Synopsis

Sansa is being fitted for a new gown provided by Queen Cersei. Margaery tells Sansa that she does not fear Joffrey, because her father only conceded her hand in marriage with the provision that Loras was named to the Kingsguard. Her brother will protect her from Joffrey.

When Sansa tells Dontos about the Queen of Thorns's plan to marry her to Willas, the drunk man warns her that the Tyrells wish to wed her for her claim to Winterfell, stating, "These Tyrells are only Lannisters with flowers." Dontos tells her that they will escape, as promised, on Joffrey's wedding day.
