From the looks of her face early one, it sounds like she'll be heading to try and meet up with Robb, but best laid plans and all that. But any loss we feel at the lack of the scenes that have been some of the second season's finest was compensated for by Arya continuing to be a total pre-teen badass, forcing Jaqen to help her and her friends escape by ordering him to take his own life. Meanwhile, it sadly seems that the chats between Tywin Lannister and Arya Stark are done - Tywin's left his castle for battle, just as Arya was about to order his death. They're a sweet couple, but we can't see this ending well, particularly as the writers keep reminding us how he's betrothed to the daughter of the janitor from the " Harry Potter" films. Robb's been on a good run of late, but he's at his lowest ebb: or he would be, were it not for him declaring his love (reciprocated) to his lovely nurse lady Talisa, the two making love on the floor (and fulfilling the HBO nudity quotient that's been surprisingly lacking for the last couple of episodes. But if the viewers were angry at Catelyn's stupidity, her son was doubly so, even putting her under armed guard (in part to placate disquiet in his camp). Of course, she's seemingly unaware that 1) only one daughter is actually at King's Landing, 2) the city is about to come under siege by Stannis, and 3) Cersei is a massive bitch, and will probably take Jamie, and keep Sansa. It seems that last week's cliffhanger with Catelyn in Jamie's cage was something of a fake out without telling her son, she's let Jamie go, sending him off with Brienne of Tarth to be exchanged for her two daughters.
Probably the biggest development came in Robb Stark's camp. Which is fine, but it did feel a little like filler in places. Not a lot actually happened this time around - this was one of the shuffle-the-pieces around episodes. Stannis Barratheon closes in on King's Landing, Theon Greyjoy clings to Winterfell as repercussions get nearer, Jon Snow is in the hands of the wildlings, Arya Stark is escaping from Casterley Rock, and Jamie Lannister is on his way to be exchanged for the Stark girls. A chance to catch the breath, and flesh out some of the characters before things kick off. As was the case last season, episode eight of season two of " Game of Thrones," " The Prince of Winterfell" was all about the calm before the storm.
