Storyline

Cersei comes to the funeral of her father Tywin Lannister and blames her brother Jaime for his death. Tyrion arrives at his destination transported in a wooden box and Lord Varys discloses that Jaime had asked him to save his brother. White Rat is murdered in a brothel and Daenerys asks Grey Worm to find the killer. She visits her dragons in the dungeons but they do not respect her. Jon Snow is training a teenager, but Melisandre brings him to talk to Stannis Baratheon. He assigns Snow to convince Mance Rayder to bend his knees for him and make his people fight with his army. Will Mance accept the deal? Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Goofs

Stannis says, "Once the North is won, I'll declare them [the Wildlings] citizens of the realm." Since Westeros is a monarchy rather than nation-state, the correct term is "subjects". See more »

Quotes

Maggy: Three questions you get. You won't like the answers.
Young Cersei Lannister: I've been promised to the prince. When will we marry?
Maggy: You will never wed the prince. You will wed the king.
Young Cersei Lannister: But I will be queen?
Maggy: Oh, yes. You'll be queen... For a time. Then comes another, younger, more beautiful, to cast you down and take all you hold dear.
Young Cersei Lannister: Will the king and I have children.
Maggy: No. The king will have 20 children, and you will have three.
Young Cersei Lannister: That doesn't make sense.
Maggy: Gold will be their crowns. Gold their shrouds.

Crazy Credits

Starting with the first episode of season 5, the opening sequence with the map shows Winterfell in smoke. The castle tower now shows the rotating heraldic of House Bolton, the flayed man (it was the Stark's shadow wolf before). The heraldic of House Stark, the shadow wolf, however, can be seen lying next to the tower on the ground (right side of the tower). After Sansa and Jon recapture Winterfell, the Stark Wolf returns onto the tower. See more »
