Joffrey spent his few minutes on screen this week mocking Jamie for being captured in battle and losing his hand. Between the hand missing from his right arm and the Hand of the King pressuring him to accept de facto exile as de facto Lord of Casterly Rock, Jaime finds himself in an unfamiliar position (though one with which Tyrion is altogether too well-acquainted): unwanted.Īnd if Jaime thought his nephew would be any more grateful for his return, he quickly discovered he was sorely mistaken.
Though the Lannisters appear strong and unchallenged with the Starks out of the picture and Jaime returned home only slightly worse for wear, the cracks are readily apparent. That division spells trouble for everyone. For all the talk throughout the episode about how the war was over - thanks to Stannis Baratheon’s defeat at Blackwater and Robb Stark’s butchering at the Twins - it’s clear that the Seven Kingdoms are as divided as they’ve ever been. It’s not hard to sort out the symbolism here.
The episode begins with Ned Stark’s enormous sword, forged from Valyrian steel, being broken down, melted and made into two separate swords by Tywin Lannister, who is still serving as Hand to the King.
