* KickTheDog: Tywin has dozens of his own men hanged and sends Gregor Clegane to terrorize the surrounding countryside just to solve one murder, clearly with less interest in finding out who's guilty and more in sending a message about what happens when he's upset.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Discussed in-universe. Tywin comments on Arya's fascination with the dragon riders Visenya and Rhaenys, remarking that most girls would be more interested in romantic tales with flowers and fair maidens. [[Tomboy Arya]] counters by saying that, in her opinion, most girls are stupid.

** Jon Snow treats Ygritte's "Then why are you fighting us?" as this, even though, [[FridgeLogic if he thought about it]], the obvious response would be that the wildlings are coming south with a huge army that's likely to RapePillageAndBurn all the people and places the men of the Night's Watch care about.



* [[FaceDeathWithDignity Face Death With Insults]]: Jaime is as aware as any of them that he is likely to get killed by the mob that night, and continues to insult everyone around him.



* LogicBomb: Jaime cites all the contradictory oaths he had to swear as a reason for [[TheOathbreaker his breaking some of them.]] Catelyn and Brienne are not impressed.



* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: The last time we saw Pyat Pree's duplication trick, it was unclear whether it was real magic or just a trick using a double. [[spoiler: This episode quite clearly confirms that he does have real magic.]]



* [[spoiler:NoPeriodsPeriod: Painfully and terrifyingly averted for Sansa.]]

to:

* [[spoiler:NoPeriodsPeriod: MoralityPet: Further evidence that Arya is one for Tywin, and Sansa is one for the Hound. This episode also confirms that Shae is willing to stick her neck out for Sansa, too.
* [[spoiler: NoPeriodsPeriod:
Painfully and terrifyingly averted for Sansa.]]



* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: Subverted.]] Jaime is genuinely supportive and encouraging to the young cousin who clearly hero-worships him. [[spoiler: He then beats him to death to create a diversion which might let him escape.]]
* RagsToRoyalty: Xaro Xoan Daxos finally achieved this even without marrying Daenarys.



* ShamingTheMob: Played with. Catelyn manages to stop Karstark killing Jaime on the spot, but nobody has any illusions about Jaime's chances of survival when the mob gets increasingly drunk and restless that night.

* YouRemindMeOfX: Arya reminds Tywin of Cersei.

it. Karstark has noticed it too, as he angrily points out that Robb took Talisa with him to negotiate a surrender with another castle.
* YouRemindMeOfX: Arya reminds Tywin of Cersei. We don't see her reaction, but it seems likely that she would have taken it as a ComplimentBackfire.
