Synopsis: The hound and another knight are having a battle to entertain King Joffrey on his name day. The hound discards with his opponent quickly, and when another competitor arrives, drunk, Joffrey punishes him, but Sansa, now a full sycophant, gets Joffrey to relent. Tyrion returns to King’s Landing crashing a small council meeting led by Cersei to announce his new role as Hand of the King. Cersei isn’t thrilled. Bran sits at the head of the table at Winterfell, with Maester Luwin listening to the needs of his people. Later, Bran sleeps yet sees through the eyes of Summer, his direwolf. Hodor and Osha take him to the spot he saw in his dream, while they look at a comet in the sky. Bran says it means Robb will win the war, but Osha says it means that Dragons are back. Speaking of dragons, that totally don’t exist anymore that anyone knows, Dany and her dragon babies and Jorah lead the Dothraki through a desert where the heat and starvation are taking a toll on her mission. Dany sends three of her men off to find salvation. The Nightswatch scouting team happens upon Craster’s Keep in the Haunted Forest. They note all of Craster’s daughters, but Jon asks, rhetorically apparently, what Craster does with all his sons.
