History Recap / GameOfThronesS3E5KissedByFire

* IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten: A varient of this is used by Ygritte on Jon that amounts to essentially ''"If you're really a wildling, fuck me"''.

** Gendry refers to Arya as "milady", as he did when he first found out who she was in Season 2. It ends up being a case of HarsherInHindsight as in the original scene he used her title to be respectful and then to tease her - here he's genuinely miserable about what her status represents and why he can't come with her to Winterfell.

** Gendry refers to Arya as "milady", as he did when he first found out who she was.

* StealthPun: 'Nothing' is old slang for female vagina, being the nothing about which there is much ado. Jon Snow knows nothing, alright.

** He could have [[TakeAThirdOption taken a third option]] by imprisoning Lord Karstark and promising not to harm him if Karstark's men fight on his side. He is actually told he has this option but decides to execute the guy.

* GenreSavvy: Ser Jorah nonchalantly chats with Barristan about the latter's role in Robert's government the first time they're alone together, to find out just how much he knows about Jorah's spying on the Targaryans.

** An InUniverse lampshading when Tyrion tells her sister to stop [[SmugSmiler smiling at him]] as it's [[GenreSavvy making him uncomfortable]].

* PeopleJars: [[spoiler: Stannis' wife Selyse is shown to keep in her bedchamber the bodies of her stillborn children in large jars.]]

* BathtubBonding: Despite at first looking like a simple BathtubScene in a series notorious for its naked people quotient, it quickly becomes obvious that its principal purpose is ''not'' {{Fanservice}} and is a crucial moment in Brienne and Jaime's CharacterDevelopment.
* BerserkButton:
** For Tywin, it seems open defiance from his own children is the one thing that can push him into open anger in an instant.
** Robb shouts in anger for the first time over the murdered Lannister brothers.
** Arya seems to have crossed it after the Hound's victory over Dondarrion. Like Robb, this episode shows her raising her voice in anger for the first time.

* MataHari: Despite being a male character, [[spoiler: Olyvar arguably fits this trope, at least when it comes to Loras.]]

** "Aegon - it sounds like Egg" is a reference to the ''Tales of Dunk and Egg''.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Jaime asks Brienne if she would have obeyed an order from Renly to kill her own family, like how the Mad King had ordered him to kill his. Brienne doesn't know how to respond to that.

* BloodMagic: Lord Beric lights his sword on fire by running a bleeding hand across it.

* TheOathbreaker: Jaime lets his angst pour out. Jon Snow breaks his vows to remain celibate, [[BecomingTheMask pushing him further into the wildling camp]].

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Stannis' wife and daughter are more attractive than they're described in the books.

* SexyDiscretionShot: The show skips over Jon undressing and his sex with Ygritte.

* NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine: Jaime is aware of what this trope implies.
-->'''Bolton:''' I should send you back to Rob Stark.
-->'''Jaime:''' You should. Instead you're sitting here, watching me fail to dinner. Why might that be?
-->'''Bolton:''' Wars cost money. Many people would pay a great deal for you.
-->'''Jaime:''' We both know who would pay the most.

-->'''Gendry:''' You wouldn’t be my family. You’d be mi'lady.

** Shireen sings a song about the world under the ocean, which in books is sung incessantly by her {{Adapted Out}} jester Patchface.

* DefiantToTheEnd: Lord Karstark, though this is not the triumphant moment this trope usually is, and instead cements how far past the MoralEventHorizon he's gone.

* ImprobableAge: Grey Worm in comparison to Ser Jorah and Ser Barriston; justified as all the Unsullied were [[ChildSoldier enslaved at a very young age]].

* DeathGlare: Brienne shoots daggers from her eyes when Jaime insults her for being unable to protect Renly.
