Horses trot as Robb Stark's army is on the move just outside Harrenhal.

"We should set the siege lines a thousand yards from Harrenhal."
The king in the North however seems to disagree.
"There won't be a siege. The Mountain can't defend a ruin."

"I imagine the Mountain will defend whatever Tywin Lannister tells him to defend." Argues lord Bolton, but his king doesn't budge. "The Lannisters have been running from us since Oxcross. I'd love a fight. The men would love a fight. I don't think we're going to get one." And with that the army advances.

As Robbs forces have arrived at Harrenhall. The king surveys a courtyard that littered with bodies. Flies buzz noisily among the corpses. Right then Rickard Karstark and Roose Bolton start talking of the dead northmen and those who are responsible.

"Two hundred Northmen slaughtered like sheep." Said the first lord.

"The debt will be repaid, my friend. For them and for your sons." Assured the Bolton, but lord Karstark was still unsure. "Will it? They rot in the ground while their killer runs free."

Robb and Catelyn walk somberly through the courtyard. His mother stops at a body propped against a section of wooden spikes, a blade through his heart. Robb comes up behind her and looks at the sigil on the man's chest.

"A Mallister?" Questions the young king.
His mother is quick to answer, " Ser Jeremy. My father's bannerman."

Robb looks aeound and glances around at his soldiers atop the walls and throughout the courtyard and steps back from his mother.

Finally he orders his mem "Find her a chamber that will serve as a cell."

A Stark soldier nods and leaves. Catelyn looks down as she is escorted away from Robb by a group of soldiers.

Lady Talisa approaches the young wolf, watching with sad eyes as the Stark womam is lead away.l and says "She's your mother."

"She freed Jaime Lannister. The Lannisters robbed them of their sons and she robbed them of their justice." Argued Robb, still hurt by his own mother betrayal.

A man coughs nearby and Talisa moves to tend to him. The mam asks for water and Robb holds a waterskin to the man's mouth as he takes a few gulps.

"This needs to be cleaned and closed." Said Talisa, "what is your name, friend?" Questioned the Stark man.
"Qyburn". "Well, you are lucky to be alive" to the healer's statement Qyburn only asked "Lucky?" But Talisa doesn't answer, starting to tend to his wounds instead.

King's Landing, King Joffrey Baratheon's forces stand victorious after the Battle of the Blackwater.

Tywin Lannister works at his desk while Tyrion looks on "The badge looks good on you. Almost as good as it looked on me. Are you enjoying your new position?" To his youngest son's question Tywin questions back "Am I enjoying it?"

Tyrion states to his father, the new Hand, that he was very happy as Hand of the King.

To his the old lion chuckes "Yes. I heard how happy you were." He proceeds to blow on his paper to dry the ink.

"You brought a whore into my bed." Tyrion is rapidly defends himself by tellimg him that it was his bed at the time, but his father continues, as if the younger man handn't spoken at all.

He seals the letter he has finished.
"I sent you here to advise the king. I gave you real power and authority. You chose to spend your days as you always have, bedding harlots and drinking with thieves. What do you want, Tyrion?"
