[[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] is seated with the [[Small Council]], as King [[Tommen Baratheon|Tommen]] signs all the papers brought before him by Ser [[Kevan Lannister|Kevan]]. The [[House Lannister|Lannisters]] are granting [[Riverrun]] to Ser [[Emmon Frey]] and Kevan’s sister [[Genna Lannister|Genna]], once the [[Brynden Tully|Blackfish]] has surrendered. They legitimize [[Ramsay Snow]] and name [[Roose Bolton]] [[Warden of the North]]. Ser [[Rolph Spicer]] is granted [[Castamere]], and raised to lord, and Lord [[Gawen Westerling]], [[Sybell Spicer|his wife]], and daughter [[Jeyne Westerling|Jeyne]] are all granted a royal pardon, along with Lord [[Jonos Bracken]], Lord [[House Vance|Vance]], Lord [[Lymond Goodbrook|Goodbrook]] and Lord [[William Mooton|Mooton]] for entering King Tommen’s service. Jaime had recently lost during a spar with Ser [[Addam Marbrand]], and is disgusted that he cannot fight left-handed, especially after receiving the new [[Valyrian steel|Valyrian sword]] from [[Tywin Lannister|his father]].

Outside, he watches Steelshanks [[Walton]] and his men prepare to leave [[King's Landing]], and sees a girl who claims to be [[Arya Stark]]. Jaime is pretty sure she is not the real Arya, yet she is to be presented to Ramsay at the Dreadfort. Ser [[Gregor Clegane|Gregor]]’s screams from [[Pycelle]]’s solar can be heard throughout the [[Red Keep]], for Lord Tywin has demanded that the Grand Maester heal him so that the King’s Justice can kill him (rather than a poisoned spear).

Ser [[Gregor Clegane|Gregor]]'s screams from [[Pycelle]]'s solar can be heard throughout the [[Red Keep]], for Lord Tywin has demanded that the Grand Maester heal him so that the [[King's Justice]] can execute him (rather than dying from a poisoned spear) in the hopes of placating [[Dorne]] and [[House Martell]], who are likely to be outraged by Prince [[Oberyn Martell|Oberyn's]] death. Jaime recalls his father mentioning that [[Stannis Baratheon|Stannis]] and his fleet have left [[Dragonstone]], leaving only a token force to guard the island. Unlike Pycelle, Tywin believes Stannis has not conceded defeat; he has only left Dragonstone because he intends to continue fighting elsewhere. He will likely fail if he goes to [[Storm's End]] and tries to rally the Stormlands, but if Stannis wins Dorne to his cause, he can prolong [[War of the Five Kings|the war]] for months or even years, so Tywin will not give Dorne any reason to side with Stannis.

Synopsis

Jaime is seated with the small council, as King Tommen signs all the papers brought before him by Ser Kevan. The Lannisters are granting Riverrun to Ser Emmon Frey and Kevan's sister Genna, once the Blackfish has surrendered. They legitimize Ramsay Snow and name Roose Bolton Warden of the North. Ser Rolph Spicer is granted Castamere, and raised to lord, and Lord Gawen Westerling, his wife, and daughter Jeyne are all granted a royal pardon, along with Lord Jonos Bracken, Lord Vance, Lord Goodbrook and Lord Mooton for entering King Tommen's service. Jaime had recently lost during a spar with Ser Addam Marbrand, and is disgusted that he cannot fight left-handed, especially after receiving the new Valyrian sword from his father.

Outside, Jaime watches Steelshanks Walton and his men prepare to leave King's Landing, and sees a girl who claims to be Arya Stark. Jaime is pretty sure she is not the real Arya, yet she is to be presented to Roose Bolton and Ramsay Bolton at the Dreadfort. Ser Gregor's screams from Pycelle's solar can be heard throughout the Red Keep, for Lord Tywin has demanded that the Grand Maester heal him so that the King's Justice can execute him (rather than dying from a poisoned spear) in the hopes of placating Dorne and House Martell, who are likely to be outraged by Prince Oberyn's death. Jaime recalls his father mentioning that Stannis and his fleet have left Dragonstone, leaving only a token force to guard the island. Unlike Pycelle, Tywin believes Stannis has not conceded defeat; he has only left Dragonstone because he intends to continue fighting elsewhere. He will likely fail if he goes to Storm's End and tries to rally the Stormlands, but if Stannis wins Dorne to his cause, he can prolong the war for months or even years, so Tywin will not give Dorne any reason to side with Stannis.

Later, Cersei visits him in the White Sword Tower, and reveals that their father plans to send her back to Casterly Rock so that he will have a free hand in raising Tommen, in addition to marrying Tommen to Margaery Tyrell, but Jaime refuses to talk to their father to convince him otherwise. Their conversation turns to the subject of Bran Stark; Cersei berates him again for throwing the boy from the tower, but when Jaime questions her about the assassin Catelyn Stark accused them of sending after the boy, Cersei denies it. When Cersei mentions that Robert himself, at Winterfell, said it would be kinder to put the boy out of his misery while alone with her and their children, Jaime figures out that it was Joffrey, 'desperate for a pat on the head from that sot', who sent the assassin to kill Bran, even though Cersei does not believe him when he tells her his suspicions, just as Jaime does not believe her when Cersei insists again that Tyrion is responsible for Joffrey's death. When she begins to unlace Jaime's breeches, he sends her off in anger.

Jaime then has Brienne and Ser Loras brought before him, and the Knight of Flowers reveals that after speaking with the woman, he now believes she may be innocent. Ser Loras is dismissed, and Jaime reveals his belief that Tyrion is innocent, and that the girl sent north with Steelshanks was not the real Arya Stark; his father has found some northern girl of a similar age and appearance, and with her immediate family dead or missing, there is no one to say otherwise.
