Game of Thrones

Lord Ned Stark is troubled by disturbing reports from a Night's Watch deserter; King Robert and Lannisters arrive at Winterfell; the exiled Viserys Targaryen forges a powerful new allegiance.

As Bran miraculously survives his fall from the tower, Cersei and Jaime plot to ensure his silence; Jon and Tyrion decide to go to the Wall.

Ned probes Arryn's death. Jon takes measures to protect Sam. Tyrion is caught in the wrong place.

Reinstated as the Hand, Ned sits for the King while Robert is on a hunt. Ned issues a decree that could have long-term consequences. Tyrion confesses to his 'crimes'; Joffrey apologizes to Sansa; Viserys receives from Drogo his final payment for Daenerys.

Ned makes a fateful decision. Robb takes a prized prisoner. Dany finds her reign imperiled.

As tragic news spreads across the Seven Kingdoms, Bran and Rickon share a prophetic dream, Catelyn interrogates Jaime about her sons fall, and Robb's destiny is forever changed.
