In the land of the east, Daenerys makes friends with her new husband via the exotic technique of having sex while facing each other. It's all very romantic, I guess. Also, most of the nudity is performed by Khal Drogo, so, y'know. A little something for the ladies.
Lady Stark won't leave Bran's side, which everyone thinks is crazy. But it turns out to be a pretty good idea when a knife-wielding assassin shows up and she has to fight him off with the power of outraged motherhood before Bran's direpuppy rips out the assassin's throat. She also takes a moment to ask her husband not to have any more bastard children before he heads south with King Robert, Arya and Sansa.
On the trip to King's Landing, Prince Joffrey interrupts Arya as she's fencing with the butcher's son. In the ensuing clash of wills, Arya knocks Joffrey down and her direwolf bites Joffrey on the arm. This results in Arya sending her dog away and Sansa's getting killed even though it is a good dog and didn't do anything wrong. Poor doggie!
Also, Tyrion and Jon Snow go to the Wall. But it's a long trip and they don't quite get there, so they mostly just have character-establishing conversations.
