Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Catelyn Stark treats with King Renly in the hope of winning an alliance. Tyrion undertakes a complex plan in King’s Landing to expose an enemy. At Winterfell, Bran’s dreams continue to trouble him.
Our Take
A busy hour that juggles three storylines without dropping any of them. Theon’s scenes are the standout, giving his loyalty crisis real weight before it turns ugly, and Tyrion’s trap for Littlefinger is a fun bit of scheming. Renly’s camp gets some welcome personality too. It’s table-setting for the most part, but sharp enough that it never feels like filler.
