The episode begins with the Hound in a fight - that ends very quickly, as he knocks his opponent over the edge of the battlement they're fighting on. The opponent doesn't land so much as splash on the courtyard below, and everyone claps.
 
Line 49 ⟶ 60:
* [[Dark Reprise]]: Of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZdhSqMRRGI "The King's Arrival"] as Robert's bastards are killed.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Robb, of all people.
* [[Death Byby Adaptation]]: Daenerys' mare. In the books she's still alive.
* [[Dirty Old Man]]: Craster
* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: Oh, [[The Eeyore|Dolorous Edd]]. "I was born in a place like this. Later I fell on hard times."
Line 56 ⟶ 67:
* [[Ironic Echo]]: Ros chastises a prostitute for overdoing her performance with precisely the same words Littlefinger used on her when she did the same thing, shortly after getting employed at his brothel.
* [[Just a Kid]]: Cersei involks this in her conversation with Tyrion.
{{quote| '''Cersei''': Robb Stark is a child.<br />
'''Tyrion''': ''[as if talking to a child]'' Who's won every battle he's fought! Do you understand we're ''losing'' the war? }}
* [[Knight Templar]]: Stannis will not make peace with Renly as long as he keeps declaring himself King. The same goes with Robb for declaring the North and the Riverlands an independent kingdom.
Line 73 ⟶ 84:
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Tyrion, from the moment he arrives in King's Landing. Littlefinger tries it, but is quickly put in his place by Cersei.
** Arguably Littlefinger proves his point perfectly; no matter how much Cersei threatens him, he is far too essential to kill off thanks to his network of contacts.
* [[Remember the New Guy?]]: Dolorous Edd is suddenly part of Lord Commander Mormont's group, without the scene from the book where he meets up with them.
** Partially justified in that the Night's Watch has ridden in large numbers.
* [[Spared Byby the Adaptation]]: Doreah, who in the books dies in the Red Waste. Also Mhaegen, who dies, trying - unsuccessfully - to protect Barra.
* [[Torture Always Works]]: The Gold Cloaks interrogate (torture) Tobho Mott about Gendry's whereabouts. He tells them everything.
* [[The Ugly Guy's Hot Daughter]]: Gilly, of course.
Line 82 ⟶ 93:
