The senior of Lannister home, Lord Tywin, gives lessons of diplomacy to Jaime, who showed himself rather odd in a skirmish with Ned Stark. And in conversation the information that the Lannisters have an army consists of 60 thousand soldiers slips. In general, it is strange that every lord has his own army, although, it would seem, the state is united under the authority of a single king. John Snow sworn an oath and became the brother of the Night Watch, going to the stewards of the Lord Commander. He is furious with such an appointment, but then realizes that he is beginning to prepare for taking command. In the capital of the Dothraqi, the sent merchant tries to poison Deyeneris, but Jorah Mormont feels the setting and saves her. Khal Drogo is furious and promises to get Deyeneris an «iron chair» for her, although he did not need it before. Ned Stark continues to follow the straightforward straight path and tells Cersei that he knows everything about her connection with Jaime and that they wanted to kill Bran because he caught them. At the same time, the king gets a mortal wound on the hunt, unthinkably accelerating the development of events. A tangle of intrigues begins to bind around Ned Stark, but he does not seem to see it. Even Spider asks him a question about who poured wine on the hunt to the king, hinting at a seemingly adjusted event. Robert Baratheon appoints Ned Lord Protector until the age of majority Joffrey, but Ned wrote a testament ambiguous, so that Joffrey was not indicated there directly. He enlists the support of the Littlefinger and the Spider in order to remove the Lannisters from power, and Littlefinger asks a direct question about his own profit, but does not receive a satisfactory answer. In the throne room, Joffrey sits on an iron throne, and Ned Stark denies him the right to the throne. The city guard, obeying the Littlefinger, surrounds Ned Stark and once again interrupts his people.
Tywin Lannister seems to be a worthy person, straightforward, hard, honest, although he brought up older children completely unfit. However, it shows that he is purposeful, and children can only be tools for achieving his goals. At the same time, the Lannisters showed everyone a simple, serf-truth — who has the strength, that one has the power and the right, and all sorts of ephemeral things like morality, honor, dignity, etc., do not matter at all. But Ned Stark brought his painful straightforwardness. In this case, the Littlefinger and the Spider are in their style, since they show an even more serene truth — if you do not have the strength, but you have the mind, then you will win by the hands of the one who has the strength. Therefore, they make plans within the plans, within which there are other plans. So these two characters should be closely watched — they will still give the most unexpected heat. It seems that Jorah Mormont loves Deyeneris, so it revolves around her, well, he protects her from everything. But Khal Drogo shows himself even more stupid martinet, rather than even Ned Stark, and if the latter causes sympathy, then this Khal only a feeling of disgust. To fall into a rage and succumb to such a simple provocation is a worthy barbarian. And it is not very clear how he, with 40 thousand horsemen on a foreign land with long logistics supply chains, will win the knights with an army sitting in the cities behind the high walls and knitted in iron, whose number is only one and a half times that of his horde. Although Viserys Targarien is dead, and, like, claiming the throne by Targariens is no longer possible, that is, there will be no support from the population, and this will be an aggressive war, contrary to the gods.
