 More check-ins: Joffrey visits Sansa, interrupting a pretty serious snark-fest between her and Septa Mordane. He gives her a necklace (and a kiss!) and promises never to mistreat her again. Meanwhile, Theon finds his favorite whore Ros on the kingsroad, heading to the greener (fleshier?) pastures of the capitol. She gives him one more flash of her cooter. That's the only appropriate word for the circumstances.
-Ned assembles his daughters and announces that he's sending them home for their own safety. Sansa, her head full of dreams, protests that she has to marry Joffrey: "He'll be the greatest king there ever was, a golden lion, and I'll give him sons with [[Hair of Gold|beautiful blond hair]]!" "The lion's not his sigil, idiot," says Arya with a trace of smugness. "He's a stag, like his father." "He's not, he's nothing like that old drunk king," Sansa retorts. Both of them are completely oblivious to the [[Eureka Moment]] kindling behind their father's eyes. Ned sends them from the room and attends his giant book, ''The Lineage and Histories of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms'', where he sees that black hair is [[In the Blood|a Baratheon family trait]]. Every Baratheon has it, as does Gendry and the whore's infant from last episode. Every Baratheon has it... [[Chocolate Baby|except Joffrey]].

 It's Vaes Dothrak, and there's a feast. Things are going pretty well for Drogo and Dany until Viserys stumbles in, either drunk or more insane than usual. (He was drunk in the book, but the TV show doesn't say anything either way.) When the Dothraki shame him, he draws his sword, threatening to spill blood in the sacred city. He demands the [[Title Drop|golden crown]] he was promised in exchange for his sister keeping her skin intact. Khal Drogo agrees. He pulls off his medallion-encrusted belt and tosses it into a pot over the cookfire, where the gold begins to melt. To quote the book, "Viserys began to scream the high, wordless scream of the coward facing death." In a moment, he's got his golden crown... but he doesn't seem to enjoy it very much. He hits the ground with clanking finality and stays there.
