Khal Drogo’s health deteriorates, causing Dany to make a pact with Mirri Maz Duur to use dark blood magic to bring him back. This causes a ruckus in the Khalasar. Ser Jorah defends Dany, but she goes into labor. He carries her to her midwife - but unfortunately, that is mid-spell Mirri Maz Duur. The boys worry for the whole Drogo family.

Chapter Review:
Khal Drogo’s wounds have become infected and he falls from his horse. Dany demands that the khalasar camp here for the night and that Mirri Maz Duur attend him. Drogo’s blooriders are convinced that the slave is poisoning Drogo, but Dany upbraids them and they begrudgingly comply.

When his tent is erected, Dany and crew survey Khal Drogo’s chest. It is immediately apparent that he’s on death’s door. Ser Jorah counsels that the two of them flee immediately. Dany cannot understand why they would, when she bears the heir but he points out that the Dothraki think little of hereditary rights and no mere prophecy would prevent a would-be Khal from killing her and her son.

Mirri agrees to try blood magic to save Drogo, but nobody can enter the tent during the incantation. Unfortunately, Ser Jorah does not hear this warning, and when Dany’s labor is induced by a fall, he carries the Khaleesi to her midwife, with unknown consequences.
