Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The Hound is judged by the gods; Jaime is judged by men. Jon proves himself; Robb is betrayed. Tyrion learns the cost of weddings.
Our Take
A quietly strong hour built around judgment scenes, and the Jaime and Brienne material in the baths is easily the best thing here, giving the season its most human moment so far. The Hound’s trial and Jon’s storyline move things along nicely, while Robb’s political mess feels more like setup than payoff. Worth your time, mostly for that one scene alone.
