History Recap / GameOfThronesS4E3BreakerOfChains

Jaime passes Tywin as he enters the Sept - dismissing the holy men and the silent sisters. As soon as they're alone, she accuses Tyrion. He did it, he ''said'' he'd do it. She doesn't want a ''trial'', she wants him ''dead'', and starts crying into Jaime's shoulder as she begs him to do it. The physical proximity is a bit too much for them and they start to kiss passionately. She pulls away. "You're hateful.", says Jaime, "Why have the Gods made me love a hateful woman?" and takes her aggressively. Whilst having a conversation consisting of the phrases "this isn't ''right''" and "I don't ''care''", he forces himself on her, ''[[KickTheSonOfABitch right next to the body of their murdered child]]'', which shows how much of an AssholeVictim Joffrey really is.

* KickTheSonOfABitch:

* MentorsNewHope: Tywin is clearly hoping to shape Tommen into something more than a PuppetKing, imparting to him genuine advice and values. That said, he clearly intends for him to be PuppetKing for as long as Tywin himself remains alive, considering his advice basically shapes up to "do what I tell you." Though the overall theme seems to be learn to take wise council and when he comes of age continue doing so, even after Tywin is dead and gone. Though it's self-serving in ensuring Tywin's continued power, imploring Tommen to listen to his advisors is still good advice.

* ShellShockedVeteran: Arya tries to excuse Sandor's Jerkassery by saying that the war did this to him ([[HalfTruth which isn't that far from the truth]], actually).

* MassOhCrap: The rulers of Meereen, first when Daario [[CurbStompBattle effortlessly defeats]] their champion and then when Daenerys starts speaking. Goes UpToEleven when she flings the chains of freed slaves at them and their servants.

* MoralDissonance: Davos calls Stannis out on being willing to use black magic and kinslaying to try to win a war yet unwilling to consider hiring sellswords to try to win a war.

* RealityEnsues: Despite receiving the letter from the Night's Watch imploring him for assistance in the last season finale, Stannis does not immediately leave for the Wall. Due to the severe losses in the battle of the Blackwater and the lack of support from the other lords to his cause, his current host is small and thus he remains in Dragonstone for the time being.

* RogueAgent / PlausibleDeniability: Tywin firmly denies ordering the Mountain to kill Princess Ellia, pointing out that soldiers often commit atrocities in war without their commander's knowledge. Note that Tywin said the exact opposite when criticizing Tyrion back in the Season 1 episode "Baelor".

* StealthInsult: A mild example, when Tywin assures Tommen that he has "the right temperament" to be king. From Tywin's perspective, that means he's naive, malleable, and easy to manipulate, which will allow Tywin to run things while he acts as a figurehead.

** The "Orys I" which Tywin describes must be a composite of various historical Targaryen kings from the books or else wholly original, as he bears no resemblance to the Orys I from the books' backstory, who was the founder of house ''Baratheon'' and never king. The closest comparison to him in the books would be Ronnel Arryn, who was the last King of the Vale before Aegon's Conquest and who was deposed and murdered by his brother, though that came after the Arryns had relinquished their kingship to the Targaryens. [[labelnote:From the books]]During the reign of King Aenys I, Ronnel's brother Jonos and a handful of ambitious nobles, sensing an opportunity in [[InadequateInheritor Aenys's weakness]] to break free of Targaryen rule and regain the Vale's independence, deposed and imprisoned Ronnel. The rebels were soon defeated in battle by a coalition of Vale loyalists, and retreated back to the Eyrie; when Lord Allard Royce, commander of the loyalists, demanded the rebels free and restore Ronnel to lordship of the Vale, Jonos had his brother thrown out the Moon Door. Royce retaliated by beseeching the crown for help, and Prince Maegor arrived with Balerion the Black Dread to reinforce the loyalists. Jonos's co-conspirators betrayed and killed him rather than have the Eyrie suffer Harrenhal's fate, but after they surrendered, [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves Maegor had the rebels all executed]].[[/note]]
