Bran scales the towers of Winterfell and overhears the Lannister twins discuss incriminating topics and then perform some unexpectedly taboo deeds. We examine the accusations Jamie and Cersei claim Lysa Arryn has made, why Ned being Hand of the King could be trouble for them, why the queen is hoping her husband dies soon, and why Mac had to rush home for a shower emergency. 

Chapter Review:
It’s the day before Bran Stark and some of his family leave Winterfell for King’s Landing. Most of the men and boys in Winterfell are on a hunt, so Bran wanders the castle alone. After a while, he decides to climb the towers of Winterfell one final time. While doing so, he discovers Cersei and Jamie Lannister alone and “wrestling” in a room high in the First Keep. Bran hears them discuss the problems Ned becoming Hand of the King presents them, accusations Bran’s aunt Lysa Arryn has made, and several juicy topics that could land them in hot water if anyone found out. When the pair discover Bran lurking at the window, Jamie pushes Bran to fall to his likely death.
