging and rotting above Casterly Rock. Cersei tells Margaery if she ever calls her sister again she will have her strangled in her sleep.

Sansa takes the long walk down the aisle when Joffrey walks up beside her to escort her to the front where she will give her wedding vows. Joffrey tells her that since he is the King, he is technically The Father of the Realm, and it is his job to give the bride away. Bronn smiles at her in the crowd. Margaery gives her an encouraging glance. Joffrey then takes away Tyrion's step-stool as a mean gesture so Tyrion can't properly "cloak" her as part of the ceremony. There are a few titters which Tywin immediately squashes. The priest gets down to business.

Gendry wanders around his room and Melisandre comes in to fatten him up so to speak. They talk about how shocking coming into contact with real wealth. She was poor too. She gives him a drink. He's worried she's trying to poison him so she drinks it first. He has a drink and says it's good. She talks about how he still doesn't trust her and she wins him over and drinks more herself. She starts talking about how he has power inside of him that he doesn't understand and that she is here to birth it into the world. She starts taking off his clothes which he points out doesn't seem very religious. To who? She asks. She disrobes. She says death is coming for everyone and everything and that the two of them can stop it. She takes him to bed and mounts him and says let me show you what you have inside of you. And then she slips him inside of her. She ties up his hands and feet and drops leeches on him. He freaks out and she says not to worry that they won't take much. He asks what she's doing and she says there's power in king's blood. She puts a leech on his penis. She then picks them off as Stannis and Davros enter. Stannis drops them in the fire and says the names of Robb Stark, Joffrey Baratheon, and Bailon Greyjoy.

Tyrion gets drunk at the reception. Olenna explains to Loras how they will all be related to Cersei, Joffrey, Tyrion and Sansa as step-siblings, aunts and nieces and brothers and in-laws once all the weddings are done. Sansa excuses herself from the drunken Tyrion. He looks woefully at Shae. Tywin comes over and reminds him that he needs to have a child soon and he can't be drunk and perform. Tyrion says no man can match him in drinking and lust. Tywin firmly reminds him of his duty. Tyrion raises a glass to an equally woeful looking Loras on the balcony. Loras goes to chat with Cersei. She makes it clear she cares not for what he might have to say.

Joffrey meets Sansa on her walk and he taunts her about her dream come true to have a Lannister baby. He says maybe he'll pay a visit to her that night after her uncle passes out, whether she likes it or not. Joffrey drags her back in and says it's time for the "bedding" ceremony, in which the newlyweds are dragged to their wedding bed. Tyrion pushes back and threatens to cut off Joffrey's manhood. Joffery is enraged. Tywin steps in and Tyrion makes a joke out of it to save his skin. He stumbles around and grabs Sansa and talks about the time he threw up on a girl in the middle of the act and he will tell her all about it to put her in the mood. Once they get to their room he stumbles to the table and has another drink and tells her to call him Tyrion. He regards her neck as astoundingly long. He asks how old she is. 14 She says. He tells her he has been commanded to consummate the marriage. She has a big drink of her own. She heads to the bed and starts to take off her dress. He watches, apprehensively. He stops her and says he can't. He clarifies that he can but that he won't. She asks after Tywin. He says if Tywin wants to get effed he knows where he can start. Tyrion says he won't share her bed until she wants him too. She asks what if she never wants him to? He raises his glass and says "and so my watch begins." He stumbles over and passes out on a chaise.

Dario of the Second Sons, slips into Khaleesi's camp. She is being bathed by her handmaiden, who it turns out knows 19 languages, reasonably well. Dario grabs her girl and puts a knife to her neck. She asks what he wants. He says her. She notes he was sent there to kill her but he says he doesn't want to and drops the heads of his cohorts in the Second Sons. He says her beauty meant more to him than it did to his buddies. He says he only does what he wants. She asks why she should trust a man who murdered his comrades. He notes he was told to murder her, he disagreed, they fought, he won. She stands up naked out of the bath and asks if he'll fight for her and asks him to swear to her. He says the Second Sons are hers as well as his heart.

Shae arrives the next morning to feed Sansa and Tyrion. She slams things around and is rude to him. Shae sees that they did not sleep together --no blood on the sheets-- and is pleased.

Sam and Gilly continue their long walk through the woods and come upon a shelter. He says they should stay for the night. He coos at the baby. Ravens seem to be gathering on a nearby Hearth tree that has a face on it. He can't build a fire. She says they can keep each other warm under the furs. Sam claims the baby winked at him. She says he probably blinked. He asks if she's thought of a name. She goes to build the fire. He goes through a list of boy's names. He explains the difference between birth names and surnames. She asks if his father was cruel like hers. He says a different manner of cruel. The birds start squawking very loudly outside. Sam goes to check on the ruckus. She tells him not to go out. He takes a torch and sword to go look. There are hundreds of crows in the trees screeching. He tells her to go back inside. The birds stop screeching. They see a figure, a White Walker. She says it has come for the baby. Sam holds his sword to it. The White Walker destroys the sword and throws Sam to the ground. The Walker keeps going for the baby, Sam stabs him in the back with the dragon glass dagger he found. The White Walker turns to ice and shatters to the ground. They run off being followed by the ravens.

Game of Thrones Season 3 Episode 7 Synopsis

Everybody is on the move tonight. The Wildlings have scaled the wall and are now on their way to Castle Black.

Robb Stark is going to be a daddy! This is headline from the front lines as rain delays their march to marry Edmure off to one of Walder Frey's daughters, he and Talisa make like bunnies. When they are done she begins writing a letter to her mum in Valyrian. Robb promises one day he will go with her to meet her mother, who will likely be surprised she's a queen. Talisa says there are many surprises in store and drops the bomb that she's pregnant. Robb is thrilled and professes his love for her and they get it on again.

Although Orell is skeptical of Jon Snow's allegiances and perhaps even lineage, it seems he also carries a torch for Ygritte. When he professes his love for her and points out that Jon Snow's beauty won't matter when she knows what he is, she doesn't budge.

Sansa complains to Margaery about having to marry Tyrion. Margarey notes that he's not the worst Lannister, reminding Sansa that she herself have to marry Joffrey. Touché. She points out all the possible political advantages to Sansa as well, bearing a Lannister child. Which makes Sansa finally realize she's going to have to mate with Tyrion. Margaery says not to worry about it, especially since she's heard that Tyrion is quite experienced. Sansa is confused by how Margaery learned all about how it can be difficult to please women in bed and how some men are better than others. She asks if her mother taught her. Margaery suppresses a laugh at her innocent friend and agrees that yes, her mother taught her.

Tyrion drinks with Bronn and worries about how angry Shae is going to be about his marriage to Sansa. Bronn suggests Tyrion weds Sansa and keep Shae as well. Bronn gives him a hard time saying he wants Sansa he just doesn't want to admit it.

Tywin is summoned to the throne room by Joffrey. Apparently, the king is mad that no one has been counseling him on what's happening in the small council meetings... which he hasn't attended. He's worried about Dany's dragons. Tywin points out that he could attend these meetings if he wanted to and that Dany's dragons are curiosities on the far side of the world that need not be worried about according to their experts. He promise to keep Joffrey in the loop and departs with a smirk.

Khaleesi and the gang reach Yunkai, a large, prosperous city. Jorah notes there is a no need to engage them in battle. When Dany asks how many slaves are in the city and he replies 200,000, she retorts that there are 200,000 reasons to defeat Yunkai then. She summons one of the slave masters. He offers her gold and ships to leave them alone. She offers him his life. He is confused. She says if the masters of Yunkai don't release every man, woman, and child slave and give them enough clothing and property, she, the Unsullied, and her dragons will make sure they regret it, just like the people of Astapor did. He calls her mad and says they have powerful friends and when they defeat her they will just re-enslave the people and maybe make her a slave too. At this the dragons squawk menacingly. The man departs with Khaleesi's message and without his gold. Jorah says they won't bend, and she says they will break then and asks Jorah to find out who these powerful friends are.

Tyrion attempts to bribe Shae with a large gold necklace to distract her from his wedding to Sansa. When Shae shows her anger, He promises her a house, money, and guards and professes his love. But she says she is just his whore and when Tyrion tires of her he will discard her.

Melisandre and Gendry sail towards King's Landing through the wreckage of Stannis' ships in Blackwater Bay. She asks Gendry if he didn't wonder where he came from? She confesses she was a slave, branded and bound but saved by The Lord of Light. She finally tells him Robert was his father. He gulps.

Arya stews with the Brotherhood Without Banners whom she calls traitors. When they hear a Lannister party is a day's ride away they decide to "lion-hunting." When Arya realizes this will take them off the path of delivering her to Robb she is incensed and takes off running through the woods...only to be intercepted by the Hound.

Brienne stews in her cell. Jaime arrives to inform her that he is leaving the next day to continue the push to King's Landing.. He also knows that Bolton is riding the next day as well, to go the Edmure/Frey wedding. He tells her, sadly, that she will stay there with Locke, the sadistic handslayer. He says he owes her a debt and the Lannister's always pay their debts. She tells him to keep his word to Catelyn Stark and get Sansa and Arya free and he can consider the debt paid. He swears he will return the Stark girls to Catelyn. She says goodbye. He turns, choked up, and leaves. As they mount up to ride in their different directions, Bolton reminds Jaime to smooth things over with Tywin. Jaime sends regards to Edmure's wedding. Locke taunts him and says they'll take good care of Brienne.

Theon is taunted by two comely young women, who pretend to salve his wounds and offer him sexual release only for the sadistic boy to return and cut off his penis.

Jon Snow and Ygritte are flirting and playing around until Ygritte mentions taking back their rightful land from Winterfell. Jon melts down pointing out that every time the Wildlings have attacked through the centuries they have failed, she doesn't care saying this time will be different because Mance Rayder is different. He says that the better equipped and trained armies of the cities will kill "all of you." She corrects him saying "all of us," now that they have pledged themselves to each other. She says they may all die, but for now they need to get busy living. He agrees and they make out.

Osha, Bran and the gang continue to bicker with one another as Osha doesn't like it that she and Hodor do all the work whiel JoJen fills Bran's head with visionary talk. She especially doesn't care for it when JoJen informs her they are no longer going to Castle Black but north towards the wall. She says she swore to Bran's maester that she'd get him to Castle Black and Robb and no further and that they really shouldn't change course. She admits that when she was younger she had a man. He left her and returned as a White Walker and she was forced to kill him. Bran thinks maybe he was pushed off the tower for a reason and that the gods have plans for him and that if JoJen and his raven visions say he should reunite with Jon Snow, maybe that's what they should do.

A little ways into their ride on a break the maester looks at Jaime's stump, salves and bandages it. Jaime learns that he was stripped of his maester chain because he's a curious doctor. He said that the only way to figure out illnesses is to look at them and Jaime deduces correctly that he performed experiments on living men, dying paupers. The maester points out that Jaime has killed a countless number of people and wonders how many he's saved. Jaime says half a million: the population of King's Landing.

The maester tells him that Bolton turned down an offer of gold from Brienne's father. Because of Jaime's lie that Brienne's father presided over untold sapphire mines, Locke thought that he was cheaping out and will likely not value her enough to leave her unspoiled. Alarmed by what this means Jaime insists that they go back.

When they return Brienne is in a pit, fighting off a bear with a wooden sword for the amusement of Locke and the rest of Bolton's men. Jaime jumps in the pit with her knowing it wlll force them to save her since they swore to Bolton they would get him back to Tywin Lannister. They are both pulled up and out of the pit in the nick of time and Jaime informs Locke he will be taking Brienne with him.

Game of Thrones Season 3 Episode 6 Synopsis

Samwell and Gilly are deep in the woods huddled around a fire. He shows her an ancient dagger he found during the Fist of the First Men. He says it's just a few more days walk to the wall and it's even bigger than they say, 700 feet high. He notes Castle Black is nice enough with a 24/7 fire and a tasty venison stew and that the brothers sing. Not him, of course. She asks him to sing him a song. He sings a lullaby about The Father's face.

Elsewhere, also in a forest, Osha and Meera get snippy with each other about the proper way to skin a rabbit. Bran asks them to stop fighting, saying they have to stay united in order to make it to the wall. He asks them to make peace and grudgingly they do. Meanwhile, JoJen is having some kind of seizure and Meera puts a belt in his mouth. She says the visions take their toll and he's having one now. He awakes and says he saw Jon Snow on the wrong side of the wall surrounded by enemies.

Jon Snow continues on with Mance Rayder's men. They are about to attempt to mount the wall. Ygritte and Jon survey the wall. They're both afraid of climbing it but she says she can't wait to see the world from up there. They attach rudimentary crampons to their shoes. She again compliments his fine tongue work and calls him a proper lover and she says his secret is safe with her. He asks what secret. She says she's no dummy and knows that he didn't stop being a Crow the minute he walked in to Mance Rayder's tent. She knows he's loyal and asks that he be loyal to her since she's his woman now. She says they are simply expendable soldiers in their respective armies and it's him and her that matters. She tells him never to betray her. He says he won't. She points out that she'll cut off his man parts if he does. Tormund tells him to sink his pickaxe deep into the wall and to not scream if he falls because Jon Snow wouldn't want that to be the last thing Ygritte remembers. Jon looks despairingly at the wall.

Arya takes target practice and Anguy gives her tips. A group on horseback approaches. It is Melisandre and her entourage. She speaks in a foreign tongue (High Valyrian) to BWB general Thoros. She asked why he was unable to get King Robert to follow the Lord of the Light. He says simply that he failed. She counters that he quit. They switch from High Valyrian to English and she asks why they are there.

He brings her to see Beric Dondarrion. She appraises his many wounds and asks how often he's been brought back. Thoros says 6. She can't believe it. He says he can't really believe it either since his faith was shaken and he ate and whored his way across the land, all he did is ask for the Lord of Light to bring him back and he does. He didn't really believe but when Dondarrion died the first time he asked for his friend and the Lord brought him back. He said he knew then that their God was the one true God. Melisandre again turns to Beric and asks about the "other side." He says there is no other side, only darkness. He asks why she's been sent. She says they have something the Lord of Light needs.

Gendry, Arya and another brother look at arrow tips that pierce armor. Melisandre approaches and two of her men apprehend Gendry. Arya begs them to stop them and that Gendry wants to be one of them. Thoros says the Lord of Light needs him. Arya says they're doing it for gold not a god. Thoros points out that they require gold to continue on. Gendry himself protests that they're not much of a brotherhood. Melisandre tells him Gendry is more than they could ever be. (Of course he doesn't know he's Robert Baratheon's son.) Arya again approaches her and calls her a witch and says she's going to hurt him. Melisandre grabs her face and says she sees a darkness in her as well as sets of eyes -- blue and green-- that Arya will shut forever. She says they will meet again and then carts off Gendry to Arya's heartbreak.

The wildlings climb the windswept wall. Jon Snow makes the mistake of looking down. But then he stares at Ygritte's butt for inspiration. A chunk falls on him and knocks him back but he hangs on.

The boy (whose name we still don't know) wakes the trussed up Theon, further torturing him by keeping him awake. He begs for water and the boy pours some out in front of him, cruelly. Theon begs for mercy and says he'll tell him everything. The boy says he's heard it all. He tells him he knows that the Stark boys are still alive and that he will find them. He says he knows Theon wonders why he's there, where he is, and why he's doing it this to him. He tells Theon if he can guess he won't cut off his little finger. He asks if he wins if he'll let him go. The boy says there is no good ending. He asks him where he is and Theon takes a few guesses and the boy cuts into the flesh of his pinky finger. He finally guesses right, according to the boy. He then asks who he is. Theon guesses he's a Karstark, younger brother of the one who Jaime killed and son of the Karstark man who was beheaded by Robb. Theon says he was Robb's bannerman, Theon betrayed Robb, and that's why this young Karstark is torturing him. The young man says he wins. However, he says Theon forgot to ask if he was a liar and he flays the skin off Theon's little finger. He says everything he told him is a lie and this isn't happening for a reason -- he's just doing it because he enjoys it. Finally, Theon begs him to cut the finger off and the young man turns to Theon and says "I win".

The Freys come to meet with Robb. They say their father said the alliance can continue on several contingencies: an apology for Robb jilting his daughter, Harrenhal when the war is over, and Robb's Uncle Edmure marrying one of his daughters and a wedding in a fortnight. Their father is old and he says a wedding would give him peace and he wants an answer by the morning. Robb says they'll discuss it. His Uncle isn't up for it and wants to choose a pretty wife but Robb says he has no choice, he's won every battle but he's losing the war and they need to do this now. He says he knows he's paying for his sins and it's not fair or right and he won't forget it.

Jaime and Brienne meet with Roose Bolton. Jaime struggles to cut his meat until Brienne helps him. Bolton is considering selling Jaime or killing him. He says to Jaime that when he is well enough to travel he will allow him to continue to King's Landing as restitution for the loss of his hand, as long as he swears to tell his father he played no part in Locke maiming him. Jaime wants to drink on it but Roose doesn't drink. Jaime is happy about this until Roose tells him Brienne isn't going with him since she abetted treason. Jaime protests but Roose points out he's in no position to overplay his position again

Tywin and Olenna talk about his plan to marry Cersei to Loras. She protests Cersei is too old and "the change" will be upon her soon. He points out that he knows that Loras is a degenerate and she admits Loras is a "sword swallower". He says she should be grateful to have her grandson marry Cersei and remove the stain from his name. She calls it a natural thing. He thinks her tolerance for buggery is higher than his. She notes that brothers having sex with sisters would be a higher form of a stain, i.e. Cersei and Jaime. He calls it a malicious lie and he doesn't care what people believe and neither does she. She disagrees. He points out if the rumors are true then Joffrey isn't the king and Margaery marrying him is the Tyrells throwing their "prize flower" in the dirt. She counters if Cersei is too old to give Loras children then they are throwing another prize flower in the dirt. He notes that the uncertainty makes her uncomfortable. Tywin says he'll remove it: If Loras doesn't marry Cersei he will make him part of the King's Guard and he'll never marry and have children, so the Tyrell name will die with him. She can't believe he'd have his grandson protected by someone who disgusts him. He says he would have his grandson protected by a great warrior. He pulls out a quill and asks if she consents to the order adding Loras to the Kingsguard. She reaches out and takes the quill from Tywin's hand, observing that it is a rare thing to encounter a man who lives up to his reputation. She breaks the quill in half.

The wildlings are climbing the wall when a crack begins to spread across it, creating a landslide sending several people flying -- including Ygritte and Jon Snow, who are weighing down Tormund and Orell. Orell cuts them loose but Jon Snow gets purchase before Ygritte falls and he pulls her up. They start climbing again.

Sansa chats with Loras about their potential marriage. She compliments his brooch. She says she's very happy. Loras says he is too and says he's dreamed of a large wedding since he was young. He calls her very beautiful and talks excitedly about the dress she'll wear. She says she can't wait to see Highgarden and leave this place. He agrees it is terrible.

Tyrion and Cersei watch this. Tyrion says there's nothing they can do about it. Cersei notes they could have them both killed. Tyrion wonders who is getting the worst end of the deal, deciding Sansa but that Loras will also know misery. She says they're all being shipped off to hell together. He notes she built the boat. She says she did what she did for the family. Tyrion says he's family too and he helped save them. She admits he was helpful in the war. He says it was weird that she ordered him killed then. She doesn't deny it, but her silent expression seems to confirm to Tyrion that it was in fact Joffrey who ordered his execution. He asks if his life is still in danger. She says probably, not right now with Lord Tywin in the picture. He can't believe 7 kingdoms quiver in fear of Tywin Lannister. She notes the Tyrell's don't fear him and history will be taken from their hands. Tyrion says she'll be fine when Jaime gets back since Loras will probably suffer a case of swords through bowels. Cersei wonders who will tell Sansa.

Shae helps Sansa with her dress for the Tyrell wedding. Tyrion enters and asks Shae to leave. She stands her ground. He notes "this is awkward...'

Littlefinger sits and gazes at the throne and Varys enters. They do their dance. Varys says thwarting him wasn't always his plan and he didn't take that much pleasure in it but admits "who doesn't like to see their friends fail now and then." Littlefinger agrees and says it gave him pleasure when he turned over his "bad investment"-- whom Varys swore to protect-- to a "friend" looking for a fresh experience. He and Varys agree they've been telling themselves stories/lies for years to protect themselves. But Varys says when they abandon the lies there is only a pit of chaos. Littlefinger says chaos is a ladder and that life is all about the climb.

As he speaks we cut to Joffrey's chambers. Littlefinger gave his "bad investment" Ros to Joffrey who used his new crossbow for target practice. We then cut to Sansa, Shae by her side, tearfully watching Littlefnger's ship depart, knowing now that she must marry Tyrion. And then we cut to Jon Snow and Ygritte reaching the top of the wall, exhausted. They lie on their backs and Jon sees Orell's eagle fly across the sky as the sun breaks through. They both gaze at the amazing view of where they just came from. He helps her up. And they look at the view of where they are going. They kiss.

Game of Thrones Season 3 Episode 5 Synopsis

The Brotherhood Without Banners pray to the Lord of Light around the fire as the Hound and the Brotherhood leader prepare to fight. Their leader, Beric Dondarrion, cuts his hand and then lights his sword afire. The Hound -- and Arya and Gendry-- are surprised by this. They fight around the fire as the others watch, getting out of the way as necessary. The Hound prevails. They pray to the lord of light to bring him back to life. Arya grabs a sword to kill Hound herself. Gendry pulls her back. She yells at him to burn in hell. Beric, now seemingly upright and fine says he will, but not today.

At the Wildlings camp they quiz Jon Snow about the patrol of the Night's Watch. He explains which castles are inhabited that are related to the wall: Castle Black, Eastwatch by the Sea, and Shadow Tower. The guy questioning him asks how many there are guarding and Jon says a thousand. They think he's lying. Ygritte jumps to his protection. Jon says he doesn't need her protection. She disagrees and then steals his sword and makes him chase her. They run into a cave with an indoor waterfall. She says it's time he proved himself that he isn't a Crow anymore and he has to break his vows to prove it. She takes off all of her clothes and stands before him naked. He says they shouldn't. She says they should and kisses him. He doesn't resist for long. She taunts him and says he knows nothing but then he goes down on her and she realizes he does know a thing or two.They make love. She asks who taught him that particular maneuver. He says there's been no one else, he just wanted to kiss her there. He admits he was a virgin. She was not. She said it was just a boy, who had red hair like her, kissed by fire. He was weak, not like Jon Snow. Then she launches into a laundry list and he cuts her off saying he's heard enough. He wants to to back but she decides he needs a bath first. She says she doesn't want to leave the cave ever and make love in the bathwater.

The Brotherhood let the Hound go against Arya's wishes saying their God doesn't see him as guilty but that the Lord of Light isn't done with him yet. The Hound leaves.

The men who captured Jaime and Brienne bring them to Lord Bolton. Lord Bolton isn't impressed with the cutting off of Jaime's hand and tells the captor to hold his tongue or to lose it. He tells them to cut Brienne free and that she is now under his care. She thanks him. Jaime asks Lord Bolton for news. He replies that Stannis Baratheon laid siege to King's Landing but Tywin and his army prevailed and Cersei is alive and well. Bolton sends him to the doctor. The doctor doesn't like the look of the festering stump and wants to amputate the whole arm. Jaime isn't having that and the doctor relents saying he will only cut away the rotted flesh and try to sear the rest of it clean with boiling wine. He wants to offer Jaime painkillers but since this guy seems kinda creepy and not really a doctor Jaime declines saying he'll just scream through the pain instead thanks. He does just that.

Cersei approaches Littlefinger and says she's heard that the House Tyrell doesn't have the Lannister's best interest at heart. She essentially threatens him into looking into it before he leaves the capitol. He agrees.

Tyrion meets with Lady Olenna to talk wedding plans, and how expensive they're becoming. He tries to explain since they are at war they need money. She notes exactly how much House Tyrell has contributed to the effort from men to sheep to food. She says the people are hungry for more than food and that they need distractions or else they'll tear the royals to pieces and that a royal wedding, paid for by the royal family, is just the distraction necessary, and a much safer one. She also admits disappointment that Tyrion did not live up to his reputation as an impertinent, debauched boozer and that he is merely a browbeaten bookkeeper. This hurts the most, clearly. She concedes to pay for half the expenses. He says that's sufficient and she leaves.

Gendry mends Lord Beric's armor. He says he's going to stay on with the Brotherhood. She says he doesn't have to. He says he wants to and that they need good men. She says Robb needs good men too. He says he's tired of serving and even though Beric is a leader they chose him and these men are a family and he's never had one. Arya says tearfully that she can be his family.

The young Lannisters that Robb Stark is holding hostage as bargaining chips wake up to the sound of fighting. Lord Karstark and his men enter the room and kill the boys in revenge for the deaths of his sons. They are laid out before Robb who is incensed. He can't believe five grown men killed two unarmed children. He calls it treasonous. Lord Karstark, whose sons were killed on the battlefield for which he blames the Lannisters and Catelyn Stark for freeing Jaime, taunts Robb saying you kill your enemies in battle but his father must not have taught him that. He mocks Robb's title of King in the North, calling him rather "the King who lost the North". He also says he'll probably only get a scolding. Robb orders him put in the dungeon and the other four hung. One man protests he only watched and Robb says to hang him last so he can watch. Talisa is aghast, Catelyn palefaced.

Robb's uncle Edmure says they should keep this under wraps. Robb protests that he doesn't want to be a liar in his fight for justice. Catelyn points out that if they kill the men publicly the Karstarks will not take kindly to this and likely won't fight for them. Talisa agrees they will abandon him. They need Karstark men. Edmure notes that they wouldn't be lying, just burying the truth for the moment along with the bodies involved and using Lord Karstark as a hostage: he will not be harmed as long as his men fight for Robb. But Robb rejects their counsel and condemns the lord to death. Asked if he has any final words Lord Karstark says "kill me and be cursed, you are no king of mine." Robb beheads the condemned man himself, as his father had taught him.

Arya stares into the fire and says the names of those she wants dead. She asks Thoros what they're going to do with her. He says at first light they'll head to Riverrun where Robb is. Robb will make a contribution to their cause and then she can go home. She says they're selling her. He tells her not to think about it that way. Beric asks Arya if she's afraid of him. She says no but does mention that she thought he was dead. He says the Lord of the Light, and his right hand man, bring him back. He's been killed five times and each time, his buddy said he words and brought him back. He shows the scars. He says it's getting harder. Every time he comes back "he's a bit less." She asks if they could bring back a man without a head, not six times, just once. They say no. They tell her that her father was a good man and that he's at rest somewhere now and that they wouldn't wish this life upon him. Arya says she would since Beric is alive.

A woman stands around a fire and prays to the Lord of the Light. It is Stannis' wife. She says she's been filled in on the details by Melisandre. She says he will prevail and he's a good man. He tries to explain that he has sinned and shamed her. She says he is doing God's work. He tries to tell her that he slept with Melisandre. She says she knows, Melisandre told her and points out that any act committed in the name of the Lord of the Light cannot be considered a sin. She goes over to three creepy containers that apparently contain the three male babies she gave birth to that all died in some kind of yellowish liquid. She says she thanks the Lord for Melisandre coming into their life since she gave Stannis a son, something that she gave him nothing. He says that's not true. She realizes that Stannis has come to see his daughter. She says there is no need and that he should keep away from such distractions. He says he wants to see her. She notes he's the king and doesn't need permission. He heads to her room. She's singing in the corner. She runs to him and hugs him. We see that one side of her face is fine but the other side is either burned or deformed in some way. She asks about Davos the Onion Knight, who had promised to come back from the battle with a gift for her. and shows her father a sailing ship Davos carved for her. Stannis says Davos is a traitor and rotting in a cell for his crimes and that she had best forget him. He leaves. She is sad.

Brienne is giving herself a full on Silkwood scrub in the bath when Jaime arrives to take a bath of his own. A squire helps him take his clothes off. His arm is wrapped. He joins Brienne in the tub even though she points out that there's another one. She covers herself but he tells her he's not interested. He does ask her to pull him out if he faints so he won't be the first Lannister to die in a bathtub. She says she doesn't care how he dies. He notes she swore a vow to deliver him to King's Landing in one piece. He points out it's not going so well. And, he notes, no wonder Renly died with her guarding him. She stands up to her full height in all her naked glory taking serious umbrage at that remark. He apologizes and admits that was an unworthy remark. He says he's sick of fighting and wants to call a truce. She said you need trust for a truce. He says he trusts her.

She gives him a nasty look and he says he's been seeing it for 17 years from those who despise the kingslayer, the man without honor. He asks if she's heard of wildfire and notes that the mad King was obsessed with it, loving to watch people burn and he burned anyone who was against him and before long half the country was against him. So the mad king had his pyromancer stash loads of wildfire all throughout the city to protect himself.

He explains that the day of reckoning came and Robert Baratheon marched on the city. The Lannister's had sworn to protect the king against the rebels but Tywin Lannister didn't like being on the losing side. Jaime says he asked the mad king to surrender peacefully but he wouldn't listen to Jaime or anyone but Grand Maester Pycelle who said "you can trust the Lannisters, who are true friends of the crown." So the mad king opened the gates and Tywin sacked the city. Jaime begged the mad king to surrender. But the mad king told Jaime to bring Tywin's head to him. And then the mad king told his pyromancer to unleash hell: to light all the wildfire and burn them all, in their homes, in their beds. He asks Brienne if her precious Renly commanded her to kill her own father and then stand by as he burned thousands of men, women, and children alive would she have kept her oath then? So he killed the pyromancer and when the king turned to flee he put his sword through his back and he kept saying "burn them all."Jaime says he doesn't think the king expected to die but to burn with everyone else and rise from the fire as a dragon and turn his enemies to ash. "I slit his throat to make sure that didn't happen." That's where Ned Stark found him. Brienne asks why he didn't tell Lord Stark. Jaime says "do you think he wanted to hear my side? He judged me guilty the moment he laid eyes on me." He asks by what right the wolf judges the lion? He is very agitated and woozy and begins to faint. Brienne catches him and calls out "the Kingslayer!" And he replies. "Jaime, my name is Jaime."

Stannis' daughter goes to visit Davos. He tries to send her back to her room. He admits that he's a traitor and he disobeyed the king and will serve his time. She says she doesn't care, he's her friend and she's brought him a book. He says he can't read. She wants to teach him. He says she can't. She wonders what they'll do to them, put them in cells? He laughs. She beings to teach him to read.

Danaerys, Ser Jorah, and Barristan lead the Unsullied through some fields on their march. Jorah talks about the time he was knighted. Barristan notes he spent most of his good years have been wasted serving for mad or drunk kings and for once he'd like to serve for someone who is worthy. He asks if Jorah believes in Dany. He says he does with all his heart.

Dany addresses the Unsullied and asks if they've picked some leaders pointing out that they are free men now and need to make choices. When the leader presents himself and tells her that his name is Grey Worm-- they were all given new names to remind them that they are vermin-- she also tells them to pick new names, names that will give them pride. Grey Worm points out that he wants to keep his name because it gives him pride because the name he was born with cursed him to a life of slavery but his slave name was the one he had when Dany set him free. (Good point, Grey Worm!) She's touched by this.

Jorah and Barristan talk about politics. Barristan says he never advised Robert on the small council even though he was commander of the Kingsguard because he had served the mad king, who wouldn't listen to him about the Targaryens. Jorah says he doesn't think he'd care for politics either. He says she'll have to wade through that muck anyway. But Barristan says she'll have good men around her and says that Jorah can't help her since her his reputation has suffered in the capital. He points out that if he is truly her loyal servant he'll do what's right when the time comes and leave her side if necessary. Jorah points out that Barristan isn't Lord Commander here, he's just another exile and Jorah takes his commands from the queen.

Robb Stark is surveying the lay of the land regarding the war and is very frustrated. A large group of his men have deserted him and without them he can't really bring the war to the Lannister's. They're basically waiting him out, not chasing him. Talisa tries to help but doesn't really understand the pieces on the board and what they represent. (They're like big chess pieces.) She wonders if they shouldn't fall back and just wait out the winter. He says the winter could last five years and once his men go home and are warm by the fire with their families they won't want to fight again. He says he's lost his purpose. She says maybe it's time to give them a new purpose. As he explains it to her and puts her hand on the pieces they draw closer and start generating some heat and then he gets a light bulb. If he takes Casterley Rock, the Lannister's home, they will have to come fight him and Robb thinks they can take it.

Sansa and Margaery watch Loras spar. Margaery reassures her that Joffrey will let her leave because it will be a favor to her. Loras' new squire comes over and says he'd like to see him spar with a partner that would truly challenge him. Cut to Loras and the squire in bed. Loras wonders how he knew since women often never know. He says he always knows and has been keeping company with several of the husbands of those women.

The squire dutifully reports back to Littlefinger and gives him the intel about Loras' being lined up to marry Sansa.

Littlefinger pays Sansa a visit down by the water where they can see his ship. He says he always wanted a ship and now that he has one he wants a dozen. He notes how funny that is, that when we get what we want we always want more. He says he'll be leaving soon and his offer still stands for her to go with him. She says she might actually be a danger to him and says it might be better if she stays. He says he understands and it is up to her but that they will talk again.

Tywin Lannister, having caught wind of Margaery's little plot to marry Sansa off to Loras Tyrell has a plan of his own. Since he sees Sansa as the key to the north he won't let the Tyrell's plot ruin this. He tells Tyrion he will be marrying Sansa. Tyrion objects on a number of grounds but mainly out of humanity, that after all she's been through that to be married to him would be cruel. Tyrion and Cersei point out that this is a gift and much better than he should expect. Tywin says it's done, he will marry Sansa and put a child in her. And that it's high time that he was wed. Tyrion points out that he was wed. Tywin hasn't forgotten. Cersei is gloating about all of this and then Tywin lowers the boom. She will be marrying Loras Tyrell. She freaks out and says she won't do it and that she is the queen regent and not a breed whore. He says too bad, she will sacrifice for her family and that she's still young and fertile she will be having a child as well. And that maybe this finally put to rest the disgusting rumors about her. He appraises them and calls them a disgrace. Tywin leaves and Cersei and Tyrion sit in stunned silence.

Game of Thrones Season 3 Episode 4 Synopsis

Jaime rides his horse, ragged, with his hand attached to his neck as his captors taunt him. He falls off his horse into the mud face first. His captors trick him into drinking horse urine when he begs for water. Suddenly, he leaps up, seizes a sword with his remaining hand and tries to fight. He cannot fight with his left (remaining) hand and it shows. It is heartbreaking. They get him down and kick and abuse him. Brienne is incensed and tries to help but is helpless to do so.

Later, Brienne tries to convince Jaime to eat so he can live to seek revenge. He, understandably is distraught, saying I WAS that hand. She tells him not to whine and cry and quit like a woman. She also points out that she knows that he told them Tarth was full of sapphires when it's really called that because of the sapphire blue of the sea. She asks why he helped her when their captors attacked her. He doesn't respond.

Tyrion goes to see Varys to ask for help in proving that Cersei tried to kill him. Varys says he has no proof, only whispers. As they talk Varys is opening a large box and explaining to Tyrion how he came to be a eunuch. He tells him a sorcerer abducted him, cut him from "root to stem," burned his parts and when the flame turned blue the sorcerer called out and in the flame a voice answered call. He then discarded him. This is why Varys has always hated magic and those who practice it. He says his rise from from orphan in the slums to being a man of power in the small council chamber was a kind of symbolic revenge. Tyrion wants actual revenge and says he needs influence to do that. Varys responds that patience is the key to influence. Varys finally gets the box open and inside is the sorcerer, old, traumatized, and rightfully fearful of what Varys is about to do him. He tells Tyrion his actual revenge will indeed come, if he has stomach for it.

Meanwhile, the members of the Nights Watch are literally shoveling shit at Crasters, out of his pig pens. They are cold, defeated, starving and on the verge of mutiny. Now that the confrontation of the Fist of the First Men went so badly they are starting to feel they need to start looking out for themselves. Sam goes to girl who recently had a son and she wants him to save babys life and says there's very little time.

The men burn a body of a fellow Crow who died from hunger and rot. Back inside by the fire, after Craster, eating a healthy portion of meat, berates and taunts them and says he wants them gone, the mutiny is on. Lord Commander Mormont tries to stop them but they attack and kill Craster and Lord Commander himself. Sam goes for girl and her baby and they take off for the woods amidst the melee.

Bran runs in his dream. Jojen Reed is there. In his dream, crawls up a high tree to the three-eyed raven. Suddenly, Catelyn is there on the branch yelling at him "No more climbing." He wakes up in a sweat by the fire with Jojen watching him.

Ros and Varys gossip about how Podrick was extraordinary with the whores and that they wouldn't take his money. They couldn't explain what he did but that it was great. They chat about Littlefinger leaving for the Eyrie. Varys wonders if he's still interested in Sansa. Ros says he is and notes that he ordered two feathered beds for the boat for his journey, and we know he has told her he wanted to take her.

Joffrey,Margaery, Cersei, and Lady Olenna take a stroll around the Great Sept of Baelor where the wedding will be held with Joffrey gleefully pointing out the various tombs of Targaryens to Margaery. She notes that severity is the price we pay for greatness. He agrees. Olenna and Cersei discuss how inane it is that men rule the world when women are often smarter. Cersei isn't taking the bait on this even though we know she agrees. Margaery softens up Joffrey. They hear the noise of a crowd outside and he looks nervous. She says if he gives them love they will return it a thousand fold. She points out that he led the defense of Kings Landing and that the people adore him. She leads him outside. Many of the people are calling Margaery's name, she waves she waves sweetly to them and encourages him to do the same and when he does they begin to call his name as well.

Theon and his savior ride to meet his sister. He grumbles about how people like his father worried that he would become a Stark but that would never happen, not only because he was Iron born but because Robb Stark would never allow such a thing, just by being who he was. He expresses remorse of what he did at Winterfell, killing orphan boys and pretending they were Bran and Rickon to make his father proud. He realizes he chose wrong and burned everything down. His "savior" says "not everything." He claims he brought him to a place to meet his sister but instead he is brought him to back to the dungeon he freed him from before. The man then says that Theon escaped and killed the men chasing him down in the woods. Theon is strapped up again and tortured.

Cersei sits in front of her always impatient father and asks Tywin what he's doing for Jaime. He points out that he's doing everything he can. She asks him if he ever considered that it was she who deserved his confidence and his trust, not Tyrion and Jaime, but her. She says that he should consider her while he prepares the Legacy he will leave. So he asks her to contribute. She points out that the Tyrells are a problem and that Margaery is manipulating Joffrey. Tywin thinks this is positive since she clearly doesn't know how to do it and that he rides roughshod over everyone in city. He tells her he doesn't consider he because she's a woman but because she's not as smart as she thinks. She tells him he needs to stop Joffrey from doing what he likes. He says he will.

Varys goes to the garden to speak to Lady Olenna about Sansa since he believes they both have her best interests at heart. He talks about Littlefinger's ambitions and how he would see this country burn if he could be king of the ashes. He says Littlefinger needs money and lands and army. Right now he has the first two and if he has Sansa in his pocket he could have an army, because if Robb Stark falls, Sansa is the key to the north. She sees they do need a solution to this Littlefinger problem.

Margaery goes to see Sansa and talks sweetly about how much she'd like them to be friends. In fact, she'd like more than that. She'd like Sansa to marry Loras, and then theyd be sisters and Sansa would rule over the Tyrell's beautiful home Highgarden. She asks if Sansa would like that? She sure would.

The Brotherhood Without Banners take Arya, Gendry, and The Hound to a cave where Beric Dondarrion, their leader, is. The Hound calls them deserters. They essentially say they are men who have found God and they will mete out justice to the evil and those who prey on the weak like The Hound. They accuse him of murder. He says he never killed anyone that wasn't in the pursuit of protecting Joffrey. Arya says he is a murderer since The Hound killed his friend Mycah who didn't do anything to hurt Joffrey, it was her that had hurt him. The leader says he will have a trial by combat against the leader himself-- who has a patch over one eye-- and the Lord of Light will decide their fates.

Danaerys goes to collect her army of the Unsullied. She pulls out one of her dragons and hands the leash to the evil slave trader, Kraznys. Instead of trading the dragon, she begins speaking in High Valyrian-- a more refined form of the same language Kraznys has been speaking (known as Low Valyrian), and insulting her in. He is aghast -- she has known all along what he was saying. She points out that she is "Danaerys Stormborn" and of the "Blood of Old Valyria" and High Valyrian is her mother tongue. She takes control of the Unsullied, and tells them to strike down all slave masters and soldiers, but to hurt no children. She says "drakharys" and the dragon sets fire to the slave trader. After they take their freedom, Dany asks if they will fight for her as free men. They will! And they're off!
