Sansa gets into a squabble with Arya which ends with an orange to the face (and to the lap of a silk dress). The sisters are summoned before their father who tells them that he’s sending them back to Winterfell for their safety. Sansa is horrified - she wants to stay and marry Joffrey who she insists is nothing like his father. Ned suddenly sees the light. Simon and Mac do too, and they’re not afraid to share it with you.

Chapter Review:
Sansa describes her day at court to Jeyne Poole, critiquing her father’s decision not to send Ser Loras Tyrell to defeat the Mountain. Septa Mordane disapproved of Sansa’s second guessing, but Petyr Baelish reckons that Ned’s decisions could do with a bit of scrutiny.
At breakfast, Arya and Sansa fight and end up sent to their rooms. Thereafter, they are summoned to their father’s chambers where he announces his intent to send them home. King’s Landing is no longer safe.
 
Sansa wants to stay and mother princes and princesses as brave as wolves and proud as lions with her beloved Joffrey. Arya points out that he’s a Baratheon stag. Sansa flares up, insisting that he is nothing like his drunken, fat father. Ned is dumbfounded. Joffrey really is nothing like Robert.
