Ep. 4.3 "Breaker of Chains"
Margaery thinks she must be cursed since her first husband liked
men and was killed and her second husband was a sociopath who was poisoned. Her grandmother tells her she is better
off. The Lannisters still need an
alliance with Highgarden and there will be another king.
Tywin, Cersei and Tommen look on Joffrey lying in
state. Tywin talks to Tommen about
being a good king. They discuss
the many traits of kings and decide that wisdom is what makes a good king. Tywin says Joffrey didn’t have wisdom
and he wasn’t a good king, if he had been maybe he’d still be alive. Tommen and Tywin leave as Tywin starts
to talk to him about how to make heirs for the family. Jaime comes in and asks for a moment
alone with Cersei. Cersei tells
Jaime that Tyrion killed Joffrey. But
Jaime doesn’t believe it. Cersei
tells Jaime to avenge their son and kill Tyrion. Jaime thinks the trial will bring out the truth. She lets Jaime comfort her for a
moment. They start to kiss, but
then she pulls away. He tells her
she is a hateful woman and then he rapes her in the sept.
The Hound and Arya run across some natives. Thanks to Arya’s skills as a liar she
gets the man and daughter to invite them to sleep in their barn for the night
while it storms. The man talks
about the Red Wedding and how things are horrible under the Frey’s. He asks if the Hound and Arya could
stay for a while. He needs help
tending his crops and the Hound could scare off outlaws. He will pay them with some hidden money
he has. Arya awakes the next
morning to a scream. The Hound has
stolen the man’s money and wants them to be on their way. Arya screams at him for being a thief
when the man helped them out. She
calls him the “worst shit in the seven kingdoms”.
Sam tells Gilly he is nervous about her being there with all
of the men of the Night’s Watch.
She says no one has touched her yet. He thinks she’ll be safer if she leaves the Wall. She thinks he’s bored with her, but he
says he just wants to protect her.
He takes her to Mole Town and says he will visit her often, but she is
hurt that he is leaving her there.
Stannis is happy that Joffrey is dead, but is mad that Ser
Davos let Gendry go. He needs an
army. Davos thinks he should hire
the Golden Company, but Stannis scoffs at hiring sellswords to win his throne. Davos goes to a reading lesson with
Shireen. While they are talking he
comes up with the idea of writing the Iron Bank of Bravos.
Lord Tywin breaks in on Prince Oberyn and Elaria’s
extracurricular activities in the brothel. He wants to speak with Prince Oberyn alone. Prince Oberyn says he’s sorry about
Joffrey’s death, that poison is a horrible way to die. Tywin asks how he knows Joffrey was
poisoned. Prince Oberyn studied
poisons at the Citadel and Lord Tywin finds that awfully coincidental. He wants to know what Prince Oberyn and
Tyrion talked about a few days before.
Prince Oberyn says they talked about Elia’s rape and murder and how
Oberyn blames Lord Tywin. Lord
Tywin says the Mountain did not act on his orders. Prince Oberyn tells Lord Tywin he wants to meet with the
Mountain. Lord Tywin says that can
be arranged if Prince Oberyn will be the third judge in Tyrion’s trial. Lord Tywin and Mace Tyrell will be the
other judges. He would also like
Prince Oberyn to sit on the small council of the king.
Pod comes to visit Tyrion. He tells Tyrion that he doesn’t believe that he killed
Joffrey. His will have a trial in
a fortnight and they have many witnesses against him. Pod tells him that Sansa has disappeared. Tyrion needs witnesses, but non seem to
be available. He asks Pod to get
Jaime to see him. Pod tells Tyrion
that someone approached him to be a witness against him and say he saw him buy
poison. If he did this he would be
named Ser Podrik Pane. Tyrion asks
if he is taking them up on their offer, but Pod says he won’t. Tyrion tells him to be smart and take
the offer or get out of Kings Landing before his trial. He doesn’t want Pod to be killed.
The Wildlings attack a village. They leave one child alive to go to the Wall and tell the
Nights Watch. The men of the
Nights Watch debate what to do.
They decide they must defend the Wall no matter what. They hear a horn and some rangers
return with bad news. Some of
their group were caught and are on their way to Mance Rayder. Jon tells Ser Alliser Thorne that he
lied to Mance Rayder and told him they had 1000 soldiers at the Wall. If he gets to question the captured
rangers then he will know he can defeat them.
Daenarys reaches Mereen. They send out a single man on horseback. The Mereenese want her to pick a
champion to fight against him.
Daario Naharis volunteers.
The Mereneese soldier races at him on horseback. Daario waits until he gets close and
throws a knife into the horse’s head.
The rider comes flying off and when he lands at Daario’s feet, he slits
his throat. Daenarys speaks to the
slaves of Mereen and tells them of how she freed the slaves of Astapor and
Yunkai, and how she will free them from their masters. Then she brings out her catapults and
has them released. When the
weapons fall we see that it is the collars of the former slaves who now fight
for her.
End credits…
So, will Tommen make a good king? He’s not sociopathic like Joffrey. If they can keep Cersei away from him maybe he will be
okay. I’m not happy with the whole
Jaime raping Cersei thing. It goes
completely against his growth and change as a character and I’m pretty sure
that didn’t happen in the book.
Cersei does scorn him and he finally starts to see the manipulative evil
slut she is.
