Dany annoys some of the khalasar by rescuing new slaves from rape and murder. Khal Drogo hurt in the raid that won the slaves, backs her up. One of the women Dany saved is a healer and she agrees to patch up the wounded Khal. Mackelly and Simon cast an expert eye over the stitchwork.

Chapter Review:
Khal Drogo’s khalasar stumbles across Khal Ogo and crew attacking a town of sheep-farmers. The peaceful Lhazareen are thrilled when Drogo’s forces attack and destroy the rival Dothraki. However, their relief is short-lived: Drogo’s men finish the job off and destroy the village killing or enslaving everyone.

The warriors set about systematic rape and pillage. Dany, against advice, rescues several women from their plight. This causes dissent in the ranks, but Khal Drogo cannot help but take her side. He’s picked up a few wounds and she wants him to call for a medic. They have their hands full, but one of Dany’s entourage of new slaves (Mirri Maz Duur) offers to help.

Drogo’s blood riders have misgivings. A female healer is obviously a witch of some sort. But Dany thinks she can trust her. Drogo grits his teeth as hot wine is applied and sutures are inserted. Qotho warns Mirri that her life depends on the Khal’s uneventful recovery. Dany is impressed by the bedside manner (of Mirri, not Qotho) and asks her to be midwife at Rhaego’s birth.
