Lord Stark can't convince royal youth buddy Robert Baratheon, fondly sharing memories, his throne is safe and well defended, the king expects an unpredictable war. After Brandon's potentially fatal fall, his family desperately hopes for his recovery, mother Catelyn even turning against lord Eddard and suggesting it wasn't an accident. Jaime Lannister hopes his secret doesn't wake up, but the boy will. Prince Joffrey Baratheon's happiness strolling with betrothed Sansa Stark is ruined when her impish kid sister Anya resists him putting butcher's son Mycah in his humble place, ending with her wolfhound biting the princely hand. Sansa's cowardly silence results in both youngsters facing paternal discipline and a death sentence for the hound, shockingly shifted, given its escape, onto utterly innocent canine sibling Lady. After pestering noble brother Jaime and abusing prince Joffrey, vile dwarf Tyrion Lannister semi-tauntingly accompanies Eddard Stark's noble but illegitimate son Jon Snow, who solemnly and irrevocably joins the northern border's Nightwatch order. Horde lord Khal Drogo soon accepts his young wife Daenerys Targaryen adopting the brothel tricks of a pleasure slave, hoping to become more then his sex toy and pretender Viserys Targaryen's strategic alliance guarantee.
