Synopsis

Sansa is in despair in her room in Maegor's Holdfast, reliving the beheading of her father. Eventually, Joffrey arrives telling her to get dressed and attend him. She resists, and he has the Hound get her out of bed. Sandor tells her to do as she’s bid, calls her child, and pushes her almost gently toward her wardrobe. Sansa pleads to go home, then tells Joffrey that she hates him. The King has Ser Meryn slap her, then leaves telling her to attend him later. The Hound tells her to save herself some pain and not resist him. Ser Meryn comes for her later, and she tells him that he is no true knight, but the Kingsguard does not care. Sansa attends the King in the throne room as he dispenses justice, every case with violence or death. Later, he brings her to the wall over the gatehouse where the traitors’ heads are mounted on spikes. Joff forces her to look at her father’s head and Septa Mordane’s. Joff tells her that Robb defeated his uncle Jaime by treachery, and promises her Robb’s head as a gift. When Sansa says that maybe Robb will give her Joff’s head, the King has Ser Meryn beat her again. As Sansa is lying on her hands and knees she contemplates rushing Joffrey and knocking him off the gatehouse wall to his death. But the Hound interposes himself between her and Joff, and gently wipes the blood off her mouth.
