* FirstNameBasis: Brienne not only calls Jaime by his name, she also calls him [[{{Honorifics}} Ser Jaime]] (and does so without any mockery or irony) after he pledges his word to return the Stark girls to Catelyn. It's clear from his reaction how much this affects him.

** In the same conversation, when Tywin justifies not informing Joffrey about the dragons by [[StealthInsult taking an admittedly well-earned shot at his intelligence]], Joffrey responds that he doesn't know enough about the subject because he isn't ''being'' counseled. While obviously Joffrey could and should be taking the initiative to attend Small Council meetings and learn to rule himself, it's also clear that Tywin is deliberately trying to leave Joffrey out of council matters so as to maintain his status as a PuppetKing.



* ProperlyParanoid: Joffrey is very concerned about the potential consequences should Daenerys and her dragons make it to Westeros, despite Tywin's dismissal.



* SanityBall: Stunningly, for the first and probably only time, Joffrey is holding it this episode when he alone seems aware of the dire consequences for himself and the kingdom should Dany and her Dragons come to Westeros. Whether Tywin dismisses the danger entirely or simply knows that there are more pressing issues at hand remains unclear.

* SeriesContinuityError: [[Recap/GameOfThronesS1E4CripplesBastardsAndBrokenThings Prince Viserys]] stated that the dragon skulls got bigger the closer you got to the Iron Throne. Here Lord Tywin says that the skull closest to the Iron Throne was the smallest dragon.

However, it should be remembered that Viserys was only five years old when his family was deposed, so his childhood memories may be inaccurate.

* AdaptationalHeroism: In the books, Jaime has no problem with leaving Brienne behind at Harrenhal, and when he finds out that she's in danger because her father's ransom offer was rejected due to the confusion over the sapphires (which he inadvertently caused), he's irritated but reasons that she's lucky his lie held up and kept her safe for as long as it did. He only changes his mind and decides to go back for her after having a fever-induced dream about her. In the show, however, he shares a heartfelt goodbye with her and leaves her behind with extreme reluctance, and turns around to go back for her the moment he finds out that her ransom was rejected and she'll probably be killed.

Meanwhile, in '''King's Landing''', Sansa is taking her forced wedding to Tyrion about as well as you might expect--she sobs about it to Margaery, going on about how ''stupid'' she was to have ever wanted to come here, and so forth. Margaery tries to cheer her up by looking at the bright side: Sansa's children will inherit the North and even Casterly Rock. Sansa, however, is a bit hung up on having to have sex with someone who is both a Lannister and a dwarf. Said dwarf is not much happier as he bitches to Bronn about the wedding. Tyrion's main complaint is that Shae won't like this at all. Bronn's enlightened response to this boils down to ''yeah, well, fuck Shae''. Shae's just a whore, and Tyrion won't get anywhere if he's desperate to make friends.

** Yunkai's attempt to get rid of Danys with chests of gold and ships to take her army to Westeros also fails, because Danys balks at the thought of leaving thousands of slaves in bondage. And she takes the gold anyway.

** The Yunkai emissary thinks the negotiations are going well, until Danys casually throws a hunk of raw meat into the air and her three dragons fly off their perches and start snapping at it. Things go downhill from there.

** Extremely subtle, but Qyburn has this reaction when needling Jamie over being a killer, a butcher, just like he is accused of. Not out of fear of pissing him off, but when Jamie hints at the reason why he turned Kingslayer, Qyburn's eyes widen slightly, all, "Oh...well that explains ''[[KillThemAll that.]]''"

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Played with. When Jaime starts to sound morally outraged by Qyburn experimenting on living people, Qyburn first asks him how many he's killed (they agree "countless" has a nice ring to it), and then asks him how many he's saved, clearly expecting Jaime not to be able to answer it. To his surprise, Jaime does have an answer: about half a million, the entire population of King's Landing when he stopped the Mad King burning it. However, in his confirmation that he's committed dishonourable killings to save a greater number, he tacitly establishes himself as NotSoDifferent to Qyburn, stopping Jaime from berating him further, and meaning the question had some effect after all.

Spoilers Off - "Details about future episodes should not be on an episode's recap page to begin with; those go in the page for the episode in which they appear. Foreshadowing should be handled delicately; again, mention only the details in the episode in question and not what specifically is being foreshadowed."


** Arya saying her god is Death foreshadows her apprenticeship with the Faceless Men, who worship the God of Many Faces--essentially Death in its various aspects.
** Locke tells Jaime to "buy yourself a golden hand and go fuck yourself with it!" Jaime has a golden hand made on his return to King's Landing, though he's yet to use it in an obscene act of {{twincest}} [[ScrewYourself with Cersei]].
