Well, that was a tense as hell episode. We see Ser Davos plead Stannis’s case and it cuts before any resolution. Yara stages a risky operation to free Theon and comes away empty-handed. We discover Jorah Mormont has been spying on Danaerys for Varys in passing. Then the trial.

Tyrion has certainly screwed up his chances at trial with a career of threatening and insulting Joffrey. I enjoyed reading the faces of Jaime and Margaery during all the testimony. The scene with Jaime and Tywin was amazing to watch: Jaime thinks he’s making a sacrificial play but it turns out he’s just played right into Tywin’s ploy. Pincer move.

And then…Twist! Shae shows up to ruin Tyrion.
