Tyrion puts a stop to King Joffre's mistreatment of Sansa and also blackmails his cousin Lancel, Cersei's lover, into being his spy. Petyr Baelish visits King Renly but Catelyn is not pleased with his presence. He offers to help protect her daughters but a trade for Jaime is the only solution.

- Robb Stark has another victory against the Lannister army. Arya Stark is imprisoned in a stable of an old castle with Gendry and Hot Pie, and they witness the torture and death of prisoners by sadistic torturers. Gendry is chosen to be tortured, but Lord Twyn Lannister arrives and interrupts the torture and assigns Arya for the kitchen. After acknowledging that Robb has defeated the Lannister army, Joffrey tortures Sansa with a crossbow and then he orders Meryn Trant to beat and strip her in front of the court. Tyrion arrives and stops the mistreatment of Sansa. Littlefinger arrives at Renly's camp to avoid him to go to King's Landing. Then he delivers Ned's bones to Catelyn and proposes to exchange Arya and Sansa for Jaime. There is a meeting between Stannis and Renly but they do not have an agreement. Daenery and her group go to the City of Qarth and The Thirteen in principle do not welcome her. Davos brings Melisandre to the shore and the witch delivers a creature made of shadow.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- Robb wins another easy surprise victory over Lannister troops, but southern nurse Lady Talisa Maegyr efforts to help the many wounded fores him to consider the cruel injustice of an ill-considered civil war. Hand Tyrion steps in to curb Joffrey publicly flogging his loyal bride Sansa as 'punishment' for the Stark rebellion, but the harlots Tyrion sends as private distraction get a provocative taste of Joffrey's sadist streak. Catlyn pleads an alliance with Robb to unwilling king Renly and rudely dismisses, despite the gift of Ned's cremated remains to entomb, Littlefingers' idea for a private settlement based on princely prisoners exchange. When regent Cersei sends her lover-cup-bearer Lancel Lannister to order Pycelle's release, Hand Tyrion blackmails him to spy on her to avoid exposure of their incestuous affair. At the gates of rich Qarth city, only the personal guarantee of the immigrated member of the governing Thirteen prevents mother of dragons Daenerys's Dotraki band being left to starve outside the gates. After Renly turns the anti-Lannister alliance suggested by Catelyn with rival king Stannis (and Robb), the latter sets a one day ultimatum to submit and sends his ex-pirate cousin Davos Seaworth to get red witch Melisandre to force a magical advantage in a hidden cove.—KGF Vissers
- Robb's Army attacks a Lannister Army at Oxcross and claims another victory, meeting a healer girl named Talisa Maegyr in the aftermath. In response, Joffrey publicly abuses Sansa as revenge for Robb's victories until Tyrion intervenes. The dwarf sends two prostitutes to the young King to calm his tempers, but Joffrey makes one of them beat the other brutally, thus threatening Tyrion not to interfere with his business. Catelyn attempts to unite the Baratheon brothers against the Lannisters, but Stannis demands Renly's loyalty to him as king. Littlefinger visits Catelyn and offers to trade Jaime for her daughters. Davos witnesses Melisandre giving birth to a shadow creature. Tyrion releases Pycelle and dismisses him from the Small Council. When Tyrion discovers Cersei's incestuous relationship with their cousin, Lancel, he blackmails Lancel into spying on Cersei, threatening to reveal the relationship to Joffrey. Arya and Gendry are taken to Harrenhal castle as captives. Prisoners are systematically tortured to death until Tywin arrives and demands they be used as labor. Recognizing Arya is a girl, he makes her his servant without knowing her true identity. After an exhausting journey through the desert, Daenerys arrives at the prosperous city of Qarth. Daxos, a member of the Council of Thirteen, persuades fellow councilmen to allow Daenerys and her retinue to enter the city.
- Robb continues to raid Lannister patrols and captures their men. He refuses to torture them as he doesn't want the Lannisters to have an excuse to torture his sisters. Robb falls in love with Talisa (Oona Chaplin) a nurse tending to his armies after the bloodshed on the battlefield. Talisa performs amputation right on the field, to save human lives. Talisa is angry with Robb for starting a war that is consuming innocent lives. Talisa is from Volantis.
Catelyn tries to convince the Baratheon brothers Renly and Stannis to abandon their quarrel and unite against the Lannisters, but Stannis demands Renly submit to his command. Stannis will only restore Renly to his council. Stannis wants Catelyn to support him as Ned used to support his claim to the Iron Throne. But Renly says no-one wants Stannis as their King. Baelish visits her (at Renly's camp) and offers a trade of Jaime for her daughters (Petyr indicates that both Sansa and Arya are in the custody of the Lannisters). Petyr also tries to align with Renly and says that when he arrives at the gates of KIng's Landing, he can manipulate things so he is met with open gates. Petyr meets Margaery and reveals that he knows Renly is gay and having a relationship with her brother Loras. Catelyn is pissed at Petyr for betraying Ned, but Petyr manages to convince her of his innocence. He hands over Ned's bones to Catelyn as a gesture of peace.
Melisandre gives birth to a shadow creature born from Stannis. Stannis asks Davos (Liam Cunningham) (his trusted advisor) to smuggle Melisandre beneath Renly's castle, where she gives birth to the creature who vanishes inside the castle tunnels
Sansa is abused by Joffrey (he aims a crossbow at her in open court) in revenge for Robb's victories. But Joffrey knows that Cersei wants Sansa alive, so he has her badly beaten up by his guards. Tyrion intervenes (& takes Sansa away, defying Joffrey in open court. Sansa still insists to Tyrion that she wants to get married to Joffrey) and in return, Joffrey is cruel to the prostitutes Tyrion sends him as "gifts" (The idea was to keep Joffrey busy and get some of his "poison" out). Tyrion releases Pycelle, but fires him from the Small Council. Tyrion also finds out about the incestuous relationship between Cersei and their cousin, Lancel (Eugene Simon), and forces the latter to spy on her by threatening to reveal it to Joffrey.
Arya and Gendry are taken as captives to the castle of Harrenhal, where prisoners are tortured until death. Arya recites the names of all the people she wants to kill, every night before she goes to sleep. Tywin (Charles Dance) arrives, stops the torture (he says that the prisoners can be used as slaves), and picks Arya (as he instantly recognizes her as a girl, dressed as a boy for safe travel) as his servant without knowing her true identity.
One of Daenerys's scouts brings word that the city of Qarth will welcome the Mother of Dragons. The city is 3 days march to the coast. But it is risky as Jorah says that Qarthians are notorious for shutting their gates on travelers and let them die in the desert. After her exhausting journey through the desert, Daenerys arrives at the gates of the prosperous city of Qarth, where Daxos (Nonso Anozie), a member of the Council of Thirteen, convinces the others (by giving his person guarantee. Daxos was himself once a refugee and knows Daenerys's plight) to let her caravan enter the city. The Thirteen wants to see the dragons, but Daenerys does not want to reveal them. She threatens to burn the city to the ground once the dragons grow up.
