Joffrey lies to the courtly entourage and accuses Arya and her direwolf of ganging up on him. Unwilling to lose favor with her betrothed by publicly exposing his lie, Sansa claims she remembers nothing. Sick of the petty bickering, King Robert chastises his son for allowing himself to be disarmed by the younger girl and declares that the fathers themselves will punish their respective children, dismissing the audience. However, Robert gives in to his wife Cersei’s demands and orders the direwolf killed. Since Nymeria has fled, Sansa’s wolf, Lady, is to be sacrificed. Unable to convince the king otherwise, Eddard takes responsibility for killing Sansa’s pet himself. As he walks to the back of the inn, he encounters Joffrey’s bodyguard, Sandor “The Hound” Clegane, who has ridden down the butcher’s boy and brought in his bloody corpse for the prince.

In the closing scene, Eddard approaches the direwolf Lady and holds her down as he unsheathes a blade. Saddened, he kills the direwolf, who utters a sharp cry of pain. Meanwhile, up North, Bran suddenly awakens from his coma and opens his eyes as Sansa’s wolf is killed.

  1. Cersei will be Cersei, but I honestly don't get how fucking asshole Robert let them murder Lady. Makes no sense. If that was made to a human they would be so alarmed… but since it's a wolf, who cares. Robert got the death he deserved for being such an asshole his whole life.

  2. Part of me hopes Nymeria and her pack come along and rip this bitch to shreds lol. Her smug face and the fact that Lady was killed (was hoping for a miracle when I first started watching this lol) nearly made me not watch this show 😂

  3. Any music nerds catch the House of Black and White/Faceless Men theme at 2:03??
    Considering this is a moment Arya considers the start of her list and her journey to becoming a faceless man, I wouldn't be surprised of Djawadi used this moment as the basis for the House of Black and White music as well.

    So cool!!

  4. I miss this game of thrones. Characters express emotions naturally, the lighting is realistic, there's human conflict instead of supernatural shit. And great music to add to the experience. The show should've ended after season 3.

  5. If only this idiot, Sansa, had confesed and told the truth a direwolfs life would have been saved. She even screams that she doesn't want Lady her own direwolf killed but still doesn't confess that Joffrey had approached and harmed the butchers boy AND tried to kill Arya. From this point on you know Sansa will be a little bitch.

  6. LOL Fucking people still slagging on Sansa for this. ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD Sansa. Forget that Sansa warned Arya to stay out of it. Arya is as bad as Jon now with getting a free pass on everything they do because lemmings love their stubborn, impulsive "hero" types as long as they fight gud. Ugh.
