Game of Thrones 3.9 "The Rains of Castamere" (spoiler alert) [View all]

Last edited Sun Jun 2, 2013, 05:50 PM - Edit history (1)

In season 1, episode 9 was "Baelor" where Ned Stark got beheaded. In season 2, episode 9 was "Blackwater" where Stannis attacked King's Landing and - on the edge of victory - was thrown back & defeated by a surprise attack by Tywin Lannister and the Tyrells. Will Season 3, episode 9 be as eventful? Please no book spoilers for non-readers until showtime.

Edmure meets his bride as House Tully prepares to ally itself with House Frey. Meanwhile, Jon faces the toughest test of his life; Bran finds he has a new gift; and Daario and Jorah discuss strategies for taking Yunkai.
