Chapter Review:
Lord Varys reveals that the Greyjoys have killed the Stark boys. Tyrion Lannister is shocked and wants to know if Cersei will be shocked too. He hurries to join her for dinner.

She is surprised and slightly irked that she always gets blamed when harm befalls a Stark - it was Jamie who pushed Bran. They both worry for Jamie, and are determined to keep Sansa as safe as possible. Tyrion wants Balon Swann and Sandor Clegane fighting when Stannis comes, Cersie worries that they should be protecting the King.

Things go very sour when Cersei reveals that she has captured Tyrion’s whore. She has Alayaya dragged in. She’s bloodied but not broken. Tyrion promises to free her. He rounds on Cersei and promises that he’ll hurt her for this. Someday her safety and joy will turn to ashes in her mouth.
