When Jaime makes his bargain, Tywin immediately pounces on it but tells Jaime that Tyrion is going to be judged guilty anyway but merely sent to the Night's Watch, not something that Jaime had in mind and probably what Tywin was hoping for, when Jaime walked into that trap.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Tywin stating that Tyrion's not on trial for being a dwarf is this. In the context, he's right, since Tyrion ''is'' charged with regicide. But the fact is this is the same man who has unjustifiably hated and abused his son for being an "ill made, spiteful creature" who killed his mother at childbirth. He also sees the trial as doing away with Tyrion for good, already declaring his guilt to Jaime and noting that he intends to send him to the Night's Watch and rid himself of him forever.
* InadequateInheritor: The one rather large snag to Tywin Lannister's dreams of a proud Lannister legacy. He has no credible heirs. Jaime notes that with him serving in the Kingsguard, Cersei being Queen and grandson Tommen on the throne, the line would likely fall to all kinds of distant relatives and perhaps, [[ButtMonkey Lancel]].

Let me guess, says Tyrion as Jaime enters his cell, I've been pardoned. He's led up to The Throne Room, where a crowd is waiting. They stand when Tommen does. He recuses himself from serving as judge, formally appoints Tywin, Mace, and Oberyn in his place, and departs. Tyrion of House Lannister, says Tywin, you stand accused of regicide. Are you guilty? Tyrion denies it, and says that Sansa is innocent, as far as he knows.
The first witness (we see) is Meryn Trant, testifying to threats Tyrion made to Joffrey. Tyrion mouths off at him, prompting Tywin to tell him to speak only when spoken to. Next comes Pycelle, reeling off a list of poisons that Tyrion stole from him. Joffrey was murdered by a rare poison called The Strangler, one of those poisons, and was concealed in Sansa's hairnet. He also testifies that Sansa was seen fleeing with Dontos Hollard. Cersei testifies to Tyrion's threat to turn her joy to ashes, saying that it was prompted by her discovering his whoring. Varys testifies to yet more threats by Tyrion ("kings dropping like flies"), and that he didn't seem gladdened by the Red Wedding. At this point, Tyrion is allowed to ask one question: did he forget all the praise Varys had given him? Varys says he doesn't forget anything, and court ajourns for an hour.
Just before the trial resumes, Jaime tells Tyrion about how Tywin has promised to have him sent to the wall instead of killing him if he confesses and asks for mercy. Understandably sceptical Tyrion cites the fate of Ned Stark, however as the trial resumes he seems to consider doing so, not because he trusts Tywin to keep his word, but because he trusts Jaime.

After taking the witness stand and identifying herself as Sansa's maid, she tells the court how Tyrion and Sansa poisoned the king and how much he hated Joffrey, Cersei and Tywin, before conveniently corroborating Pycelle's earlier testimony as she describes how he stole his poison to do the deed. As Margaery looks on guiltily and Loras has a mild expression of disbelief, Oberyn interjects to ask why Tyrion would reveal something like this to his wife's maid, at which point Shae claims Tyrion forced her to be his sex slave against her will on the [[GameOfThronesS1E9Baelor eve of his first battle, where he ordered her to "fuck him like it was his last night in this world"]]. A heartbroken Tyion's face contorts with rage and humiliation as the crowd laughs and jeers at him (something not helped by Oberyn asking to clarify if she really did fuck him to such a high standard). As she describes how she "kissed him where he wanted, licked him where he wanted, let him... put himself where he wanted," Tyrion turns his face away, looking on the verge of sobbing at this betrayal by the woman he loved... only for Shae to punctuate this with a CallBack to [[GameOfThronesS2E10ValarMorghulis the moment where she comforted a sobbing Tyrion after the Battle of Blackwater when he had lost everything where they proclaimed their love for each other]], which she twists into another way of humiliating and demeaning him, dismissing it as another thing Tyrion forced her to do for his own gratification.
Looking very red eyed, Tyrion can only respond with "Shae...please dont". As she looks him in the eye, she tearfully yet spitefully reminds him [[GameOfThronesS4E2TheLionAndTheRose I am a whore, remember?]], causing Tyrion's tearful face to contort with unrestrained rage.

We begin with Davos and Stannis , the latter sailing into '''Braavos''' to make his case before the Iron Bank. Stannis' argument boils down to "give me money because I'm the ''real'' king." The Iron Bank doesn't really feel that the real king has any real chance of winning, and refuses. Davos saves the day by pointing out that Tywin is 67. Who will run things once he dies? The little kid Tommen, the despised Cersei, or the oathbreaker Jaime? Stannis pays his debts, as Davos' hand bears witness.

The director always made sure that we saw both Margaery and Loras\' reactions, and Loras\' expressions tend to mirror his sister\'s.
* CallBack: Margaery and Loras' mostly synchronized reactions in this episode are reminiscent of how they were usually on the same wavelength when they had dined with Cersei and Joffrey in "Valar Dohaeris." Even when the Tyrell siblings don't speak, they always seem to be attuned to each other's feelings.

A dragon flies up out of the ravine and remedies both of those situations, unleashing fire upon the herd and taking one of the freshly cooked sheep away to eat.

We begin with Davos and Stannis , the latter sailing into '''Braavos''' to make his case before the Iron Bank. Stannis' argument boils down to "give me money because I'm the ''real'' king." The episode starts peacefully: a shepherd girl Iron Bank doesn't really feel that the real king has any real chance of winning, and refuses. Davos saves the day by pointing out that Tywin is watching over her goats 67. Who will run things once he dies? The little kid Tommen, the despised Cersei, or the oathbreaker Jaime? Stannis pays his debts, as Davos' hand bears witness.

The next day, Ramsay praises Reek for remaining loyal, and rewards him with a bath. He asks a question of his servant: do you love me? (Yes, of course, milord.) Ramsay informs him that he's needed to help take a castle. In order to do this, Reek will have to play a role, to pretend to be someone he's not: Theon Greyjoy.

At '''King's Landing''', The Small Council waits for the Hand to arrive. Oberyn, somewhat miffed, asks if they always get up this early, and what he's going to be master of. Whatever it is, it won't be ships, as that went to Mace. Tywin shows up, announcing that the meeting will be short, as the the trial happens today. Sandor Clegane has been spotted in the Riverlands. Tywin authorizes an 100-coin bounty on him. Daenerys Targaryen reigns in Meereen. Varys takes a second to sum her up, with an implied criticism at Cersei for retiring Barristan Selmy. Tywin says it openly: firing him was stupid. Oberyn mentions that he saw the Unsullied while in Essos, and that they're pretty impressive (just not in bed). Tywin, oddly, comments that dragons don't win wars, soldiers do. Asking for a pen and paper, he asks Varys if his birds can get into Meereen.
Oberyn and Varys meet in the Throne Room after the council breaks up. Varys asks if Oberyn really went to Essos. Oberyn says yes, he was there five years, despite being a prince. Most people never want leave their little area, but Oberyn is not most people. However surprised Varys was at that, Oberyn is more surprised when Varys claims he was asexual even before his castration. Varys claims that he's happy to be free of desire, having seen the ruin it can bring, and noting that lack of desire can free a person for other things. He nods at the Iron Throne before leaving.
Let me guess, says Tyrion as Jaime enters his cell, I've been pardoned. He's led up to The Throne Room, where a crowd is waiting. They stand when Tommen does. He recuses himself from serving as judge, formally appoints Tywin, Mace, and Oberyn in his place, and departs. Tyrion of House Lannister, says Tywin, you stand accused of regicide. Are you guilty? Tyrion denies it, and says that Sansa is innocent, as far as he knows.
The first witness (we see) is Meryn Trant, testifying to threats Tyrion made to Joffrey. Tyrion mouths off at him, prompting Tywin to tell him to speak only when spoken to. Next comes Pycelle, reeling off a list of poisons that Tyrion stole from him. Joffrey was murdered by a rare poison called The Strangler, one of those poisons, and was concealed in Sansa's hairnet. He also testifies that Sansa was seen fleeing with Dontos Hollard. Cersei testifies to Tyrion's threat to turn her joy to ashes, saying that it was prompted by her discovering his whoring. Varys testifies to yet more threats by Tyrion ("kings dropping like flies"), and that he didn't seem gladdened by the Red Wedding. At this point, Tyrion is allowed to ask one question: did he forget all the praise Varys had given him? Varys says he doesn't forget anything, and court ajourns for an hour.
Just before the trial resumes, Jaime tells Tyrion about how Tywin has promised to have him sent to the wall instead of killing him if he confesses and asks for mercy. Understandably sceptical Tyrion cites the fate of Ned Stark, however as the trial resumes he seems to consider doing so, not because he trusts Tywin to keep his word, but because he trusts Jaime.
Unfortunately this is when Cersei calls her next witness....and Tyrion's jaw drops in utter shock and horror as he sees [[TheBusCameBack Shae]] walk into the court.
After taking the witness stand and identifying herself as Sansa's maid, she tells the court how Tyrion and Sansa poisoned the king and how much he hated Joffrey, Cersei and Tywin, before conveniently corroborating Pycelle's earlier testimony as she describes how he stole his poison to do the deed. As Maergery looks on guiltily Oberyn interjects to ask why Tyrion would reveal something like this to his wife's maid, at which point she claims Tyrion forced her to be his sex slave against her will on the [[GameOfThronesS1E9Baelor eve of his first battle, where he ordered her to "fuck him like it was his last night in this world"]].

Looking very red eyed, Tyrion can only respond with "Shae...please dont". As she looks him in the eye, she tearfully yet spitefully reminds him [[GameOfThronesS4E2TheLionAndTheRose I am a whore, remember?]], causing Tyrion's tearful face to contort with unrestrained rage. After this she further implicates Sansa (while lying to the court about how Tyrion was obsessed with fucking her) and ends her statement as the court gasps in shock once again.

As Maergery looks on guiltily Oberyn interjects to ask why Tyrion would reveal something like this to his wife's maid, at which point she claims Tyrion forced her to be his sex slave against her will on the [[GameOfThronesS1E9Baelor eve of his first battle, where he ordered her to "fuck him like it was his last night in this world"]]. A heartbroken Tyion's face contorts with rage and humiliation as the crowd laughs and jeers at him, (something not helped by Oberyn asking to clarify if she really did fuck him to such a high standard). As she describes how she "kissed him where he wanted, licked him where he wanted, let him...put himself where he wanted" Tyrion turns his face away, looking on the verge of sobbing at this betrayal by the woman he loved....only for Shae to punctuate this with a CallBack to [[GameOfThronesS2E10ValarMorghulis the moment where she comforted a sobbing Tyrion after the Battle of Blackwater when he had lost everything where they proclaimed their love for eachother]], which she twists into another way of humiliating and demeaning him, dismissing it as another thing Tyrion forced her to do for his own gratification.
Looking very red eyed, Tyrion can only respond with "Shae...please dont". As she looks him in the eye, she tearfully yet spitefully reminds him [[GameOfThronesS4E2TheLionAndTheRose I am a whore, remember?]], causing Tyrion's tearful face to contort with unrestrained rage. After this she further implicates Sansa (while lying to the court about how Tyrion was obsessed with fucking her) and ends her statement as the court gasps in shock once again.
In a dangerously quiet tone, a seemingly broken Tyrion decides to make a confession.
-->'''Tyrion''': ''(quietly)'' Father....I wish to confess... ''(louder and almost smouldering with fury)'' I wish to confess.
-->'''Tywin''': You wish to confess?
-->'''Tyrion''': ''(physically seething with rage as he looks behind him to address the audience of nobles)'' I saved you. I saved this city and all your '''worthless lives''' ''(rises from his seat as a slow rendition of the Rains of Castamere begins to play, literally hissing with fury)'' '''I should have let Stannis kill you all.'''
-->'''Tywin''': ''(as the crowd shouts in outrage)'' Tyrion! Do you wish to confess?
-->'''Tyrion''': Yes father. Im guilty, guilty! Is that what you want to hear?
-->'''Tywin''': You admit you poisoned the king?
-->'''Tyrion''': No, of that I'm innocent. I'm guilty of a far more monstrous crime. Im guilty of '''being a Dwarf.'''
-->'''Tywin''': ''(visibly losing his temper)'' You are not on trial for being a dwarf.
-->'''Tyrion''': Oh yes I am! I've been on trial for that my entire life.
-->'''Tywin''': ''(now definitely pissed off)'' Have you nothing to say in your defence?
-->'''Tyrion''': Nothing but this ''(smirks)'' I did not do it! ''(turns to Cersei)'' I did not kill Joffrey '''BUT I WISH THAT I HAD!''' Watching your vicious bastard die, gave me more relief '''THAN A THOUSAND LYING WHORES!''' ''(looks contemptuously at Shae before turning back to the crowd)'' I ''wish'' I was the monster you think I am! I ''wish'' I had enough poison for the whole pack of you! I would ''gladly'' give my life to watch you all swallow it!
-->'''Tywin''': Sir Meryn! escort the prisoner back to his cell!
-->'''Tyrion''': ''(literally growling at this point)'' I will not give my life for Joffrey's murder, and I know I will get no justice here! So I will let the gods decide my fate. [[CallBack I demand a trial by combat.]]
As the court room erupts, the camera then pans over the faces of many of the attendants. Margaery and Loras looking both nervous and ever so slightly guilty in their knowledge of Tyrion's innocence, Shae looking shocked at this turn of events and visibly wounded by Tyrion's furious rebuke, Oberyn looking intrigued at this unexpected turn of events, poor Jaime on the edge of tears at seeing his last ditch effort to save Tyrion crumble before him, Cersei looking horrified that her efforts to frame Tyrion were all in vain... and finally Tywin delivering the single most furious and withering DeathGlare yet seen in the entire series at Tyrion, who merely smirks furiously back, his gaze not wavering

Just before the trial resumes, Jaime tells Tyrion about how Tywin has promised to have him sent to the wall instead of killing him if he confesses and asks for mercy. Understandably sceptical Tyrion cites the fate of Ned Stark, however as the trial resumes he seems to consider doing so, not because he trusts Tywin to keep his word, but because he trusts Jaime.

The episode starts peacefully: a shepherd girl is watching over her goats as they graze on the edge of a ravine, clearly bored. A dragon flies up out of the ravine and remedies both of those situations, unleashing fire upon the herd and taking one of the freshly cooked sheep away to eat. Cut to Dany, ruling Meereen and receiving petitioners, starting with the girl's father. Dany pays the man for his sheep (all of them, it turns out) and his trouble. The next petitioner is more difficult: the head of the most influential family in Meereen, whose father Dany had crucified for the crime, he explains, of being outvoted on the matter of the 162 slaves. Dany eventually agrees to allow his father to be buried in the traditions of Meereen.
