Episode Title: "Cripples, Bastards and Broken Things"
Story: As the title of this episode suggests, this episode centers on three of our favorite characters: Tyrion (Peter Dinklage), Bran (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) and Jon (Kit Harrington). But the bastards extend into Ned's (Sean Bean) story as well as he investigates what the former King's Hand, Jon Arryn, was doing before his death -- and it turns out that King Robert (Mark Addy) knows a thing or two about bastards.
At the Wall, Jon continues to dominate his class of Night's Watch recruits, but picks up a new friend in the form of Samwell Tarly (John Bradley). The Hand's Tourney finally starts up in a gruesome jousting contest that tests Sansa's (Sophie Turner) ability to withstand violence, and Catelyn Tully (Michelle Fairley) finds an unsuspecting suspect along the Kingsroad. Elsewhere, across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) finally, finally stands up to her nasty elder brother,...

Episode Title: "Lord Snow"
Story: After the long journey down the Kingsroad, Eddard Stark (Sean Bean) arrives in King's Landing to begin his work as the Hand of the King. But it turns out that King Robert (Mark Addy) prefers drinking, whoring and hunting to his actual kingly duties, and has somehow managed to get the country 6 million crowns (their form of currency) in debt. While Ned deals with the repercussions of that discovery, his eldest daughter Sansa (Sophie Turner) gets settled into court life and his youngest daughter Arya (Maisie Williams) begins taking sword lessons with her blade, Needle.
Back in Winterfell, Bran (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) can't remember the events that led up to his fall, but the fact that the 10-year-old is now paralyzed from the waist down leaves him wishing for death. His mother Catelyn (Michelle Fairley) reaches King's Landing and voices her fears about the Lannisters to Ned,...

Episode Title: "The Kingsroad"
Written By: David Benioff and D.B. Weiss
Story: Picking up right where episode one left off, the royal court readies to depart from Winterfell and head to King's Landing with Ned Stark (Sean Bean) as the Hand of the King. But no one, especially not Queen Cersei (Lena Headey) and her twin brother Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), are happy to leave the comatose Bran (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) behind before he wakes up and shares why he "fell" out of a high tower. With his mother Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) watching over him at all times, Ned heads south and his bastard son Jon Snow (Kit Harrington) heads north to dedicate himself to the Night's Watch at the Wall.
Across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clark) begins to adapt to Dothraki culture instead of just being a victim to her husband Khal Drogo's (Jason Momoa) brutish ways.

A mysterious danger looms from the icy wastes north of the fantastical country of Westeros as the king, Robert Baratheon (Mark Addy) rides north to Winterfell. There he is seeking out Lord Eddard Stark (Sean Bean) to replace his recently deceased second-in-command as the Hand of the King. But the king is a lecherous drunk, and the commitment might be more than Ned is willing to take for his old friend.
Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) is soon to be wed to the barbarian horselord Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa) as a part of the plan her brother Viserys (Harry Lloyd) has concocted to steal back the throne of Westeros.
