Game of Thrones is an American fantasy drama television series created by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. It is an adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire, George R. R. Martin's series of fantasy novels, the first of which is A Game of Thrones. The show is filmed in Belfast and elsewhere in Northern Ireland, Canada, Croatia, Iceland, Malta, Morocco, Scotland, Spain, and the United States.

The Game of Thrones series premiered on HBO in the United States on April 17, 2011, and will conclude with its eighth season, which will premiere on April 14, 2019.

Set on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos, Game of Thrones has several plots and a large ensemble cast, but follows three story arcs.

The first arc is about the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms, and follows a web of alliances and conflicts among the noble dynasties either vying to claim the throne or fighting for independence from it.

The second story arc focuses on the last descendant of the realm's deposed ruling dynasty, who has been exiled and is plotting a return to the throne.

The third story arc follows the Night's Watch, a long-standing brotherhood charged with defending the realm against the ancient threats of the fierce peoples and legendary creatures that lie far north of The Wall, and an impending winter that threatens the realm.

As for those of you who have never watched an episode of GoT, I will say this, if you are fond of stories of political intrigue, power plays, and things full of human moral decadence set in the medieval era in Europe, and have a high tolerance for scenes - scenes that will make your nerves ache for a moment, then you should try watching Game of Thrones starting from the first season.

Game of Thrones finally closes the story of the struggle for the throne that has lasted for eight seasons in the last episode entitled "The Iron Throne". After the various disappointments felt by the audience in several episodes this season, it seems that it will be difficult for the Game of Thrones series to provide a satisfying cover and erase the audience's disappointment. The episode "The Iron Throne" proved unable to do too much or even save the eighth season which could be considered the worst season of Game of Thrones.

Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 6 Synopsis

Tyrion Lannister creeps slowly up the main avenue of Kings Landing, Jon Snow and Ser Davos close behind, swords drawn. Fires, destruction, dead children, ashes fall like snow. The City is in ruins. Jon says to stop, Tyrion stares at what's left of the Red Keep and goes on alone. On the street, Grey Worm is executing Lannister Army survivors. Jon tries to stop him, things get tense, Davos suggests they talk to the Queen, they leave but Grey Worm slits a throat anyway.

Tyrion makes it inside, to the map room then finds the stairs to the lower levels. In the rubble he notices Jaime's gilt hand. He uncover the bricks and finds Jaime and Cersei's lifeless bodies. He weeps and pounds a brick in anguish.

Arya gets to an open square and sees Jon Snow pushing through Dothraki cavalry. The Dothraki and Unsullied are in parade formation in front of a large stairway. Jon begins to ascend, Grey Worm waits above. The dragon passes overhead. Queen Daenerys comes to address her Army. In their language she thanks them for their service and says they have only just started, more cities need to be liberated. Jon looks on with concern. She names Grey Worm her Master of War, to cheers and pounding pikes.

From below Arya looks on with hate. Tyrion arrives at the staircase podium. Daenerys tells him quietly he committed treason and he resigns as Hand, tossing his badge down the stairs. The troops realize something is up and quiet down. Daenerys orders guards to take Tyrion away. She then looks at Jon but they don't speak to each other, the Queen departs. Suddenly Arya is beside Jon, she warns Jon that he will always be seen as a threat to the Queen with his Targaryeon lineage.

Jon goes to see Tyrion in a dungeon. Tyrion is resigned to his fate. As they talk Tyrion tries to get Jon to see Daenerys as he sees her now, in light of Kings Landing and leaves him with the thought that Jon can still do the right thing. Jon remembers an old saying from Maester Aemon "love is the death of duty", Tyrion turns it around, pressing Jon and pointing out even Sansa is at risk.

Jon walks through a storm of ashes, the dragon guards the Throne Hall, sniffs Jon and lets him pass. In the Throne Room the walls have been blasted away but the Iron Throne remains. Daenerys approaches in awe, slowly touching the armrest. Jon approaches, Daenerys recalls her childhood stories of the Throne. Jon raises his voice over the deaths and executions, he asks her to forgive. Unrepentant, she asks him to join her new world order. They hug and kiss, Jon slips a dagger into her chest and lowers her to the floor. She dies.

The dragon realizes something is amiss and flies close-by then lands, it sees Jon holding the lifeless Queen. The dragon roars, nuzzles the dead body, then sends a mighty flame onto the Iron Throne, melting the chair. Jon shields himself from the heat but is not touched. The dragon then takes Daenerys' body and flies off.

Several weeks later Tyrion is taken from his cell. Grey Worm marches him in front of the Lords of Westeros seated under an awning at the Dragon Pit. Grey Worm says Jon is still his prisoner. Sansa and Yara Greyjoy argue, Davos tries to conciliate. Tyrion points out the King of Westeros must decide, they must choose one now. Edmure Tully stands and starts his claim, Sansa puts him down. Samwell Tarly tries to raise democracy, after a pause the others laugh it off. Tyrion then makes a strong case and concludes Brandon Stark should be King. Tyrion also says the next King must not be born but chosen by the Lords to serve the realm. Bran accepts readily as if he had already foreseen. All say 'aye'. Sansa declares independence for the North. All hail "Bran the Broken". Bran then says Tyrion must be his Hand. Grey Worm protests.

Tyrion goes to see Jon in a cell, it has been decided to send him to the Night's Watch, an outpost for the unwanted. Jon can have no wife or lands. This will appease the Unsullied. Jon is still not sure he did the right thing, Tyrion says to ask again in 10 years.

Jon walks to the harbor, sees an angry Grey Worm and the Unsullied setting sail for Naath. Jon meets Bran, Sansa and Arya to say farewell. Arya says she will be exploring west, with her Needle. Jon kneels before Bran, then boards his launch to take him to the far North.

Brienne has the manuscript for the Kingsguard History. She updates Jaime's section and closes the book, sadly.

Tyrion enters the Council chambers and sits in the Hand chair at the head of the table. He rearranges the other chairs just before his Council enters. Sam brings in a large tome, "A Song of Ice and Fire", the history of Westeros since King Robert. Sam jokes that Tyrion is not mentioned in the book. King Bran arrives, Ser Podrick pushing the wheelchair. Bran notes a Master of Whisperers, Master of Laws, Master of War are still vacant, Tyrion says suitable names will be provided soon for approval. The dragon was last seen in the East, Bran says maybe he can locate him. Bronn, Lord of Highgarden is Master of Coin. Lord Davos is Master of Ships. The Council argue in good nature the priorities facing the Realm.

Tormund watches from a balcony as a morose Jon Snow arrives at Castle Black.

Sansa is prepped for her coronation ceremony. The Lords of the North all hail Queen Of the North.

Arya sails away on a ship, looking forward to her new adventures.

Jon is greeted by the Wildings and reunites with his dire wolf Ghost. Tormund and Jon then lead the Wildings past the Wall, a tuft of grass pokes out from the snow. They disappear into the forest beyond.

The fifth episode of Game of Thrones, titled "The Bells", finally shows up and shows the King Seize Landing attempt by Daenerys. Unfortunately, this episode is arguably disappointing and fails to satisfy the audience. David Benioff and D.B. Weiss showrunner and writer of this series proved unable to hold the burden of completing the Game of Thrones series satisfactorily without being based on novel material by G.R.R Martin.

Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5 Synopsis

Varys writes a raven-gram message to someone explaining that Jon Snow is the heir to the Iron Throne. The door knocks, a serving girl reports Daenerys is still not eating, the young girl is nervous saying the soldiers are watching her. Varys gives her a confidence boost. Later, Tyrion watches from on high as Jon Snow arrives at Dragonstone by launch, met by Varys on the beach. Jon reports the army is two days away. Daenerys is in her chambers not seeing everyone. Varys hints at a mutiny, Jon stresses he only supports the Queen.

Tyrion is summoned to Daenerys at the Map Room. She reveals she knows Tyrion knows about Jon, who must have betrayed her. He names Varys, Tyrion is forced to apologize, she is very bitter. Varys hears footsteps and burns a note, he removes his rings. Grey Worm and Unsullied take him to the beach, lit by a few torches. Tyrion takes blame, Varys accepts his fate and says goodbye. Daenerys issues a death sentence, and orders her dragon to flame the eunuch. Jon watches in silence.

By a fire Daenerys gives Grey Worm a souvenir from Missandei, her old slave collar, he tosses it in the fire. She excuses him so she can talk to Jon. She blames him for telling Sansa, he says he loves her, they kiss but again the spark is missing. Dany steps back.

Tyrion tries to convince Dany the citizens of Kings Landing are innocent, under hostage to Cersei. Dany says she needs to show her strength. Tyrion pleads for her to call off the attack if the City bells ring out in surrender. She nods, then sends Grey Worm to take the Unsullied to meet Jon's Army. Dany then mentions they captured Jaime, she tells Tyrion he can only fail her one more time.

At day, a steady stream of civilians enter Kings Landing. Jon and Tyrion are rowed to their army camp, the attack will occur at daybreak. Tyrion asks Davos for a smuggling favor.

Sandor Cleghane and Arya ride up to a sentry post, they breeze through.

Tyrion goes to see Jaime held under Unsullied guard. They allow him to pass. Jaime reveals his gilt hand gave him away, Tyrion wants Jaime to try to get Cersei to surrender, mentioning the baby. Tyrion tells him to take Cersei out the secret passage at the bottom of the Red Keep. A dinghy will be waiting. Jaime promises to do as his brother says. Jaime warns him Dany won't be happy, Tyrion hopes for mercy. Tyrion unlocks Jaime, his only friend growing up. They hug.

The next day is sunny and still. The Iron fleet prepares the scorpion weapons. Lannister troops man the high walls. Civilians close their doors and windows. Arya and Sandor make it in to the City on foot. Jaime, wearing a cloak also goes for the Main Gate. The Golden Company takes position outside the North Gate. Jon, Davos and Tyrion stand on a rise with their army, Tyrion says to call off their men if the bells ring. Cersei looks over King Landing with a confident smile. Sandor and Arya get through to the Keep as the doors close, Jaime is forced to find another way in. The crowd begins to panic.

In the harbor, Euron paces, he senses something and looks up into the sun. Alarmed, he sees the dragon diving down, he tries to redirect the weapons but the beast strafes and destroys the ships. The dragon evades the scorpions and destroys the defensive weapons. On the other side of the City, they hear explosions, suddenly the wall explodes from the inside, the dragon blasts the sellswords and Grey Worm leads the charge, Dothraki cavalry breaking into the City. The dragon continues destroying Cersei's army. Cersei looks from a distance, slightly concerned, but hopeful of one good shot. Tyrion walks toward the City. Qyburn tells Cersei the scorpions have all been destroyed, still confident, she expects her men to fight, the Red Keep has never fallen.

Grey Worm leads the army further into the City, they meet a line of Lannister troops blocking a main road. Tyrion looks anxiously at the bell tower. Dany and her dragon land on a rooftop and roar in triumph. The Lannister Army drop their swords, the fighting pauses. Dany surveys the scene from her mount, Cersei watches the north end of the City in flames. Tyrion and Jon wait, then the bell peels, Cersei grimaces. Dany stares at the Red Keep, then takes off, her dragon flying low scaring the city folk. Suddenly the dragon spews fire and starts burning Kings Landing. Grey Worm sees the carnage and throws his pike at an unarmed opponent. The Unsullied surge forward slaughtering the Lannister Army.

Jon pauses, then tries to hold back his Army, Grey Worm flashes him a look of hate and continues his killing. The Dragon roams over the City burning large swaths, Tyrion is stunned. The Unsullied and Dothraki kill everyone in sight. Jon walks in a daze, he stops a rapist. The dragon flies toward the Red Keep.

Jamie gets to the base of the Castle, sees the row boat waiting. Euron is there taunting him. The dragon now works on the Keep, towers fall. Euron and Jaime fight, Qyburn gets Cersei and leads her away to escape. Jaime is able to hold his own but is stabbed. He manages to recover his sword and runs Euron through. Euron dies happy, believing he killed Jaime with the mortal wounds. Jaime staggers into the Red Keep.

The Hound and Arya make their way up into the Castle, Sandor tells Arya to go, not to end up like him. She thanks him and goes back. Sandor meets Cersei, Qyburn and the Mountain on the stairs, the dragon batters the walls. Sandor easily kills other guards then approaches his big brother. The larger Cleghane kills Qyburn, then approaches the smaller Hound. Cersei slips past as the two brothers fight with swords. Sandor knocks off the other's helmet revealing a brutalized face. Cersei stumbles around in shock, Jaime meets her and they hug. She weeps and realizes Jaime is hurt. He leads her away.

Sandor stabs the Mountain but the brute will not die, just pulling the sword out of his gut. Like Frankenstein's monster he trudges toward an exhausted Sandor.

Arya is outside the Keep, to scenes of death and destruction, she stumbles along as walls caves in, then is caught in a stampede, trampled.

Sandor is beaten badly by his monster brother. Arya manages to get up and tries to rescue a young family. The Mountain begins to choke and poke Sandor's eyes out, but the Hound buys relief by driving a dagger through the other's eye. With a last gasp, Sandor charges pushing both of them off the tower and they fall hundreds of feet to the fires below.

Jon sees some buildings explode with the green fires, he sheaths his sword then calls for everyone to pull back. Davos and others follow.

Arya gets up covered in dust, running, again she is covered by falling bricks. She makes it to safety in a room with others, she tries to get them to move. A Dothraki wounds the young father she tries to save, then she has to dive for cover as the flaming dragon approaches.

Jaime and Cersei make it to the lowest level but their way to the beach is blocked by rubble. They are trapped. Cersei cries, afraid to die, Jaime takes her close and reassures her. The roof continues to collapse and they are buried.

Ashes fall on a destroyed Kings Landing. Arya is still alive in the ruins, she sees a white horse, mounts up and gallops away.

Drunk, Tyrion states Brienne is a virgin, Brienne stands up without answering. Tormund comes by also drunk but she again rebuffs him. Frustrated he laments to Cleghane, then finds another girl who is willing. The Hound turns down another young lady offering her charms. Sansa sits with him to chat. He points out that if she had left Kings Landing when he offered years ago things would have been different. She holds his hand and saying she matured with Littlefinger and Ramsay Bolton.

Gendry finds Arya practicing archery. Eager, he proposes to her, but she kisses him and declines, saying she's not a Lady.

Dany comes to her bedroom, Jon is there drunk. He honors Ser Jorah, she couldn't love him in the way he wanted. Jon and Dany kiss, then he pulls back. She knows the others will respect him as King, he says he doesn't want it, so she asks him to keep his parentage a secret. Jon wants to tell the Starks, Dany stresses the secret will get out.

Brienne sleeps, Jaime looks at her with content.

The Council meet at a map board. With the 50% losses in the recent battle they now have roughly equal forces to Cersei. Dany wants to hit Cersei hard, Tyrion and Jon suggest a siege to turn the people of the Capital against Cersei.

Arya wants a word with Jon.

The Starks meet at the red tree, Jon once again has to convince his sisters of Daenerys' leadership. Arya supports Jon but doesn't trust the Dragon Queen. Jon then asks the two girls to swear an oath of secrecy, they do and he nods to Bran to explain.

Bronn is bitter about the Lannisters and punches Tryion in the face. He thinks Dany can win the upcoming war and wants to deal. Tyrion offers Bronn Lordship of Highgarden. Bronn leaves, warning the two brothers.

In the morning the Hound rides off alone, Arya joins him, he curses good naturedly. They both have unfinished business down South. Dany sends her dragons off, Sansa watches them fly away.

Tormund says farewell to Jon, he will take the Freefolk to Castle Black. Jon says to take Ghost. Sam and a pregnant Gilly come to say goodbye also, they want to name a boy Jon. Sam hugs his best friend ever. Jon looks at Ghost sadly, then mounts up and rides away.

Grey Worm and Missandei enjoy the sea on the upper decks. Tyrion sits with Varys in a wardroom. They discuss how Jon would be a more popular monarch. They are worried about Daenerys.

The ships drop anchor and Dany takes the two dragons for a flight around Dragonstone. Suddenly large darts hit the other dragon, Dany is shocked to see the animal crash dead to the sea. Looking for the cause they see Enron's fleet approaching through a narrows. Dany goes in to attack but turns away just as Euron lets loose another volley from his ships' ballistrae.

Later, Euron and Qyburn give Cersei an update on the battle victory. Cersei tells Euron she is pregnant with his child. Cersei says to leave the Gates open to dare Daenerys to kill civilians. Missandei is held prisoner.

Varys and Tyrion urge Daenerys not to attack Kings Landing. Jon is still two weeks away, Tyrion says to demand surrender, Dany agrees as it will show she tried at least. Alone later, Varys says Daenerys is unstable and he must let others know about Jon Snow for the good of the Realm. Tyrion says that would be treason and Jon doesn't even want the Throne. They discuss options, but disagree.

Jaime sees Sansa and Brienne receive a raven-gram. He asks for an update, Sansa explains the sea disaster. Jaime thinks, deep in thought he watches Brienne sleep. She notices him missing then goes out to see him preparing a horse. She asks him to stay with her. He cannot, and recites a few of the evil things he has done for Cersei, he leaves Brienne in tears.

A regiment of Unsullied stand behind Daenerys and her Council near the Gates to Kings Landing. Cersei is high on the walls above, Missandei in chains beside her. Qyburn goes out to parley with Tyrion. Tyrion demands Cersei surrender, Qyburn says likewise to Daenerys or else Missandei dies. Tyrion tries to reason, Qyburn is just a messenger, but points out their strength. Tyrion goes to the wall to appeal to Cersei, she stands down her archers to allow his approach. Tyrion calls up to give it up for the sake of her baby. Cersei doesn't respond but gives her prisoner a chance for last words. "Dracarys" she calls out.

Game of Thrones Season 1 Episode 4 Synopsis

Bran follows a raven through the empty courtyard. He's walking. He follows it until he's close enough to see it has three eyes.

He wakes up in bed with his direwolf on his bed and old nanny at his bedside. Theon Grey Joy, the ward of Ned Stark, tells Bran his brother Robb is there to visit.

Tyrion pays a visit to Robb and is put out that he's not greeted more warmly. Someone carries Bran in to see Tyrion. Maester Luwin reiterates that Bran didn't see anything when he fell.

Tyrion gives Bran drawings for a saddle that he can ride without use of his legs.

"I have a tender spot in my heart for cripples, bastards and broken things," Tyrion says.

But he wants none of Robb's false hospitalities, opting instead for the brothel outside Winterfell.

Outside, Tyrion demands of Theon where Lady Stark is. He mocks Theon for being a captive, asking what his father would think to see him. He brings up his brothers' murders and his family's fall from power, then sets off to visit the whores.

At the Wall, Samwell Tarley of Hornwill arrives to "take the black." [robes of the Night's Watch] but he's quickly knocked off his feet. Jon watches as he's whacked mercilessly, even after he yields. Jon steps in to protect Sam.

As punishment, Jon is ordered to take on three guys at once. He makes short work of them.

Even after the impressive display, he's ordered to go clean the armory.

Sam picks himself up and Jon and the guys tell him he has to defend himself. Sam admits that he's a coward. He's still grateful to Jon for defending him.

Khal Drogo leads the Dothraki to the City of the Horse Lords. Viserys says it's a city of mud and refers to the Dothraki as "savages."

Daenerys says they're her people now and he shouldn't call them that, but he insists they're his people and his army.

Daenerys privately asks Jorah if the Dorthraki could beat the seven kingdoms. He says Ned wants his head for selling slaves. Jorah says he had an expensive wife, but she's in another place with another man.

Viserys gets a spongebath from Daenerys's sex teacher, who asks if he has dragon's blood. He tells her the breath of the greatest dragon forged the iron throne and brave men rode them.

She's very impressed by dragons.

She claims she saw a man who could change his face and a pirate who wore his weight in gold.

Viserys says the last dragon died years before he was born, but he's seen their skulls approaching the Iron Throne. He recites dragon names as foreplay.

She asks what happened to the skulls.

He quickly turns on her for bumming him out and suspiciously asks what he bought her for. She stops talking and starts grinding.

Sansa gets a tour of the Iron Throne. She worries what would happen if she only has girls. She thinks everyone would hate her. She thinks Joffrey hates her. Her nanny distracts her with history lessons.

Sansa asks about her grandfather and uncle being killed in the hall, on the order of the Mad King. When her nanny tells her to ask her dad, she says she's not speaking to him.

Ned and the King's Council hear a report that the city is having a hard time keeping the peace in the build up to the tournament he doesn't want.

When they break, Ned asks Grand Maester Pycelle what happened to Lord Arryn. He says the sickness struck him very hard, and fast. He asked about a book the night he died. Pycelle shows him the book on the lineage and houses of the kingdoms of the seven kings. Ned reads the detailed birth records. Ned wonders what Arryn wanted with it, but Pycelle doesn't know.

He tells him Arryn kept saying "the seed is strong" before he died.

Ned asks if Pycelle is certain he died of a natural illness. Ned suggests poison, a woman's method. Pycelle suggests it's also the method of eunuchs and mentions Varys.

Ned takes the book and finds Arya balancing on one foot at the top of a step, per her sword instructor's teachings.

She asks if Bran is coming to live with them.

She asks what he can do now, and what she can do. Her dad tells her she'll marry and her sons will be knights and princes and lords.

"No, that's not me," she says, and gets back to practicing.

On the Wall, Sam joins Jon to serve as his new watch partner. He's afraid of heights. Jon asks what Sam's doing there.

His father was embarrassed by him and sent him away, under threat of a death in the woods that would look like an accident if he didn't go.

Sam worries he'll be made to fight again. Jon assures him he at least can't get any worse.

Petyr mentions Ser Hugh, Arryn's squire to Ned. As they walk among the courtyard, Petyr mentions all the spies about, reporting back to Varys, the Queen and Petyr himself.

Petyr suggests Ned get someone to inquire to an armorer in the village about a visit he got from Ser Hugh.

When Hugh refuses to talk to Ned's man, Ned goes to see the armorer himself. Ned talks to Gendry, who Lord Arryn talked to. Gendry says Arryn asked about his mother, who she was and what she looked like. Gendry said she had yellow hair but died when he was little.

Ned seems to see something in him.

He tells his man that Gendry is King Robert's bastard son.

Ned's man finds Jaime Lannister outside King Robert's door, listening to him carouse with four women. Jaime says Robert does this when he's on duty, as an insult to his sister.

Ned's man reminds Jaime they fought side by side at the Siege of Pike. Ned's man wants to leave a message from Lord Stark, but Jaime snarls that he doesn't serve Lord Stark.

Back at the Wall, Jon Snow defends Sam against mockery from the other guys. He tells them they're not going to hurt Sam in the training yard, no matter what Thorn says.

One guy mocks Jon, saying he'll cut Sam up.

Later, Jon and the boys pay him a visit at night. They put a gag in his mouth and the white dire wolf snarls at him, and Jon tells him no one touches Sam.

Later in the yard, Thorn commands the man to attack Sam, but the man only pokes at him weakly. Thorn sends another guy in and he promptly takes a dive. Thorn goes after Jon, then turns and asks the men if they want a "sniveling boy" to protect their back.

Viserys drags the whore in by her hair and scolds Daenyrs for sending her to him.

She says she only wanted to invite him to dinner and show him some Dothraki gear she had made for him. He snarls about her trying to turn him into one of them and throws her to the ground, insulting her.

She whacks him with a gold chain, then gets up and tells him she is the Khalessi and the wife of a great warrior. She stands up to him.

"The next time you raise a hand to me will be the last time you have hands," she warns him.

At the Wall, Jon and Sam scrub tables as Sam complains that they have to be celibate to guard the wall. Sam confesses he's never been with a woman. Jon says he hasn't either.

He says he was alone in a room with a naked girl once, a whore named Roz. But he reminds Sam he's a bastard who knows nothing about his mother. He thought of that and could only think what would happen if he got her pregnant and she had "another bastard named Snow."

Thorn comes and growls at them. He asks if they remember the last winter. He spent six months beyond the Wall during the last winter. He tells them about getting caught unprotected in the weather. First they ate the horses, then each other. He says they should have had boys like Sam along.

He tells them they're not ready to be Men of the Night's Watch. "Come the winter, you'll die, like flies," he says.

Daenerys frets to Jorah about hitting her brother. She admits she doesn't want to see him on the throne. She doesn't think he could take back the Seven Kingdoms. "He couldn't lead an army even if my husband gave him one. He'll never take us home," she says.

At a jousting match in Ned's honor, Sansa tries to make eyes at Joffrey but is rebuffed. Petyr chats up Sansa.

King Robert drunkenly, and impatiently demands the joust begin.

Ser Hugh of the Vale, Arryn's former squire, is taking on Gregor the Mountain, the Hound's larger brother.

They race at each other and miss on the first pass.

But on the second pass the former squire gets a lance through the jugular. Sansa and Arya shriek as the man gurgles in his blood and dies before them.

Petyr tells Sansa a story about when the Mountain and the Hound were boys. Gregor found his little brother playing with his wooden knight one evening by the fire, so without a word Gregor held The Hound's face in the fire, giving him gnarly scars he still bears. Petyr warns Sansa that few people know that story and if The Hound knew she did, no one could save her.

Cersei pays Ned a visit during the tournament. She suggests they put "the ugliness" with the wolves behind them. She says killing the wolf was a bit extreme.

He cuts to the chase, asking what she's doing there.

She says he won't be able to change the king.

She says it makes sense, Ned's older brother was trained to lead and he was trained to follow.

"I was also trained to kill my enemies, your grace," he says.

"As was I," she says, and leaves.

In a pub on the road, Catelyn hides her face as Tyrion comes in, but he sees her.

He outs her in front of the commoners, but she reminds them she was Catelyn Tully last time she stayed there. She picks out men by their cudgels, pointing out for Tyrion's benefit that she knows everyone there and inquiring about their families.

Then she turns on the room and announces that Tyrion came into her house as a guest and conspired to murder her son. She calls upon the crowd to seize him and return him to Winterfell to await the King's justice.

All the men in the room draw their swords on Tyrion, who is trapped.

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.
