Things are heating up on Game of Thrones after last night's episode, which brought us a big death and a big revelation. First, let's start with the Starks and the Lannisters. Ned came to a conclusion that we, as viewers, likely already suspected: that Cersei's children could very well be the product of incest with her brother, Jamie Lannister. Now that Ned is in possession of this information, he decides to confront Cersei about her secrets, which he feels led to the death of Jon Arryn. Robert, recently injured, tries to ensure that there is an orderly transition of power at King's Landing, but those around Ned seemed determined to push forward with his power as King's Hand, even if it leads to treason.

But the Lannisters are not to take recent matters - including the capture of Tyrion by Cat Stark - lying down. The Lannister patriarch, Tywin (played by Charles Dance), tells Jamie that this is his time to "be the man you were meant to be" and gives his son control of a portion of his army to battle against their enemies.

Ser Jorah continues to prove a useful ally and saves Daenerys from an unexpected treachery, but Drogo is furious at the threat against his wife and mobilizes the Dothraki so they can go somewhere they've never done before.

ned lost the war with jamie after robert's injury n died? who will be the new king if any? what happen to stark family? how did the first book ended?
