Outline

King Robert’s eunuch spy, Verys, has uncovered that Daenerys Targaryen is pregnant.

Ned rejects Robert’s plan to assassinate her, considering Daenerys a non-threat. He resigns in protest as Robert’s Hand, angering the king.

Catelyn and her prisoner, Tyrion, arrive at her sister Lysa Arryn’s fortress home in the Eyrie. News of Tyrion’s capture reaches King’s Landing where Jaime Lannister, the Queen’s twin brother, demands answers from Ned.

A vengeful Jaime orders Ned’s men killed and fights Ned until Jaime’s man stabs Ned in the leg from behind, leaving him wounded.
