Tyrion learns about wildfire, meets with a creepy pyromancer, and demolishes Stannis Baratheon’s fleet in a fiery green explosion at the Battle of Blackwater. Tyrion Lannister, Her Other Brother, flourishes in his role as Hand to King Joffrey, roots out Cersei’s spies, and tries to hide his lover, Shae, from his enemies at court. He is given a babysitter in the form of the formidable Brienne of Tarth. Jaime monologues a bit, bludgeons his cousin to death, tries to escape, and is captured again-but let go by Catelyn Stark in hopes that she can exchange him for her daughter Sansa Stark. Jaime Lannister, Her Twin Brother, is still being held captive by the Starks, and mostly sneers and quips in the mud until his cousin Alton shows up.
