Nest of Snakes

Warning: Spoilers
While hunting, King Robert is lethally wounded by a boar and designates Ned as Lord Regent until Joffre comes of age. Ned knows that Joffre is not son of Robert and believes that Robert's brother Stannis should be his successor. Meanwhile Jon Snow is assigned as steward of Alliser Thorne and not a ranger, and he is near to quit the Night's Watch; however Sam convinces him that he will be probably trained to be the next commander and Jon takes his vows. A wine merchant tries to poison Daenerys but Jorah saves her life. In gratitude, Drogo gives a horse to Jorah and promises the Iron Throne to his wife. Immediately after the death of Robert, Ned is summoned by King Joffrey and is surprisingly betrayed and hears from Littlefinger: "I did warn you not to trust me".

"You Win or You Die" is another episode with twists and betrayals. Now Ned is alone King's Landing that is a nest of snakes and the Machiavellian Lannisters have assumed the Seven Kingdoms. But the greatest confrontation will certainly be when Grogo reaches the King's Landing. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "You Win or You Die"
