In King’s Landing Joffrey gets hit with a cow pie and a riot ensues. Sansa is saved from a horrible fate by the Hound. Arya has to hide her face from Little Finger when he comes to meet Tywin. She is then caught with a message she stole and has to quickly find Jaquen before she is discovered. Jon Snow is left to execute a Wildling prisoner but can’t do it. She escapes and in tracking her down he loses contact with his men. Daenerys does the rounds at Qarth trying to find someone willing to loan her some ships. She returns to Xaro’s home to find her retinue slain and her dragons stolen.

Ygritte continues to tease Jon until the Wildlings find them. Theon chases after Bran and Rickon but can’t find them so he turns to torture. Alton Lannister returns from King’s Landing and delivers Cersei’s message to Robb. He is locked in with Jamie who kills him and escapes. Jamie is caught though and Catelyn considers taking his life after several of her men state their desire to do so. Tywin sees through Arya’s act but can’t find the man who tried to kill him. Sansa has her period and Cersei gives her some advice about being a mother. Xaro and the Warlock enact a coup and kill the other members of the thirteen after admitting that they had taken the dragons.

Lannister soldiers slay what remains of the Stark guard and capture Sansa. Arya escapes though with the help of Syrio. Up at the Wall Jon Snow learns of his father's imprisonment. He has bigger problems though when one of the dead bodies he found north of the Wall suddenly comes to life and attacks him. Robb Stark prepares the men of Winterfell for war and has to keep their egos in check. Tyrion and Bronn are captured by the Hill Tribes. He promises them the Vale if they help him return home safely. Sansa begs for mercy for her father and Joffrey agrees if Ned will confess and say that he is the rightful King. Across the Sea Dany asks Drogo to not rape the captured slave women and he agrees.

Dany's child is stillborn and Drogo is a vegetable. She smothers him to death and builds a funeral pyre for him and the Dragons eggs. She then climbs on herself and emerges unscathed with three baby dragons wrapped around her. Joffrey begins his reign with plenty of torture and then forces Sansa to look at her father's head on a pike. Robb Stark is acclaimed King of the North as the men of Winterfell decide that they won't fight for a Baratheon but for themselves instead. Yoren dresses Arya as a boy and shoves her in with the new recruits for the Nights Watch as they head north. Tywin sends Tyrion to be the King's Hand to stop Joffrey from doing more foolish things. Jon Snow decides to ride away and find Robb but Sam and the others stop him and persuade him to return to the Wall. Jeor then leads the men of the Watch north of the Wall to find out what is going on.

News reaches Ned that Robert was wounded by a boar while hunting. Robert makes Ned Regent until Joffrey comes of age. Renly suggests to Ned that he become King to prevent Cersei getting rid of them but Ned won't listen. Littlefinger advises Ned to pay the City Watch to ensure they back him in the coming struggle. Meanwhile Jon Snow and the rest of the new intake are sworn in as men of the Nights Watch. Jon is assigned to be the Personal Steward to the Lord Commander just as his Uncle goes missing north of the Wall. Across the sea Jorah Mormont gives up the chance to return home and instead chooses to foil the assassination attempt on Dany. So outraged by this attack on his wife Khal Drogo vows to conquer the Seven Kingdoms and put their son on the throne.
