Sansa spends a glorious day with her betrothed Joffrey, only to have it end in disaster when they come across Arya and her friend. The confrontation ends with two bloody heads, a bloody arm, and a sword thrown into the river. Sansa also meets three knights that leave varying impressions on her. We dive into it all. Plus, we make conjectures about the suspicious look Joff gives his uncle Renly. 

Chapter Review 
Sansa and the rest of the king's party slowly making their way back to King's Landing have stopped at the Inn at the Crossroads for a boar hunt. Sansa and Arya are supposed to spend the day in the royal wheelhouse but Arya has no interest. She's going off with her friend Micah to hunt for rubies, at the ford of the Trident. The arrival of three knights from King's Landing have changed the plans. So Sansa and Joffrey spend a romantic day together. As the day comes to an end, the pair come across Arya and Micah. Joffrey's mistreatment of Micah angers Arya, so she smacks him in the head with a stick. Joff's swings his sword in an attempt to kill her, but Nymeria comes to her rescue, biting Joff's arm.
