Game Of Thrones
Episode #1 : Winter Is Coming
North of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, Night's Watch soldiers are attacked by supernatural White Walkers. One soldier
escapes but is captured at Castle Winterfell. Eddard "Ned" Stark, Warden of the North, executes him for desertion. Later, six
orphaned dire wolf pups are found and one given to each Stark sibling, including Ned's bastard son, Jon Snow. In King's
Landing, the Seven Kingdoms capital, Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, dies suddenly. King Robert Baratheon, Ned's old
friend, travels to Winterfell to recruit Ned and propose a marriage between his heir Joffrey and Ned's daughter, Sansa. Lysa
Arryn, Jon's widow, sends her sister (Ned's wife), Catelyn, a letter claiming the Lannisters, Queen Cersei's family, murdered
Arryn. Catelyn believes the Lannisters are now plotting against King Robert. Ned's young son, Brandon, climbs a tall tower
and witnesses Cersei and her twin brother, Jaime Lannister, inside having sex. To hide their incest, Jaime pushes Bran from the
high window. Across the Narrow Sea in Essos, exiled Prince Viserys Targaryen forces his sister, Daenerys, to marry the
Dothraki warlord, Drogo, in exchange for an army to conquer Westeros and reclaim the Iron Throne. Robert Baratheon became
king after Jaime Lannister killed "Mad" King Aerys Targaryen, earning Jaime the nickname, "The King Slayer". The ancient
Targaryens once commanded dragons, and Daenerys is given three fossilized dragon eggs as a wedding gift.
Episode #2 : The Kingsroad
Ned, the new Hand of the King, travels to King's Landing accompanied by his daughters, Sansa and Arya. Catelyn remains at
Winterfell to care for the still unconscious Bran. An assassin attacks Bran, but Catelyn fends him off and Bran's dire wolf,
Summer, kills him. Catelyn suspects the Lannisters were behind the attack. Ned's illegitimate son, Jon, heads north with his
uncle, Benjen Stark, to join the Night's Watch, the protectors of the Wall, a massive ice structure that keeps the Wildling tribes
and the mythical White Walkers from civilized Westeros. Before departing, Jon gave tomboy Arya a thin sword she names,
"Needle". Queen Cersei's younger brother, Tyrion Lannister, a dwarf also known as "The Imp," accompanies Jon to the Wall.
In King's Landing, Prince Joffrey threatens Arya's young commoner friend, later having him killed. Nymeria, Arya's dire wolf,
defends her, biting Joffrey. Cersei demands that Robert have the wolf killed, but Arya releases Nymeria to the wild. Sansa's
dire wolf, Lady, is killed instead. In Winterfell, Brandon awakens, remembering nothing about his fall. Meanwhile, Daenerys
is befriended by Ser Jorah Mormont, a disgraced knight, while she focuses on learning how to please Drogo.

Ned attends the King's Small Council and learns Westeros has been poorly managed and deeply in debt. Catelyn travels to
King's Landing to covertly warn her husband about the assassination attempt, but she is intercepted by her childhood friend,
Councillor Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish. Bran learns he will never walk again and remains unable to remember the events
leading to his fall. Jon struggles to adapt to life on the Wall. The once elite Night's Watch now recruits many low-born and/or
convicted criminals who are unimpressed by Jon's bloodline. Lord Commander Mormont asks Tyrion to plead with the King to
send more recruits to the Night's Watch. Daenerys, now pregnant, stands up to her brother, Viserys, threatening him if he ever
abuses her again.

illegitimate children, Gendry, an armorer. Robert and his guests attend a tournament honouring Ned, which Ned considers an
extravagance. Jon takes measures to protect Samwell Tarly, an awkward and friendless Night's Watch recruit, from the other
Watchmen's abuse. A frustrated Viserys clashes with his newly-empowered sister. Sansa dreams of one day becoming queen,
while Arya envisions a far different future. At a roadside tavern, Catelyn, who is Lord Hoster Tully's daughter, unexpectedly
encounters Tyrion Lannister. She rallies her father's Riverrun allies to arrest Tyrion for conspiring to murder her son.

her, considering Daenerys a non-threat. He resigns in protest as Robert's Hand, angering the king. Catelyn and her prisoner,
Tyrion, arrive at her sister Lysa Arryn's fortress home in the Eyrie. News of Tyrion's capture reaches King's Landing where

reconciled with Joffrey) and Arya back to Winterfell. Ned has discovered that Joffrey and his two siblings are not Robert's
biological children, and were fathered by Jaime Lannister. Bran, while testing his new saddle, is attacked by rogue
Wildings. Robb, Ned's oldest son, and Theon, Ned's captive ward, whose father, King Balon, was a fallen rebel, rescue him,
and the woman Wilding, Osha, is enslaved. In the Vale, Tyrion demands a trial by combat. Lysa chooses Ser Vardis as her
champion. The sellsword Bronn volunteers as Tyrion's champion. He defeats Vardis and obtains Tyrion's release. Meanwhile,

his men. At the Wall, Benjen Stark disappears during a foray north of the Wall. Jon and Sam are assigned as stewards, with Jon

save him. The woman tells everyone to remain outside the tent until after the spell is cast. Daenerys goes into labor, and Jorah
brings her into the tent seeking aid. Robb sacrifices 2,000 soldiers to fight the Lannister army as a diversion so he can move his
army and capture Jaime. In a public hearing, Ned confesses to treason and publicly affirms Joffrey is the rightful heir.
However, rather than sparing his life as negotiated, the vengeful and increasingly insane Joffrey has him decapitated, while
Sansa, Cersei, and other counsellors object futilely. Sansa is forced to watch her father die while Arya is nearby in the crowd.

Episode #30 : Mhysa
The massacre's mastermind is revealed to be Tywin Lannister, who rewards House Frey with the Seat of Riverrun and appoints
Roose Bolton as Warden of the North. Theon learns his men surrendered him in return for safe passage from Winterfell and
that his captor is Ramsay Snow, Bolton's bastard son. Against Balon's wishes, Yara leads a mission to rescue Theon. Arya and
the Hound kill some Frey soldiers mocking Robb's death. Jaime and Brienne arrive in King's Landing where Jamie is reunited
with Cersei. Sam and Gilly encounter Bran's party and, unable to prevent them traveling beyond the wall, Sam gives them
dragonglass weapons. Sam returns to Castle Black with Gilly. Maester Aemon has Sam send ravens to alert the Seven
Kingdoms about the White Walkers. Ygritte finds Jon and shoots him with three arrows, deliberately only wounding him. He
escapes, returning to Castle Black. In Dragonstone, Davos helps Gendry escape to prevent his being sacrificed; Stannis
forgives Davos, then heads north to aid the Watch against the White Walker threat. In Essos, the freed Yunkai slaves receive
Daenerys as their "mother".
