* HiddenDepths: Even though Lancel is pulled into the vanguard by Sandor Clegane, he still fights until he is badly wounded by an arrow, and tries to return to the castle walls with an unwilling Joffrey.
** Stannis also proves that he is a class A BadAss in this episode, rousing his men with a sentence, landing ashore in the first boat and reaching the wall first, as well as being the first man to climb over it and slaughtering many defenders.
