* LockedOutOfTheLoop: It's a bit startling to see Daenerys' reaction to the news of Robert's death, and realize this is the first time she's had any kind of up-to-date information on what's happening outside her own storyline.
* LoveConfession: Daenerys asks Jorah why he believes she should sit on the Iron Throne. His overly fervent response of how she not only has the right by birth, but will also be a gentle and wise ruler of the kind that doesn't come along in centuries, creates a moment of awkward silence between the two.

** Theon reuses Robb Stark's threat to "hunt you down and hang you as an oathbreaker." [[FailedAttemptAtDrama The crew just laugh in his face]] and Theon doesn't have a direwolf to gnaw off their fingers.

* PassiveAggressiveKombat: Irri casts a DeathGlare or three at Doreah while she's bonding with the kahlessi, and points out how she's fixed Dany's clothes so she'll favour her with a smile too.

* PuppetKing: Davos warns Stannis that many in his army see him as a pawn dancing to Melisandre's tune and that if he takes King's Landing with her at his side, credit for the victory and him seizing the throne will go to her.

* UpperClassTwit: Tywin's cousin Reginald Lannister is not only useless as an adviser, he is stupid enough to answer back in public. While telling him to go home, Tywin actually tells him that if he wasn't born a Lannister, he'd be scrubbing pots in the kitchens.

* BrutalHonesty: When Davos argues that the noblemen in Stannis's army won't approve of a lowborn former smuggler being put in charge of commanding the attack on King's Landing, Stannis retorts that said nobles should be grateful he doesn't have them all executed for treason for backing Renly over him.

** After getting fed up with his cousin Reginald Lannister's utter incompetence, Tywin banishes him back to Lannisport.

If anything Tywin is a better strategist than tactician usually.


** Actually subverted in the case of Tywin. Despite his previous record, he's at a complete loss as to what he should do, and his advisers are totally useless. Tyrion makes the point that his father is a better tactician than he is a strategist.
