Yara leaves him behind and returns home. Daenerys listens to the petitions of supplicants and takes decisions. Stannis and Davos go to Braavos seeking a loan. Tyrion's trial begins and Jaime makes a deal with his father to save his brother. But when Shae is summoned to testify, Tyrion is totally devastated.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- Stannis Baratheon and Davos Seaworth travel to Braavos with to see if they can get money from the Iron Bank to finance the war against the Lannisters. Their initial reception is poor but Stannis' arguments may sway them. Theon Greyjoy's sister Yara attempts to rescue him but finds that the brother she once knew no longer exists. Daenerys begins to realize what it means to rule. At Castle Rock, Tyrion's trial begins and as expected the cards have been stacked against him.

- Boy king Tommen excuses himself and passes the Iron Throne to Hand Tywin to preside over Tyrion's regicide trial, likely to end fatally given the damning witness list and small council-admitted princes Tyrell and Obryn, who is fascinated by mysterious eunuch lord without actual title Varys. Ramsay Snow takes pleasure in fighting off the single ship crew that invaded his castle under Yara Greyjoy to rescue Theon, whom he terrorized in such slavish submission as the deny his identity before becoming loyal dog Reek, who is rewarded with a bath and instructed to go on a mission, 'playing' Theon to win his master a castle. In Braabos, the Iron Bank is not impressed with Stannis's claim to fiance the 'only true king', given his lack of real resources, but Davos still gets enough gold on credit to hire a pirate fleet for a landing. A long procession of supplicants at the Meereen throne confronts Daenerys with the drudgery of ruling and some dishonorable results of her blindly vindictive 'justice' on top of rapacious dragon damages. Jaime strike a deal with Tywin: he'll resign from the royal guard to become Lannister heir and castle lord again, if Tyrion is 'pardoned' to join the Night Watch. Hurt by insulting testimonies, even from Shae, Tyrion holds an offensive tirade stating he would wish to have killed Joffrey and the whole audience, but invokes his right to a trial by duel.—KGF Vissers
- In Essos, Davos and Stannis meet with the Iron Bank to secure a loan for Stannis. Davos re-engages Salladhor Saan and his pirates. In Meereen, Daenerys adapts to her new role as queen, hearing her subjects' endless requests, including nobleman Hizdahr zo Loraq who wishes to reclaim his crucified father's body, and a peasant man whose goats were killed by Daenerys' increasingly uncontrollable dragons. In the Dreadfort, Yara leads a mission to rescue Theon, who, emotionally broken, refuses to leave, forcing Yara to abandon him. Ramsay rewards Theon's obedience and, planning to take Moat Cailin, tasks "Reek" to impersonate "Theon Greyjoy". In King's Landing, Tywin puts a bounty on the Hound's head and instructs Varys to continue spying on Daenerys. Tyrion is tried for Joffrey's murder. All the witnesses testify against him, including Ser Meryn Trant, Grand Maester Pycelle, Cersei, and Varys, who give compelling, though circumstantial, testimony. To Tyrion's shock, Shae falsely testifies against him. Tyrion proclaims his innocence and demands a trial by combat.
- Stannis and Davos arrive in Braavos and meet Tycho Nestoris at the Iron Bank. Initially denying his request, Nestoris is persuaded when Davos mentions that the "true" power of Westeros, Tywin Lannister, is aging and will soon be dead. Davos finds Salladhor Saan, an old pirate friend of his, and informs him that he has the money Saan was promised and they will set sail the next day.
One of Daenerys' dragons, Drogon attacks a flock of goats. Their owner presents a bag of their charred bones to Daenerys, who promises to compensate him three times over. Hizdahr zo Loraq requests to bury his father, one of the crucified Meereenese masters. Daenerys is reluctant at first, justifying her actions, but eventually agrees to the burial when she learns Hizdahr's father was a critic of the crucifixion of the slave children.
Yara and her Ironborn soldiers attack the Dreadfort but Theon refuses her help, having become too psychologically traumatised, believing the rescue to be one of Ramsay's tricks. Ramsay and his men corner the Ironborn, who return to their boats. There, Yara declares that her brother is dead. Later, impressed by Reek's loyalty, Ramsay allows him a bath and asks for his help in retaking Moat Cailin.
At the council, Varys tells Tywin of Daenerys' conquest of Meereen. Later, Tyrion's trial begins with Tywin, Mace, and Oberyn as judges. Several hostile witnesses are called, including Meryn, Pycelle, Cersei, and Varys. At recess, Jaime agrees to resign and go to Casterly Rock as heir if Tywin spares Tyrion. Tywin immediately agrees and says that Tyrion will be sent to the Night's Watch after being found guilty and then pardoned, prompting both Jaime and Tyrion to realize that this was Tywin's plan all along. Shae, the final crown witness, falsely testifies that Tyrion and Sansa planned the murder. Tyrion curses his accusers and demands a trial by combat to prove his innocence, causing uproar but a keen interest from Prince Oberyn.
