Tyrion gives Shae a carefully coded apology for not telling her in private before breaking the news to Sansa. He goes to Sansa's chamber and asks for a private word, but Sansa declines to dismiss Shae. Tyrion decides he might as well dash Sansa's hopes sooner rather than later. She asks Tyrion which one of them should be the one to break the news to Sansa. They discuss about Jaime's possible return to King's Landing, with Cersei wondering where he could possibly be. Cersei tells him his life is not in danger from Joffrey, as he dare not try anything like that now that Tywin is the Hand. Tyrion realizes that it was in fact Joffrey who ordered Ser Mandon Moore to kill him, because Tyrion was the only one who stood up to him.
Tyrion realizes that while Cersei certainly has the authority to command a Kingsguard, she isn't stupid enough to command Ser Mandon Moore to kill him in public. Cersei, tired of fighting him, remains quiet while he deduces that only two people can command the Kingsguard. He then finally accuses his sister of trying to have him killed during the Battle of the Blackwater. Tyrion sarcastically asks which of the four of them has it the worst. In this, Loras finds unexpected common ground with her and agrees that the Red Keep is "the most terrible place there is".Ĭersei and Tyrion Lannister observe the couple from Cersei's chambers overlooking the garden. Sansa says she's looking forward to seeing Highgarden, as she's only ever lived in Winterfell and can't wait to leave King's Landing. Loras quickly placates her with a compliment and then describes the wedding gown he's envisioned for her. Loras is clearly uncomfortable being so close to her, but brightens when discussing the lavish wedding he's had planned – although Sansa, for once, becomes suspicious when she realizes that Loras seems more excited by the food and the wedding joust than by her. In the gardens, Sansa Stark tries to get closer to Loras by discussing their hopefully impending wedding. Olenna relents, and consents to the marriage of Loras and Cersei. Realizing her unchanged position on the matter, Tywin threatens to make Loras a knight of the Kingsguard, which would force Loras to give up his right to marriage and to inherit Highgarden. Olenna says she will not risk "throwing another flower into the dirt" if Cersei cannot bear heirs for the Tyrells.
Tywin replies that if that is true, he has no right to the throne and the Tyrells just "threw a flower into the dirt". Tywin is adamant that Cersei, whom he calls the Kingdom's most beautiful woman, should marry Loras, the Kingdom's most handsome and desired bachelor, but Olenna blatantly refuses to consent, hinting that Joffrey is the result of incest. They trade barbs about Cersei's age, her capability to have more children, and accusations of incest with Jaime, as well as Loras's well-known homosexuality. In King's Landing, Lord Tywin Lannister meets with Lady Olenna Tyrell to discuss having Ser Loras marry his daughter, Cersei. Jon and the wildlings face a daunting climb. Four Houses consider make-or-break alliances.
