Arya manages to get herself lost in the dungeons of the Red Keep. But in the process, she finds information that would be invaluable to her father. Unfortunately, when she tries to tell Ned what she's learned, she makes a mess of it all. Thankfully, we're here to put the pieces together and weave a more complete story from the details.

Chapter Review:
Arya Stark is catching cats. While in the process, she is stumbled upon by princess Myrcella, prince Tommen, and their entourage. When the gold cloaks in her group try to apprehend her, Arya runs. By the time she stops, she's managed to get herself lost deep in the dungeons under the Red Keep. She first runs into three giant dragon skulls, before coming across two men talking while walking through the dungeons. The pair is Lord Varys and Illyrio Mopatis. They are discussing her father Ned getting dangerously close to discovering a secret. There is also mention of having killed one Hand of the King, so why not kill another? Along with that, there is talk of a plot that sounds a lot like it involves getting a Targaryen back on the Iron Throne. When Arya gets back to the Tower of the Hand, she tries to tell Ned what she knows, but it sounds more like the fantasy talk of a child than anything else. Yoren from the Night's Watch arrives to talk with Ned, and Arya is sent to bed worrying about her father's safety.
