- Jaime warns Cersei at the cathedral wake that their father Tywin's legacy is intact unless to let themselves by divided, but she's obsessed with old grudges, especially revenge on patricidal Tyrion, whose escapes she can't forgive her brother. Loras Tyrell enjoys making gay love with Olyvar as good as openly, speculating with sister Maergery if Tywin's dynastic marriage plan died with the Hand. Barefoot, minor royal cousin Lancel Lannister's call for Cersei to join the austere 'sparrows' sect is waved as if a knavish phase. Aching from the escape in a barrel, Tyrion intends to withdrew in obscurity, but lord Varys, who arranged his passage to Pentos, pleads taking responsibility towards Westeros, after his own part in the end of unsuitable king Robert Baratheon, by joining Daenerys's bid for the Iron throne. Haughty king Stannis wants the Wildlings to join his army to take the North from Roose Bolton and thus revenge Robb, but will only 'pardon' them if their king Mance kneels for him, which he refuses despite confident Jon Snow's plea and knowing the alternative is the stake, where Jon's arrow cuts his agony short. Making love with the queen, Daario warns her against refusing any popular demands to restore customs she despises, especially the gladiatorial 'pit fights' that started his own mercenary career when sold off by his parents.

- In a flashback, a witch foretells a teenage Cersei that she will one day be a queen until a younger and more beautiful queen usurps her. The witch also predicts Cersei will have three children and her king husband will have twenty. In the present, Tywin is buried, and Lancel Lannister returns, now a devoted convert of a fanatical religious cult called the "Sparrows". In Pentos on Essos, a despondent Tyrion accompanies Varys to Meereen to meet Daenerys, who Varys believes may be worthy of the Iron Throne. In Meereen, the insurgent "Sons of the Harpy" murder an Unsullied. Daenerys angrily resists restoring old local traditions, including reopening the fighting pits. Missandei asks Grey Worm about why some Unsullied visit brothels. Daenerys visits her two confined dragons, who act aggressively toward her. In the Vale, Littlefinger puts Robin in House Royce's care when he and Sansa depart. At the Wall, Stannis Baratheon seeks to recruit the Wildlings in his war against Roose Bolton, offering citizenship and land as a reward. Jon is unable to persuade Mance Rayder to "bend the knee" to Stannis. As Mance is burned alive, Jon ends his agony with an arrow to the heart.
- A young Cersei meets Maggy the Frog, a fortune teller. Cersei demands to know whether or not she will marry Prince Rhaegar Targaryen and have his children. Maggy informs her that she will instead be wed to "the king" (Robert Baratheon) and she will have three children, who will wear golden crowns, but also golden shrouds (meaning they will all die), and that another queen, younger and more beautiful than Cersei, will cast her down.
Cersei arrives at the Sept of Baelor to pay her respects to Tywin and chastises Jaime for freeing Tyrion. At the wake, Cersei is approached by Lancel, who has become a member of the Sparrows, a religious group devoted to the Faith of the Seven. Lancel apologizes to Cersei for their affair and for getting Robert drunk before the hunt in which he was mortally wounded, but Cersei feigns ignorance.
Margaery catches Loras abed with Olyvar and warns him to be more discreet. Loras tells Margaery that no one can force Cersei to marry him now that Tywin is dead, but Cersei will remain in King's Landing instead of going to Highgarden. Margaery hints that she has a solution.

One of the Unsullied is killed by a member of Sons of the Harpy, an insurgency of former masters. Daenerys orders Grey Worm to find the killer.
Daario and Hizdahr return from Yunkai and tell Daenerys that the Wise Masters will turn over power to a council of former slaves and former masters, in return for the reopening of the fighting pits, where slaves fought to the death.
