"Game of
Thrones" - Valar Dohaeris - March 31, 2013
We
pick up right where we left off: Samwell Tarley is running through a blinding
blizzard. He comes upon one of his brothers from the Night's Watch. He is
holding is head in his arms. He has been decapitated by a White Walker. More
seem imminent and one approaches and scrabbles after him but Jon's direwolf,
Ghost and his other brothers arrive and set fire to him. The commander asks if
he sent the ravens. He did not. It was Samwell's only job. He turns to the
others and says they need to get back to wall to warn everyone because if they
don't, before winter is done, everyone they've ever known will be
dead.
Meanwhile,
Jon Snow is finally brought to Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall. He gains
his trust by telling him that he wants to turn traitor and join the Wildlings
because of what he saw at Craster's keep and what "took" the baby boy that
Craster left for it. He says when he told the commander about the White Walker
that he saw and that he knew and that he wants to fight for the side that fights
for the living.
in
King's Landing Tyrion is stewing. He was injured in the battle-- at the
direction of his sister-- and been taken down several pegs in standing now that
his father Tywin is Hand to King Joffrey. He asks for a meeting with Tywin. He
wonders where his reward is for leading the charge in the battle, for being
injured, for showing cunning and daring. His father lets him know in no
uncertain terms, without a shred of sentimentality that he is ashamed of him,
still angry that he "killed" his mother by being born, and that he has been a
disappointment his whole life with his love for booze and whores. He says he
will be compensated eventually but he will not get what he thinks he's
"entitled" to-- Casterley Rock-- but whatever Tywin deems appropriate, what is
"suited" to his accomplishments and a position that suits him and a suitable
wife..
Davos
Seaworth is saved from a godforsaken rock in the ocean by his pirate friend
Salladhor Saan. Davos lost his son in the battle. He wants to get to Stannis
Baratheon but his Saan tells him that he remains under the sway of Melisandre at
Dragonstone. She has been burning men alive that spoke against her, Stannis is a
reclues, and there's no talking to him since he lost the battle. Davos begs him,
mostly he just wants to kill Melisandre. Saan tries to dissuade him. He says
when Davos is dead he'll gather his bones and let his widow wear them around her
neck.
Davos
gets a drop off and Stannis doesn't seem so psyched to see him. Frankly, he
seems depressed. He argues with Melisandre, calls her his enemy. She challenges
him and says she could've saved them all that day but Davos convinced Stannis
not to bring her. She taunts him about the men burning up in the wildfire, like
his son. He tries to attack her and Stannis has him locked away. Melisandre says
she'll pray for him.
Robb
Stark, newlywed, is still busy making plans. He wants to fight the Lannisters,
who he says have been running from them. They come upon a decimated city. One
man lives and Talisa, Robb's wife, attends to him as he tells his tale. Robb
orders his mother locked up, still angry that she allowed Jaime Lannister to
leave to ransom Arya and Sansa.
Sansa
and Shae play a game on the shore, pretending where the various ships are going.
Littlefinger arrives and tells Sansa he saw her mother recently and she wants to
see her and Arya. He tells Sansa he's working on an assignment far away and when
he sets sail he might be able to take her but she'll need to be ready to go at a
moment's notice. Ros tells Shae to watch out for Sansa with
Littlefinger.
Lady
Margaery and King Joffrey are being carried through the city when she stops to
go to speak to the orphans of the battle of Blackwater Bay. She gives them toys
and food and says she and the king will take care of them. Later that night she
and Loris have dinner with Joffrey and Cersei, and Cersei is her usual cool,
cruel self, questioning her about stopping with the orphans. Cersei says
Margaery should be careful since they were attacked their once. Joffrey says
she's blowing it out of proportion. And she immediately accedes and says that
he's his father's son but not everyone can have a king's bravery.
Heading
towards Slavers Bay, Danaerys' dragons are a lot bigger as they fly over the
ship she was able to get. She says they need to grow even bigger. She says she
also needs an army. Jorah wants to enlist a slave army but she doesn't like that
idea. The Dothraki unfortunately are not taking to the high seas so well. She
points out that Jora shouldn't mock them since they followed her, and are the
first Dothraki to sail on the "poisoned waters." He says they followed strength
and she'll need to exhibit even more to get others to follow her.
They
arrive at Astapor and appraise the army on offer: the Unsullied. They are
expertly trained, incredibly loyal, and unafraid of death. The Master, Kraznys
Mo Nakloz who owns the Unsullied insults Danaerys and Jorha as he gives his tour
of the soldiers, and a woman, Missandei, translates for him. To prove how tough
they are he goes up to one and slices off his nipple. (Ewwww.) The soldier shows
no pain and responds that he is happy to serve. Kraznys says as part of their
practice, they also toughen them up by giving them a silver coin, sending them
to the slave market, and killing a child in front of its mother, paying the
child's owner for the trouble. (In short, he is despicable.) He says he has
8,000 soldiers to sell and she needs to make her mind soon. She is disgusted
knowing this means that there are 8,000 dead babies and wrestles with the idea
of being a slave owner.
Jorah
points out that she would clearly make a kinder master at the very least and see
that they're properly fed and sheltered. As they talk, they follow a mischievous
little girl through the marketplace and a creepy cloaked figure trails them. The
little girl smiles at Dany, charming her. She rolls a ball toward Danaerys and
gestures for her to open it. As she is about to open it, the cloaked figure
lunges. Jorah grabs him and Danaerys falls. The ball opens and a horrible,
clearly deadly insect-like creature crawls out. The cloaked figure kills it and
saves her.
The
little girl opens her mouth to display blue-stained teeth, hisses an
otherworldly hiss and then jumps in the water. They turn and she is now standing
on a rooftop behind them. She was sent by the warlocks.
Danaerys
thanks the cloaked figure, who reveals himself to have been the commander of
King Robert Baratheon's guard, Barristan Selmy. He's been searching for
Daenaerys since King Robert's death. Selmy asks forgiveness in failing to
protect her family, takes a knee before her, calls her queen and asks to join
her queen's guard. He promises he won't fail her this time.
