Lord Ned Stark arrives at King's Landing, and before he can shake off the dust of the road, his presence is requested by the Small Council. On his way through the Red Keep, Ned sees Sir Jaime Lannister standing by the Iron Throne. The two men exchange barbs, and then Jaime recounts the day that the Mad King Aerys murdered Ned's father and brother in the throne room.

A raven flies through the gates of Winterfell, swooping past Bran Stark, who's standing in the courtyard practising his archery. He walks after the bird, and when he catches up to it, sees that the raven has three eyes. Bran wakes from the dream and finds himself in bed with his wolf Summer, still unable to walk. Theon Greyjoy enters the room with Hodor, a large and simple-minded stable boy, who carries Bran downstairs.
