Outline

H’ghar takes Arya to a chamber filled with the faces of dead people.

Jaime and Bronn reach the Water Gardens and find Myrcella with Trystane. The Sand Snakes attack them but Dornish guards arrive and arrest everyone.

Jorah and Tyrion are captured by slavers, whom Tyrion convinces to take them both to the fighting pits of Meereen.

Littlefinger informs Cersei that Roose plans to marry Sansa to Ramsay and suggests that he lead the knights of the Vale to Winterfell to defeat whichever weakened side wins the conflict between Roose and Stannis. If successful, Littlefinger will be named Warden of the North.

Olenna arrives in King’s Landing and warns Cersei that imprisoning Loras has jeopardised their alliance. At Loras’ inquest, Loras and Margaery both deny his homosexuality. The male prostitute, Olyvar, contradicts their testimony, and Margaery is arrested for lying to the gods; Tommen is frozen with uncertainty.

In Winterfell, Sansa weds Ramsay, who then rapes her in front of a horrified Theon.
