Dagmer finds some walnut shells, so they know that Bran and Rickon were there, but the hounds can't get the scent.

He announces that he is going to show them what happens to those who are not loyal to him: he hoists two bodies of small children, burned black and beyond recognition, to either side of the main gate. Seeing them, Maester Luwin cries out in grief and anguish, believing Bran and Rickon have been killed. |

+ | At [[Harrenhal]], [[Tywin Lannister]] is discussing the assassination of [[Amory Lorch]] with Ser [[Gregor Clegane]]. Tywin is convinced that it was an assassination attempt on himself, unaware that [[Jaqen H'ghar]] actually killed Lorch on the request of [[Arya Stark]]. Ser Gregor speculates that the [[Brotherhood Without Banners]] may have been responsible. Enraged, Tywin orders Gregor to burn out villages and farms in reprisal for this assassination attempt. Tywin later suspects that Arya is highborn, because she doesn't pronounce "m'lord" the way commoners do and says "my lord" instead, possessing an educated vocabulary. Arya makes the excuse that her mother, whom she said was a handmaiden for years to royalty, had taught her to speak properly like them. |

Sansa is perturbed by his "hateful speech," but Sandor cautions that a day will come when his penchant for violence is all that stands between her and her "beloved" King [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]]. |

As she will be expected to marry and conceive a son with Joffrey when she begins menstruating, Sansa panics and frantically tries to get rid of the bloody sheets to remove the evidence.

+ | Terrified of being brought to Joffrey, Sansa is instead brought before Queen Regent [[Cersei Lannister]], who in her own way tries to comfort her. Cersei reveals that King [[Robert Baratheon]] had abandoned her to hunt as she birthed each of her children, but that her brother [[Jaime Lannister]] insisted on being by her side the whole time, noting that Sansa should never expect such devotion from Joffrey. Cersei says that while Sansa will never love Joffrey, she will love their children and advises Sansa to love no one but her children — whom a mother can't help but love — because "the more people you love, the weaker you are." When Sansa asks if she should not love Joffrey, Cersei only answers, "You can try, little dove." |

+ | At King [[Robb Stark]]'s army camp in the [[Westerlands]], close to an unidentified keep, [[Alton Lannister]] returns as an envoy giving [[The Night Lands|Queen Cersei's response]] to Robb's peace terms. Robb is unsurprised that she rejected them and imprisons Alton with his cousin [[Jaime Lannister]]. The nurse [[Talisa Stark|Talisa Maegyr]] discusses medical supplies she needs with Robb. Robb suggests she accompany him to the [[Crag]] to acquire the supplies she needs. That night, Jaime kills Alton to lure the guard, [[Torrhen Karstark]], into his cell. Jaime strangles Torrhen and escapes but is soon recaptured. Torrhen was the son of Lord [[Rickard Karstark]], one of the major nobles from the North. Lord Rickard demands Jaime's execution in revenge, regardless of his protected status as both a prisoner of war and a valuable political hostage. [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn]] is forced to argue for Jaime's life. Catelyn confronts Jaime and tells him that he has no honor. Jaime bitterly explains that his vows as a knight required him to defend the innocent and serve the king, but [[Aerys II Targaryen|his king]] was slaughtering the innocent. Jaime considers concepts like "honor" and "loyalty" naïve at best and hypocritical at worst. Jaime asserts that he has only been with Cersei and begins to ridicule [[Eddard Stark]], Catelyn's late husband, by bringing up the shame of Eddard fathering an illegitimate child with another woman. This brings Catelyn to breaking point and she asks for [[Brienne of Tarth|Brienne]]'s sword. |

She and Jon argue about freedom, his oaths, and who is invading whose lands. Jon tells Ygritte his father was Ned Stark and as Northman, he has the blood of the [[First Men]] just like she does, to which Ygritte asks Jon why the Watch fights the wildlings. She states that the animosity of the southerners toward the Wildlings is arbitrary, given that the Wildlings are only distinguished from them by living north of the Wall when it was constructed. She mocks Jon's sexual inexperience, surmising that he is a virgin. She taunts him by offering to teach him how to have sex. She escapes and leads him into an ambush. Ygritte says that Jon should have taken her when he had the chance. |

Quaithe knows that Jorah once betrayed Daenerys by spying on her. Quaithe warns Jorah that the man who stole the dragons is already with Daenerys. Jorah finds Daenerys, in the company of [[Kovarro]], pleading with the council of [[The Thirteen]] to find her dragons. The warlock [[Pyat Pree]] confesses to stealing the dragons and declares Xaro the King of Qarth. Doubles of the warlock then magically appear behind the other members of the Thirteen and slit their throats, leaving only Pyat Pree and Xaro. Xaro secretly entered into an alliance with Pyat Pree to become king. They urge Daenerys to find her dragons at the [[House of the Undying]]. |

||
− | == |
+ | ==Quotes== |
− | *The title of the episode comes from a line by [[Catelyn Stark]] to [[Jaime Lannister]], the Kingslayer: "You are a man without honor." |
||
− | *Tywin Lannister states that the current civil war in the Seven Kingdoms is being called "the War of Five Kings". This is the first time that the conflict has been named on-screen (though the formal name is ultimately the "[[War of the Five Kings]]"). |
||
− | *In the "ThronesCast" interview series, actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (who plays Jaime Lannister) mysteriously refers to a scene in this episode as his favorite moment in the series and his favorite scene he's ever acted in. He later explained in the HBO featurette for this episode that he was referring to the scene between Jaime and Alton Lannister.<ref>"A Man Without Honor" HBO featurette</ref> |
||
− | *Tyrion made similar comments to Ygritte's back in Season 1 when he visited the Wall, pointing out that the "[[Free Folk|wildlings]]" are basically just those people whose ancestors were unfortunate enough to happen to be living north of the Wall when it was built. Both the inhabitants of [[the North]] (south of the Wall, ruled by the Starks) and the wildlings are descended from the [[First Men]]. They have much closer ethnic ties to each other than the foreign [[Andal]] invaders who now dominate all of southern Westeros. |
||
− | *According to episode director David Nutter, the episode was filmed not long after the footage of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi's death was circulating heavily in the news, during which Gaddafi was surrounded by a frenzied mob eager to exact "eye for an eye" vengeance. Nutter said that he was loosely inspired by the visual energy of this footage when he was shooting the scene in which Jaime Lannister has been recaptured after killing Rickard Karstark's son, and is dragged back into camp by an angry mob of Northern soldiers who want to immediately kill him.<ref>"A Man Without Honor" HBO featurette</ref> |

+ | '''Catelyn''': "And gag him!"<br /> |
||
+ | |||
+ | '''___________________________________________________''' |
||
+ | |||
+ | '''Catelyn''': "You are no knight. You have forsaken every vow you ever took."<br /> |
||
+ | '''Jaime''': "So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your [[Tywin Lannister|father]] despises the [[Aerys II Targaryen|King]]? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another. Where did you find this [[Brienne of Tarth|beast?]]"<br /> |
||
+ | '''Catelyn''': "She is a truer knight than you will ever be, Kingslayer."<br /> |
||
+ | '''Jaime''': "Kingslayer. And what a king he was! Here's to Aerys Targaryen, the second of his name, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm, and to the sword I shoved in his back!"<br /> |
||

+ | '''Jaime''': "Do you know I've never been with any woman but Cersei? So in my own way, I have more honor than poor old dead Ned. What was the name of the [[Jon Snow|bastard]] he fathered?"<br /> |

||
+ | '''Jaime''': "No, that wasn't it. Snow, a bastard from the North. Now when- when good old Ned came home with some whore's baby, did you pretend to love it? No. You're not very good at pretending. You're an honest woman. You hated that boy, didn't you? How could you not hate him? The walking, talking reminder that the honorable Lord [[Eddard Stark]] ''fucked'' another [[Wylla|woman]]."<br /> |
||
+ | |||
+ | ==Behind the scenes== |
||
+ | *The title of the episode comes from a line by [[Catelyn Stark]] to [[Jaime Lannister]], the Kingslayer: "You are a man without honor." |
||
+ | * The soundtrack playing over the credits is a rendition of the [[Themes and leitmotifs (Game of Thrones)#House Greyjoy theme|House Greyjoy theme]]. It did not appear in the [[Game of Thrones: Season 2 (Music from the HBO Series)|official soundtrack release]]. |
||
+ | *Tywin Lannister states that the current civil war in the Seven Kingdoms is being called "the War of Five Kings." This is the first time that the conflict has been named on-screen - though the formal name is ultimately the "[[War of the Five Kings]]." It is referred to in dialogue as the "War of ''the'' Five Kings" in Season 4 episode "[[The Lion and the Rose]]". |
||
+ | *Tywin claims that every child alive still knows Aegon the Conqueror's name 300 years after his death. This is incorrect because at that point of the show, the year is 299 AC, and Aegon died on 37 AC, thus 262 years passed since his death. Note that the years in Westeros are counted from Aegon's conquering of the realm, not from the year he died. |
||
+ | *In the "ThronesCast" interview series, actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (who plays Jaime Lannister) mysteriously refers to a scene in this episode as his favorite moment in the series and his favorite scene he's ever acted in. He later explained in the HBO featurette for this episode that he was referring to the scene between Jaime and Alton Lannister.<ref>"A Man Without Honor" HBO featurette</ref> |
||
+ | *Tyrion made comments similar to Ygritte's back in Season 1 when he visited the Wall, pointing out that the "[[Free Folk|wildlings]]" are basically just those people whose ancestors were unfortunate enough to happen to be living north of the Wall when it was built. Both the inhabitants of the [[North]] (south of the Wall, ruled by the Starks) and the wildlings are descended from the [[First Men]]. They have much closer ethnic ties to each other than the foreign [[Andals|Andal]] invaders who now dominate all of southern Westeros. Both groups even have the same religion, worshiping the [[Old Gods]], as [[Osha]] pointed out in Season 1. |
||
+ | *According to episode director David Nutter, the episode was filmed not long after the footage of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi's death was circulating heavily in the news, during which Gaddafi was surrounded by a frenzied mob eager to exact "eye for an eye" vengeance. Nutter said that he was loosely inspired by the visual energy of this footage when he was shooting the scene in which Jaime Lannister has been recaptured after killing Rickard Karstark's son, and is dragged back into camp by an angry mob of Northern soldiers who want to immediately kill him.<ref>"A Man Without Honor" HBO featurette</ref> |
||
+ | *Daenerys says that Viserys "would have let 1,000 men rape me if it had got him the crown". Actually, his words were much nastier: "I would let his [Drogo's] whole tribe fuck you, all 40,000 men and their horses too, if that's what it took" ("[[Winter Is Coming]]"). |

||
+ | ===Notes=== |
||
− | There are several changes from the source material. |
||
+ | {{Notelist}} |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 1|Scene 1]]: Theon sleeps with a Winterfell servant in Chapter 50, Theon IV but it is Kyra rather than Osha. Kyra has not been established in the TV series. Kyra does not leave his bed during the night as Osha has here. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 2|Scene 2]]: The body of Drennan is similarly discovered in Chapter 50, Theon IV. Another of Theon's men (Squint) is found in the moat, savagely killed by the Direwolves. The escapees used the hunter's gate to escape but their route is not specified in the show. |
||
− | **Because Theon was not seduced by Osha he does not get mocked by Lorren. However, he does beat another of his men (Urzen) when annoyed after the escape. |
||
− | **Dagmer remains at Torrhen's Square in the books so is not present. His role is adapted from the book character Reek (actually, [[Ramsay Snow]] in disguise) who is a freed captive at Winterfell who assists and advises Theon. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 3|Scene 3]]: Theon hunts for the boys with hounds and horses as in the books. |
||
− | **Along with Luwin he also forces Farlen to accompany him rather than having his own Master of Hounds in the books; while Farlen is established in the TV series he does not participate in the hunt. |
||
− | **Theon's line about it being better to be seen as cruel than foolish is adapted from an almost identical thought he has in the book. |
||
− | **Luwin's comments on hunting and his council about mercy are very similar to the book with the omission of the advice be gentle with the Reed children, who in the books escaped with Bran and Rickon but are absent at this time on the show. |
||
− | **In Theons point of view we learn that he had been attracted to Meera Reed, who's character in season 2 was largely composited into Oshas, tho Theon and Meera never had sex. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 4|Scene 4]]: Bran recalls his escape from Theon in Chapter 69, Bran VII. |
||
− | **Bran left the castle and then sent the direwolves ahead to form the trail that Theon followed while they hid elsewhere. |
||
− | **The boys do not reach a farm before hiding from pursuit. |
||
− | **The characters of [[Billy]] and [[Jack]] do not appear in the books. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 5|Scene 5]]: Jon speaks with Ygritte as his captive in Chapter 51, Jon VI. |
||
− | **Jon lets Ygritte go immediately after deciding to spare her in the books. |
||
− | **However they spend more time together before Qhorin arrives because Jon and Stonesnake undertook the ambush alone, after climbing the cliff face. |
||
− | **They do not sleep next to one another and do not discuss Jon's virginity. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 6|Scene 6]]: Jon speaks with Ygritte as his captive in Chapter 51, Jon VI. |
||
− | **Jon reveals his Stark blood to Ygritte at this point in the books. |
||
− | **They do discuss their shared ancestry at this point but Ygritte illustrates it more directly by telling Jon the tale of Bael the Bard, a member of the Free Folk who stole away a long dead Lady Stark and fathered her children. |
||
− | **They do not discuss the oath of celibacy although Jon does have a similar discussion with another wildling [[Tormund]] in book 3 ''A Storm of Swords'' chapter 15, Jon II. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 7|Scene 7]]: Arya briefly recalls the burning of Harrenhal in chapter 26, Arya VI. |
||
− | **Arya does not serve as Tywin's cupbearer, but Roose's cupbeaer, and does not speak to him directly in the book. |
||
− | **Arya thinks more about the burning of Harrenhal when she arrives there in chapter 30, Arya VII but does not touch on the role of Rhaenys and Visenya. |
||
− | **Daenerys muses about the history of Rhaenys and Visenya chapter 63, Daenerys V but not specifically about their role in the Wars of Conquest. |
||
− | **Dark Sister is not mentioned in ''A Clash of Kings'' but was referenced in the ''Dunk and Egg'' prequel novellas. |
||
− | **Arya does not name Ser Amory Lorch and the Tickler in ''A Clash of Kings''. Her first two names are Chiswyck, a Lannister man-at-arms, and the castle understeward Weese. Since neither are as high profile there is no brutal investigation such as Tywin orders in the show. |
||
− | **The deaths at Harrenhal are attributed to a ghost by some, the Brotherhood Without Banners are not suggested as involved. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 8|Scene 8]]: Sansa thanks Sandor for saving her during the riots in chapter 52 Sansa IV. |
||
− | **Much of the dialogue here is very similar to the books but the conversation is shorter. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 9|Scene 9]]: Daenerys speaks to Xaro about his proposal in chapter 40, Daenerys III. |
||
− | **Daenerys's dragons are not stolen in the book. |
||
− | **She speaks to Xaro about his proposal and again rejects it in this chapter but the scene in the show is only loosely analogous to the equivalent point in the book. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 10|Scene 10]]: Jon speaks with Ygritte as his captive in chapter 51, Jon VI. |
||
− | **They touch on the wildling cultural differences to the Seven Kingdoms and the importance of their freedom during the discussion. |
||
− | **They discuss the possibility of Jon joining the Free Folk. |
||
− | **Ygritte does not directly reference Jon's virginity in the discussion. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 11|Scene 11]] and [[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 12|Scene 12]]: In the book Ser Cleos Frey (also a Lannister cousin) is responsible for delivering peace terms to King's Landing and he returns in chapter 45, Catelyn VI. |
||
− | **His return is to Riverrun rather than to Robb's camp and he is met there by Catelyn, who does not rejoin Robb in the book. |
||
− | **There is no Battle of the Yellow Fork in the books. |
||
− | **Robb captures Ashemark before marching on the Crag in the books. |
||
− | **The Crag is not expected to surrender to Robb in the books. |
||
− | **Cleos' return is coupled with an attempt to free Jaime by his escort so when Catelyn questions him she calls him dishonorable; when Robb questions Alton he calls him honorable. |
||
− | **Talisa Maegyr is not present in the books. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 13|Scene 13]]: Theon's hounds lose the trail in chapter 50, Theon IV but they are by a stream in the woodland rather than reaching a farm. |
||
− | **[[Ramsay Snow|"Reek"]] suggests to Theon that the boys may be hiding in a nearby mill rather than Dagmer finding the walnut shells. |
||
− | **[[Ramsay Snow|"Reek"]] shows Theon that he has brought a bag of Bran and Rickon's clothes with him, suggesting to the reader that he may stage a ruse. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 14|Scene 14]]: Daenerys speaks to Jorah before going to the House of the Undying in chapter 40, Daenerys III. |
||
− | **In the book their conversation is focused on the marriage proposal and lack of aid she has received. |
||
− | **Since the dragons are not stolen in the book the scene in the episode is very different to the source material. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 15|Scene 15]]: Jon speaks with Ygritte as his captive in chapter 51, Jon VI. Jon is captured by the wildlings in chapter 68, Jon VIII. |
||
− | **Ygritte tells Jon that Mance would take him in the chapter 51. |
||
− | **Jon lets Ygritte go in the book rather than recapturing her and chasing her a second time. He then rejoins the other Night's Watch scouts. |
||
− | **Jon is ambushed and captured while he is still with Qhorin in the book. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 16|Scene 16]]: Sansa has a nightmare about the riots in chapter 52 Sansa IV. This short scene is very similar to the book's description of the dream. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 17|Scene 17]]: Sansa awakens from a nightmare to find that she has had her first period in chapter 52 Sansa IV. |
||
− | **Sansa's distraught reaction is similar but in the book, after she has tried to cut away the sheet, she tries to burn the mattress rather than flipping it over. |
||
− | **Shae is not serving as Sansa's handmaid at this point in the book and is not present for this scene. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 18|Scene 18]]: An added scene based on a sequence in chapter 52, Sansa IV. |
||
− | **Sansa is discovered by her handmaids when her efforts to burn the mattress fill her chamber with smoke. Shae is not present and no-one tries to keep word from reaching the Queen to protect Sansa from being made to sleep with Joffrey, although that is Sansa's main fear in the book. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 19|Scene 19]]: An added scene based on a sequence in chapter 52, Sansa IV. It is Sansa's hand maids who discover her rather than Sandor in the book. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 20|Scene 20]]: Sansa speaks to Cersei about motherhood in chapter 52, Sansa IV. |
||
− | **Cersei's tale about the birth of Joffrey is directly from the book. |
||
− | **Cersei's advice about love being a weakness has been adapted from the book. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 21|Scene 21]]: Jaime is not a point of view character in the book so there is no analogous scene to this one. |
||
− | **Ser Alton does not appear in the books. |
||
− | **Cleos was unaware of the plot and was not involved in any manner in the escape attempt. Jaime did not kill him. |
||
− | **The "fat Lannister" Jaime mentioned may be a reference to his Aunt Genna, the mother of Cleos. |
||
− | **Willem Frey's wedding is not mentioned in the books. Willem Frey is Cleos' son in the books and likely too young to be the character discussed in the scene. |
||
− | **Jaime was a squire during the fight with the Kingswood Brotherhood in the book but for Lord Sumner Crakehall rather than Ser Barristan Selmy. |
||
− | **Torrhen Karstark was slain by Jaime at the Battle of the Whispering Wood rather than during the escape attempt. |
||
− | **Reference is made to Jaime attempting to escape in chapter 39 Catelyn V. |
||
− | **Tyrion sent a party of men with the returning Cleos Frey who broke him free of Riverrun. |
||
− | **Jaime did kill several men during the escape attempt in the book. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 22|Scene 22]]: Daenerys speaks to Quaithe in chapter 40, Daenerys III. |
||
− | **Jorah does not meet with Quaithe alone in the books. |
||
− | **Quaithe is similarly enigmatic in the books but her dialogue with Daenerys focuses on her homeland of Ass'hai and the return of magic to the world rather than Old Valyria and the theft of the dragons. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 23|Scene 23]]: Since there is no dragon theft there is no analogous scene to the council meeting in the book. |
||
− | **The Thirteen are not murdered in the books. |
||
− | **Xaro is not allied with Pyat Pree in the books. |
||
− | **The dragons were not stolen in the books, Pree simply invites Daenerys to the House of the Undying. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 24|Scene 24]]: Since there is no dragon theft there is no analogous scene to Pree's repeated invitations in the books. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 25|Scene 25]], [[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 26|Scene 26]] and [[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 27|Scene 27]]: Reference is made to Jaime attempting to escape in chapter 39 Catelyn V. |
||
− | **Jaime Lannister killed Torrhen Karstark, and his brother Eddard, during the [[Battle of the Whispering Wood]]. |
||
− | **Lord [[Rickard Karstark]] is fighting in the Westerlands and while bitter about the deaths of his sons at the Battle of the Whispering Wood is not present to demand vengeance in the book. |
||
− | **This sequence is a condensation of longer plot threads in the books. |
||
− | **Catelyn therefore does not have to defend Jaime against the vengeance of Robb's bannermen. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 28|Scene 28]]: Catelyn decides to speak to Jaime, bringing Brienne with her in chapter 55, Catelyn VII. |
||
− | **Her decision is prompted by receiving news that Theon has hung her sons from the walls of Winterfell. |
||
− | **This has not yet occurred in the show so her motivation is the imminent danger to Jaime from her vengeful lords. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 29|Scene 29]]: Catelyn interrogates Jaime in chapter 565, Catelyn VII. |
||
− | **The part of their discussion focusing on Jaime attacking Bran already featured in "[[Fire and Blood]]." |
||
− | **The show omits the discussion of the knife the [[Catspaw assassin]] used, which proved to Catelyn that Littlefinger lied to her, and that Tyrion was innocent. Instead, it's just implied that she knows he betrayed Ned and at this point she doesn't trust anything he says. |
||
− | **The part of their discussion about the deaths of Rickard and Brandon was adapted for a scene between Eddard and Jaime in "[[Lord Snow]]." |
||
− | **The part of their discussion about vows and honor is drawn directly from the book. |
||
− | **The chapter ends with Catelyn asking for Brienne's sword just as the scene does. |
||
− | *[[A Man Without Honor recap#Scene 30|Scene 30]]: Cersei breaks down about the safety of her children in chapter 20, Tyrion IV. |
||
− | **It is Myrcella rather than Joffrey that she is concerned about. |
||

"A Man Without Honor"[3] is the seventh episode of the second season of Game of Thrones. It is the seventeenth episode of the series overall. It premiered on May 13, 2012 on HBO. It was written by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, and directed by David Nutter.
Premise
Jaime meets a distant relative; Dany receives an invitation; Theon leads a search party; Jon loses his way in the wilderness.[5]
Synopsis
At Winterfell
At Winterfell, now held by the ironborn, Theon Greyjoy awakens to find that Osha is gone and she has escaped with Hodor, Bran Stark, Rickon Stark and their direwolves. Theon berates Black Lorren for allowing them to escape. When Lorren counters that Theon is also to blame for sleeping with Osha and letting his guard down, Theon furiously beats him. Theon leads the ironborn on horseback to hunt down the boys with hounds to track them. The search leads them to a shepherd's farm, but the farmer says that he hasn't seen anyone. Dagmer finds some walnut shells, so they know that Bran and Rickon were there, but the hounds can't get the scent. Theon tells them the hunt is over and to return Maester Luwin to Winterfell: he knows where they are, and his mercy has been exhausted.
Theon returns to Winterfell. He announces that he is going to show them what happens to those who are not loyal to him: he hoists two bodies of small children, burned black and beyond recognition, to either side of the main gate. Seeing them, Maester Luwin cries out in grief and anguish, believing Bran and Rickon have been killed.
At Harrenhal
At Harrenhal, Tywin Lannister is discussing the assassination of Amory Lorch with Ser Gregor Clegane. Tywin is convinced that it was an assassination attempt on himself, unaware that Jaqen H'ghar actually killed Lorch on the request of Arya Stark. Ser Gregor speculates that the Brotherhood Without Banners may have been responsible. Enraged, Tywin orders Gregor to burn out villages and farms in reprisal for this assassination attempt. Tywin later suspects that Arya is highborn, because she doesn't pronounce "m'lord" the way commoners do and says "my lord" instead, possessing an educated vocabulary. Arya makes the excuse that her mother, whom she said was a handmaiden for years to royalty, had taught her to speak properly like them.
In King's Landing
In King's Landing, Sansa Stark comes to thank Sandor "The Hound" Clegane for saving her life during the recent riot in the city and says that he was very brave. Sandor simply says that a dog doesn't need courage to fight off rats. Sansa is perturbed by his "hateful speech," but Sandor cautions that a day will come when his penchant for violence is all that stands between her and her "beloved" King Joffrey.
Sansa awakens in her bed from a nightmare, only to find the sheets covered in blood because she has had her first period. As she will be expected to marry and conceive a son with Joffrey when she begins menstruating, Sansa panics and frantically tries to get rid of the bloody sheets to remove the evidence. Shae tries to help Sansa hide the sheets but Sandor finds them.
Terrified of being brought to Joffrey, Sansa is instead brought before Queen Regent Cersei Lannister, who in her own way tries to comfort her. Cersei reveals that King Robert Baratheon had abandoned her to hunt as she birthed each of her children, but that her brother Jaime Lannister insisted on being by her side the whole time, noting that Sansa should never expect such devotion from Joffrey. Cersei says that while Sansa will never love Joffrey, she will love their children and advises Sansa to love no one but her children — whom a mother can't help but love — because "the more people you love, the weaker you are." When Sansa asks if she should not love Joffrey, Cersei only answers, "You can try, little dove."
Privately, Cersei meets with Tyrion and expresses regret at having children with her own brother Jaime. She wonders if Joffrey's violent personality is the price of her and Jaime's sins. Tyrion earnestly points out that her other two children, Myrcella and Tommen, are good and decent children. Cersei and Tyrion share an odd moment of sympathy.
In the Westerlands
At King Robb Stark's army camp in the Westerlands, close to an unidentified keep, Alton Lannister returns as an envoy giving Queen Cersei's response to Robb's peace terms. Robb is unsurprised that she rejected them and imprisons Alton with his cousin Jaime Lannister. The nurse Talisa Maegyr discusses medical supplies she needs with Robb. Robb suggests she accompany him to the Crag to acquire the supplies she needs. That night, Jaime kills Alton to lure the guard, Torrhen Karstark, into his cell. Jaime strangles Torrhen and escapes but is soon recaptured. Torrhen was the son of Lord Rickard Karstark, one of the major nobles from the North. Lord Rickard demands Jaime's execution in revenge, regardless of his protected status as both a prisoner of war and a valuable political hostage. Catelyn is forced to argue for Jaime's life. Catelyn confronts Jaime and tells him that he has no honor. Jaime bitterly explains that his vows as a knight required him to defend the innocent and serve the king, but his king was slaughtering the innocent. Jaime considers concepts like "honor" and "loyalty" naïve at best and hypocritical at worst. Jaime asserts that he has only been with Cersei and begins to ridicule Eddard Stark, Catelyn's late husband, by bringing up the shame of Eddard fathering an illegitimate child with another woman. This brings Catelyn to breaking point and she asks for Brienne's sword.
Beyond the Wall
Jon Snow is still separated from the Night's Watch scouting group led by Qhorin. He attempts to locate them, traveling with his wildling prisoner Ygritte. She and Jon argue about freedom, his oaths, and who is invading whose lands. Jon tells Ygritte his father was Ned Stark and as Northman, he has the blood of the First Men just like she does, to which Ygritte asks Jon why the Watch fights the wildlings. She states that the animosity of the southerners toward the Wildlings is arbitrary, given that the Wildlings are only distinguished from them by living north of the Wall when it was constructed. She mocks Jon's sexual inexperience, surmising that he is a virgin. She taunts him by offering to teach him how to have sex. She escapes and leads him into an ambush. Ygritte says that Jon should have taken her when he had the chance.
In Qarth
Daenerys Targaryen is desperate to find her stolen dragons. Ser Jorah Mormont returns and she orders him to find them. Xaro Xhoan Daxos claims to be distressed at breaking his promise to protect her, fearing that his word will be publicly seen as worthless. Jorah questions Quaithe of Asshai. Quaithe knows that Jorah once betrayed Daenerys by spying on her. Quaithe warns Jorah that the man who stole the dragons is already with Daenerys. Jorah finds Daenerys, in the company of Kovarro, pleading with the council of the Thirteen to find her dragons. The warlock Pyat Pree confesses to stealing the dragons and declares Xaro the King of Qarth. Doubles of the warlock then magically appear behind the other members of the Thirteen and slit their throats, leaving only Pyat Pree and Xaro. Xaro secretly entered into an alliance with Pyat Pree to become king. Pyat Pree urges Daenerys to find her dragons at the House of the Undying as the three flee.

Quotes
Sansa Stark: "I beg pardon, Ser. I should have come to you after, to thank you for saving me. You were so brave."
The Hound: "Brave? A dog doesn't need courage to chase off rats."
Sansa: "Does it give you joy to scare people?"
The Hound: "No, it gives me joy to kill people. Spare me. You can't tell me Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell never killed a man."
Sansa: "It was his duty. He never liked it."
The Hound: "Is that what he told you? He lied. Killing is the sweetest thing there is."
Sansa: "Why are you always so hateful?"
The Hound: "You'll be glad of the hateful things I do some day, when you're Queen and I'm all that stands between you and your beloved King."

Theon Greyjoy: "I'm looking at spending the rest of my life being treated like a fool and a eunuch by my own people!"
___________________________________________________
Cersei Lannister: [to Sansa] "Permit me to share some womanly wisdom with you on this very special day. The more people you love the weaker you are. You'll do things for them that you know you shouldn't do. You'll act the fool to make them happy, to keep them safe. Love no one but your children. On that front a mother has no choice."
Sansa: "But shouldn't I love Joffrey, Your Grace?"
Cersei: "You can try, Little Dove."
___________________________________________________
Cersei: "Sometimes, I wonder..."
Tyrion Lannister: "What?"
Cersei: "If this is the price for what we've done. For our sins."
Tyrion: "Sins? The Targaryens..."
Cersei: "Wed brother and sister for hundreds of years, I know. It's what Jaime and I would say to each other in our moments of doubt. It's what I told Ned Stark when he was stupid enough to confront me. Half the Targaryens went mad, didn't they? What's the saying? 'Every time a Targaryen is born, the gods flip a coin.'"
Tyrion: "You've beaten the odds. Tommen and Myrcella are good, decent children, both of them."
___________________________________________________
Rickard Karstark: "Any man who stands between a father and his vengeance asks for death!"
___________________________________________________
Jaime Lannister: "Thank you for fighting on my behalf, Lady Stark. I would have come to your defense, but ..."
Catelyn Stark: "Take him to the stockades. Bind him with every chain you can find!"
Jaime: "You've become a real she-wolf in your later years. There's not much fish left in you."
Catelyn: "And gag him!"
___________________________________________________
Catelyn: "You are no knight. You have forsaken every vow you ever took."
Jaime: "So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another. Where did you find this beast?"
Catelyn: "She is a truer knight than you will ever be, Kingslayer."
Jaime: "Kingslayer. And what a king he was! Here's to Aerys Targaryen, the second of his name, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm, and to the sword I shoved in his back!"
Catelyn: "You are a man without honor."
Jaime: "Do you know I've never been with any woman but Cersei? So in my own way, I have more honor than poor old dead Ned. What was the name of the bastard he fathered?"
Catelyn: "Brienne."
Jaime: "No, that wasn't it. Snow, a bastard from the North. Now when- when good old Ned came home with some whore's baby, did you pretend to love it? No. You're not very good at pretending. You're an honest woman. You hated that boy, didn't you? How could you not hate him? The walking, talking reminder that the honorable Lord Eddard Stark fucked another woman."
Behind the scenes
- The title of the episode comes from a line by Catelyn Stark to Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer: "You are a man without honor."
- The soundtrack playing over the credits is a rendition of the House Greyjoy theme. It did not appear in the official soundtrack release.
- Tywin Lannister states that the current civil war in the Seven Kingdoms is being called "the War of Five Kings." This is the first time that the conflict has been named on-screen - though the formal name is ultimately the "War of the Five Kings." It is referred to in dialogue as the "War of the Five Kings" in Season 4 episode "The Lion and the Rose".
- Tywin claims that every child alive still knows Aegon the Conqueror's name 300 years after his death. This is incorrect because at that point of the show, the year is 299 AC, and Aegon died on 37 AC, thus 262 years passed since his death. Note that the years in Westeros are counted from Aegon's conquering of the realm, not from the year he died.
- In the "ThronesCast" interview series, actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (who plays Jaime Lannister) mysteriously refers to a scene in this episode as his favorite moment in the series and his favorite scene he's ever acted in. He later explained in the HBO featurette for this episode that he was referring to the scene between Jaime and Alton Lannister.[6]
- Tyrion made comments similar to Ygritte's back in Season 1 when he visited the Wall, pointing out that the "wildlings" are basically just those people whose ancestors were unfortunate enough to happen to be living north of the Wall when it was built. Both the inhabitants of the North (south of the Wall, ruled by the Starks) and the wildlings are descended from the First Men. They have much closer ethnic ties to each other than the foreign Andal invaders who now dominate all of southern Westeros. Both groups even have the same religion, worshiping the Old Gods, as Osha pointed out in Season 1.
- According to episode director David Nutter, the episode was filmed not long after the footage of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi's death was circulating heavily in the news, during which Gaddafi was surrounded by a frenzied mob eager to exact "eye for an eye" vengeance. Nutter said that he was loosely inspired by the visual energy of this footage when he was shooting the scene in which Jaime Lannister has been recaptured after killing Rickard Karstark's son, and is dragged back into camp by an angry mob of Northern soldiers who want to immediately kill him.[7]
- Daenerys says that Viserys "would have let 1,000 men rape me if it had got him the crown". Actually, his words were much nastier: "I would let his [Drogo's] whole tribe fuck you, all 40,000 men and their horses too, if that's what it took" ("Winter Is Coming").

Notes
- ↑ In "Winter Is Coming," which takes place in 298 AC, Sansa Stark tells Cersei Lannister that she is 13 years old and Bran Stark tells Jaime Lannister that he is 10 years old. Arya Stark was born between Sansa and Bran, making her either 11 or 12 in Season 1. The rest of the Stark children have been aged up by 2 years from their book ages, so it can be assumed that she is 11 in Season 1. Arya is 18 in Season 8 according to HBO, which means at least 7 years occur in the span of the series; therefore, each season of Game of Thrones must roughly correspond to a year in-universe, placing the events of Season 2 in 299 AC.
