Game of Thrones S04E06 — The Laws of Gods and Men

Stannis Baratheon and Davos Seaworth pitch the Iron Bank in Braavos and walk out with the gold to re-hire Salladhor Saan, putting the same lender behind both claimants to the Iron Throne. Yara Greyjoy raids the Dreadfort to pull her brother out, only to find Ramsay Snow has rewritten Theon into Reek so completely he bites her and stays — earning a new assignment to impersonate his old self at Moat Cailin. In Meereen, Daenerys Targaryen grants a nobleman the right to bury his crucified father and learns two hundred more petitioners are waiting. In King's Landing, Tyrion Lannister stands trial for Joffrey's murder; Jaime trades his Kingsguard cloak for his brother's life, then Shae takes the stand and lies, and Tyrion detonates and demands trial by combat.The hour lays out what each player will pay to hold or seize power — Jaime surrenders his vow, Davos sells a king, Daenerys discovers ruling is a queue of impossible choices, and Theon's identity is now a costume Ramsay puts on him. The trial is the centerpiece: Tywin engineered it to break Jaime's Kingsguard oath and restore the Lannister line at Casterly Rock, and he succeeds — until Shae's testimony pushes Tyrion past the deal and into a duel that hands Oberyn Martell the opening he came to King's Landing to find. By the close, Tyrion's survival depends on a champion, Theon will march on Moat Cailin wearing his old name, and Stannis is funded.—Part of the Explained Podcasts network.
