In King’s Landing

Ser Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) continues his sword training with Bronn (Jerome Flynn), who urges him to visit his brother, Tyrion (Peter Dinklage). In the dungeon, Jaime and Tyrion discuss Joffrey’s murder. Tyrion claims he had no role in the murder, but knows that nothing will change his situation, as Cersei (Lena Headey) will not rest until he is dead. Jaime tells Tyrion that Cersei has offered a knighthood to whomever captures Sansa, but Tyrion is also confident in her innocence. In the gardens, Lady Olenna (Diana Rigg) tells Margaery (Natalie Dormer) that she will soon depart for Highgarden. Olenna encourages Margaery to bond with Tommen (Dean-Charles Chapman) before Cersei can turn him against her, and assures Margaery that, while straightening her necklace, she never would have allowed her to marry cruel Joffrey. At night, Cersei speaks to Jaime in her chambers. She chastises him for failing to protect Joffrey, and for his capture and release by Catelyn Stark. Jaime tries to tell her of Tyrion’s innocence, but she will not listen, dismissing him after ordering more men to guard Tommen. Margaery visits Tommen in his chamber to discuss their impending marriage, and begins to form a relationship with him, per her grandmother’s advice.

In the morning, Jaime gives his Valyrian-steel sword to Brienne (Gwendoline Christie), along with new armor, and charges her with finding and protecting Sansa. He also has her, through reluctantly, take on Podrick Payne (Daniel Portman) as a squire. When she is ready to depart, she names the sword “Oathkeeper”, which Jaime approves of.

At Sea

Sansa (Sophie Turner) is informed by Lord Petyr Baelish (Aidan Gillen) that they are bound for the Vale of Arryn, as he will soon marry her aunt, Lysa. Sansa accuses Baelish of having a hand in the murder of the King, but he denies any direct involvement. He points out to Sansa that a stone was missing from the necklace Dontos gave to her, and she deduces that the stone was the poison used in the murder. Sansa says she does not believe Baelish would murder Joffrey, as he made him the Lord of Harrenhal and gave him wealth and power, but Baelish claims that by having no motive to kill Joffrey, he will not be suspected of the crime. He also points out that his new allies can offer him more than the Lannisters would.

In the North

In the courtyard at Castle Black, Jon (Kit Harington) spars with Grenn (Mark Stanley), and instructs several Night’s Watch brothers on how wildlings fight. Ser Alliser Thorne (Owen Teale) breaks up the training, ordering Jon to get back to his true duty: being a steward. Janos Slynt (Dominic Carter) tells Thorne that it may be wise to send Jon on an expedition to Craster’s Keep, as he earlier requested, so the mutineers can kill him and prevent him from being elected as the new Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch. While getting his sword, he speaks to Locke (Noah Taylor), a new recruit of the Night’s Watch, though secretly an agent of Roose Bolton. Later, Sam (John Bradley) and Jon discuss Bran’s group moving beyond the Wall, before being informed by Locke that Thorne wants to see Jon. Thorne tells Jon that he will allow him to lead a group to Craster’s Keep, and Jon rallies several of his brothers to his cause, including Grenn, Edd (Ben Crompton), and Locke.

Across the Narrow Sea

At Daenerys’s (Emilia Clarke) request, Missandei (Nathalie Emmanuel) teaches Grey Worm (Jacob Anderson) to speak the common tongue by talking about how they both became slaves. At nightfall, Grey Worm leads a group of Unsullied into Meereen through the sewers, where they come upon a large group of slaves discussing Daenerys and her army. The Unsullied group arms the slaves with swords, and through the night, the slaves kill their masters and free themselves. In the morning, Daenerys orders the remaining masters executed, having them nailed to posts as they had slave children killed to mark each mile to Meereen.

North of the Wall

At Craster’s Keep, Karl (Burn Gorman) orders Rast (Luke Barnes) to feed “the beast”, as he drunkenly insults him and tells tales of his legend in King’s Landing. One of Craster’s former wives enters the Keep and presents him with Craster’s last child, a son. The women call for it to be given to the gods, and Rast takes the child out into the forest, leaving it behind. On the way back, he taunts Ghost, Jon Snow’s direwolf, who the mutineers have caged. Nearby, Bran (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) and his companions hear the infant’s cries, and he uses his warg abilities to send Summer in search of the baby. As Summer, Bran sees Ghost caged, but before he can help, the wolf falls into a trap and Bran awakens in his own body. The group spies on Craster’s Keep, but before they can try to free Summer, they are captured by the mutineers. Bran, Jojen (Thomas Brodie-Sangster), and Meera (Ellie Kendrick) are taken to Karl, who forces Bran to admit his true identity.

Elsewhere, a White Walker is seen riding a dead horse, and carrying Craster’s last son. It places the baby on a small altar, where another White Walker picks up the child and touches its face, causing its eyes to turn blue.
