以下详细剧情概述保留原文

At the Dreadfort

Ramsay Snow (Iwan Rheon) sadistically hunts a young girl in the woods, with the assistance of his servant, Reek (formerly known as Theon Greyjoy) (Alfie Allen), and Myranda (Charlotte Hope). When Ramsay’s father Roose (Michael McElhatton) arrives at the Dreadfort with his new wife Walda (granddaughter of Walder Frey) he asks to see Reek, and chastises Ramsay for having flayed and tortured him. Roose intended to trade Reek to the Ironborn in exchange for Moat Cailin, a fortification that is preventing the Bolton army from returning to the north. Ramsay, in an effort to prove how well he has broken him, has Reek shave his face. While doing so, Ramsay coaxes Reek into admitting to Roose that both Bran and Rickon Stark are alive, as he could not find them, and burned two farm boys in their place while holding Winterfell. Ramsay also spitefully tells Reek that Roose murdered Robb Stark (“The Rains of Castamere”), who had once been like a brother to Theon. Despite this, a visibly emotional Reek completes his shave without harming Ramsay, thus proving his trustworthiness. Roose dispatches Locke (Noah Taylor) to find and kill Bran and Rickon, as while they are alive they pose a threat to his new position as Warden of the North. Roose also sends Ramsay, along with Reek, to Moat Cailin with instructions to capture it. As a reward, Roose will consider legitimizing Ramsay, making him a true Bolton.

Beyond the Wall

North of the Wall, Bran (Isaac Hempstead-Wright), using his abilities as a warg, sees through the eyes of his wolf and kills a doe. Awoken by Hodor (Kristian Nairn), he is reminded to use the warg abilities sparingly by Jojen (Thomas Brodie Sangster) and Meera (Ellie Kendrick), as spending too much time as Summer will cut him off from his human body. After stopping at a Heart Tree, Bran has a vision of the three-eyed raven, which urges him to continue his journey north. Bran tells his companions that he now knows where they must go.

At Dragonstone

At night, Melisandre (Carice van Houten) orders several of Stannis Baratheon’s (Stephen Dillane) subjects burned at the stake, including Lady Selyse’s (Tara Fitzgerald) brother, as a tribute to the Lord of Light. After dinner, Melisandre speaks to Shireen Baratheon (Kerry Ingram), Stannis and Selyse’s daughter, about the Lord of Light, and how the Seven Gods are a lie.

In King’s Landing

Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) and Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) have an early breakfast, where Jaime expresses his embarrassment at the loss of his sword hand. Tyrion encourages him to train his left hand and arranges lessons with Bronn (Jerome Flynn), as, provided he is paid, he will keep Jaime’s ineptitude a secret. On the way to the wedding breakfast, Lord Varys (Conleth Hill) informs Tyrion that the Queen knows about Shae (Sibel Kekilli), and will soon tell their father, Tywin (Charles Dance). Lord Mace Tyrell (Roger Ashton-Griffiths) presents King Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) with a large gold goblet, and Tyrion gives him a rare book, “The Lives of Four Kings”, before being presented with the second Valyrian steel sword that Tywin had forged. Joffrey uses the sword to easily slice through the large book, before naming it “Widow’s Wail”. In his chambers, Tyrion tries in vain to get Shae to leave, offering her an estate in Pentos with servants and gold. Shae only finally leaves in tears when Tyrion lies about his feelings towards her, saying that he could never love a prostitute and that Sansa is the only woman worthy of bearing his children. Bronn escorts Shae to the boat and later assures Tyrion that she has left for Essos and is out of harm’s way.

After the wedding, Tywin and Lady Olenna (Diana Rigg) trade barbs at one-another, and Olenna reminds Tywin of the debt the Crown now owes to the Iron Bank of Braavos. Ser Loras Tyrell (Finn Jones) is threatened by Jaime, who tells him that should he wed Cersei (Lena Headey), she would likely kill him in his sleep. After giving her congratulations on the marriage, Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) is confronted by Cersei, who accuses her of being in love with Jaime. Margaery announces that the leftovers from the feast will be given to the city’s poorest residents, earning much acclaim. Cersei, bitter at her loss of power and disapproving of Joffrey’s new queen, confronts Grand Maester Pycelle, who is attempting to seduce a much younger woman, and threatens to execute him if he does not leave the wedding and command the feast chefs to give the leftovers to the royal hounds. Tywin and Cersei are later confronted by Prince Oberyn (Pedro Pascal) and his paramour, Ellaria Sand (Indira Varma). The four share a tense conversation filled with veiled insults, where Oberyn reminds them that Myrcella is currently being protected in Dorne.

The events are then interrupted by Joffrey, who presents a crude play depicting the War of the Five Kings. The roles of each king are filled by dwarves, amusing many of the guests but infuriating Tyrion and bringing Sansa close to tears. Joffrey tries to get Tyrion involved in the play due to his size, but Tyrion refuses, instead telling Joffrey to display his own talent with a sword and show how a true king wins his battles. Humiliated, Joffrey pours a cup of wine over Tyrion’s head, and orders him to be his cupbearer, toying with him by intentionally dropping and kicking the goblet.

Joffrey continues to embarrass his uncle by commanding him to kneel, before Lady Margaery (Natalie Dormer) diffuses the situation by drawing attention to a large pie. As Joffrey eats, and continues to order Tyrion to serve his wine, he begins to cough and indicate that he is choking. While the emergency draws the crowd’s attention, Dontos (Tony Way) implores Sansa (Sophie Turner) to flee with him. As Lady Olenna yells for everyone to assist the King, he falls to the ground and it becomes evident that he has most likely been poisoned. In his last moments he points an accusing finger at Tyrion. Furious with grief, Cersei orders Tyrion arrested on charges of murdering the king.
