  • Robb recognizes that cousin Aegon is teasing him by sending Margaery to get him for playtime. Privately grumping that he'll shove him in the snow later.
  • Lady Jeyne teasing Allyria about her prudishness towards Aegon since "as Targaryens, they should be use to that kind of talk about brothers."
  • To cover for Robb almost finding out about the plan, Marg has one last strategy to keep Robb distracted: she follows her instincts and kisses him.
  • When Rhaenys finds out about Dany and Sansa sneaking off, she's almost impressed by her aunt's iron will to do this. But then she sees her angry grandmother, and shrinks meekly into herself asking what she's going to do.
    • On a similar note, on leading the two to their room, Margaery hastily escapes their presence as she was an accomplice to it all.
  • While most of the Royal family returns south, there's one other southerner who sticks around unexpectedly: Sandor Cleagane. Who immediately takes to calling Rhaenys the Saucy Snake he needs to look after.
  • The Mummer's play of Rhaegar's rebellion is...something to behold. A bit overacted, but it also makes Robert, Rhaegar and Ned's epic duels seem quite ridiculous.
  • When Aegon finally stops Lady Nymella from storming off, the irritated woman asks what he wants to talk about, and Aegon...finds he didn't plan that far ahead and essentially asks the very basic question, "So, you're from Ghost Hill?" Which was almost a redundant question since they both know she is. But it's enough to break the ice between them.
  • Lady Nymella swears that she will NEVER ride Tessarion back to Ghost Hill. Then Aegon calls her a coward for not rising to the occasion, and she scowls. And Aegon knew he got her.
