* OhCrap: The expression on Jorah's face when Ser Barristan asks to join Danys. Given that the king's bodyguard sees and hears everything that the king does (even more in tbe books where the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard sits on the Small Council) then Barristan might well know about Jorah working as a spy for Varys.

* RuleOfSymbolism: At the dinner table, the Tyrell siblings are seated next to each other, while Cersei and Joffrey are positioned at the opposite ends.

** Melisandre practically drop-punts poor Davos, basically telling him that it's his fault his son is dead because he told Stannis not to take Melisandre to battle--she claims that she could have stopped the wildfire and saved Matthos. What makes this worse is that she probably set the whole thing up as a BatmanGambit to make Stannis more dependent on her and less trusting in Davos' counsel.
