Line 8:
Catelyn returns just after sundown; she has found one good reason why House Frey should ally itself with the Starks, and has won Robb his crossing, as well as Lord Frey's levies. In return, Robb: takes on one of Frey's sons, Olyvar, as a squre; trades Arya's hand in [[Arranged Marriage]] to another son, also named Walder; and trades his ''own'' hand in [[Arranged Marriage]] to one of Lord Frey's daughters.

{{quote| '''Tyrion:''' "I was sixteen. My brother Jaime and I were riding when we heard a scream. She ran out onto the road, [[Clothing Damage|clothes half torn off]] and with two men on her heels. Jaime [[Attempted Rape|scared away the men]] easily enough while I [[Naked First Impression|wrapped her in my cloak]]. She was too scared to send off on her own, so while Jaime [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|hunted down the rapers]], I [[Rescue Romance|took her to the nearest inn]] and fed her. Her name was Tysha. She was [[Heartwarming Orphan|a wheelwright's orphan]]. And she was hungry. Together we finished off three chickens and a flagon of wine. Impossible as it seems, there was a time when I was unaccustomed to wine. I forgot how [[Shrinking Violet|afraid I was around girls]], how I was always waiting for them to laugh at me, or look away embarrased, or ask me about [[Overshadowed by Awesome|my tall handsome brother]]. I forgot about everything but Tysha. And somehow [[One Thing Led to Another|I found myself in her bed]]."<br />
'''Bronn:''' "For three chickens? I should hope so!"<br />
'''Tyrion:''' "I didn't last long, I didn't know what the hell I was doing. But she was good to me. She kissed me afterwards... sang me a song... And by morning I was deep enough in love to [[Fourth Date Marriage|ask her for her hand]]. A few lies, a few gold coins, one drunken septon, and there you have it, [[Happily Ever After|man and wife]]. For a fortnight, anyway, until the septon sobered up and told my father."<br />
Line 95:
* [[Theme Naming]]: <ref>Baelor "the Blessed" Targaryen, after whom the Great Sept is named, was zealous in his faith and spent most of his life (not to mention his reign) in pursuit of holiness. In particular, he locked his wives away in a little castle called the Maidenvault so that they would not [[Distracted by the Sexy|tempt him with carnal thoughts]]. (Needless to say, he died without issue, and his uncle Viserys, former Hand of the King, ascended to the throne.) Baelor made a very famous decision between duty and family. And while some Westerosi consider him a saint, others think he was plain crazy.</ref>
* [[The Uriah Gambit]]: Tyrion believes that Tywin placed him in the vangard in an attempt to get him killed, and confronts his father about this. Tywin neither confirms nor denies it, though given his reaction to Tyrion's return in the last episode...
