Game of Thrones Season 4, Episode #7 Title: Mockingbird
Episode Air Date: May 18th, 2014
Author(s): Jason de Lima & Jennifer Heinke
This week Rob and Josh are back to recap Episode #7 Mockingbird. They open the show by jokingly saying that the gravy of the episode was Hot Pie's cameo. Then they dive into what they feel is the top story of the episode, how Lysa Arryn finally got to fly. Josh gives Rob credit for his foresight regarding Lysa's death, and even goes as far as to tell him that he is turning into a little Littlefinger.
Lysa Arryn: Out the Moon Door (2:39)
They open the episode by discussing the events at the Vale. The scene begins with Sansa slapping Robin for destroying her snow castle of Winterfell. Littlefinger then comes over to comfort her and ends up kissing her to Sansa's shock, which is overseen in the background by Lysa Arryn. Lysa then confronts Sansa about this and threatens to push her out the Moon Door. The scene culminates with Littlefinger intervening and calming Lysa down, and he proceeds to tell her that there's only one woman that's he's ever loved, her sister, as he pushes her out the Moon Door. Rob asks Josh if he'll miss the Lysa era to which Josh says no, that the only part he'll miss is seeing Robin being breastfed. Rob then questions Josh as to whether this was Littlefinger's intention all along, for Lysa to catch him kissing Sansa in order to send her into a manic frenzy. After discussing it they don't feel like it was pre-planned, but that it has more to do with Littlefinger's feelings and desires for Sansa. They link this to what Varys said in a scene from last week's episode about desires causing people to have a blindspot. Josh feels the theory about it being pre-planned is a little far-fetched and rather believes that pushing Lysa out the Moon Door was a spur of the moment decision.
Jaime & Tyrion: The Little Monster and The Golden Boy (7:36)
In this scene we find Jaime in Tyrion's prison cell bewildered by Tyrion's decision to throw his life away with his outburst during the trial by demanding a trial by combat. Tyrion expects Jaime to be his champion but is disappointed to find out that Jaime's training with Bronn has not been going as well as expected, and that he cannot fight for him. Rob and Josh talk about how Tyrion was emotionally distraught by Shae's betrayal and about how Tyrion is sick of playing Tywin's game. They discuss how every time Tyrion brings up the incest issue, Jaime gets defensive and tells him not to go there. Rob and Josh then refer to the Jaime-Cersei incest as being the worst kept secret in Westeros.
Cersei & The Mountain: My Champion of Gore (9:41)
Next we find Ser Gregor Clegane aka The Mountain as he is executing captives for practice. Cersei approaches him and welcomes him to the capital; he asks her whom he is fighting to which she replies, “Does it matter?” and he says “No.” Rob begins the discussion by saying that he barely even recognizes The Mountain, and Josh mocks the fact that The Mountain has been recast for a 3rd time now. They talk about what appears to be The Mountain's murder practice and wonder who the people he is killing are. Josh weighs in on Cersei's question to The Mountain by saying that he feels that The Mountain is good enough to kill just about anybody, so it doesn't matter whom he is facing.
Bronn & Tyrion: Can You Offer Me Two Wives and Two Castles? (11:52)
In the next scene, we finally see Bronn again who has come to see Tyrion at his request. It is immediately apparent to the viewers and Tyrion that Bronn has been paid off,...
