And you can listen to Andy and I cursorily discuss it, I think.

It comes in all sizes.

So The Watch, House of R, but what we're doing here is Talk of the Thrones.

That's right.

Why don't we do the recap of this lovely little episode to TV?

Okay.

I'm going to see if I can get out of here.

I didn't.

Let's go.

They got my boy Dunk locked up.

Free Dunk.

That's exactly what Egg thinks, but the prince can only do so much, so in the absence of freedom, he offers Dunk some good old-fashioned honesty.

Aegon was supposed to squire for his brother, Daeron, but Daeron's scouting report is apparently, quote, shit knight, and quote, Dunk, drunk.

And he didn't want to get tooled up in the tournament, so he shaved his little brother's head, and the plan was to hide out in an inn until after March Madness.

But Egg wanted to see some action, so here we are.

Dunk is hauled in front of Balor to explain himself, but Balor does most of the explaining, painting a picture of Highborne, like Darren, and especially Arian, twisting narratives to escape blame and to oppress others.

Duncan asks perhaps the central question of the series, don't all knights make the same oath?

Baylor offers Dunk a pathway to avoiding the death pen, trial by combat.

Unfortunately, Arian has been deep in the Andal's collective bargaining agreement and counters with a demand for trial by seven, meaning Dunk has to raise a band of brothers to fight with him.

His prospects look dim until Steph Fossilway is like, fuck it, let's play some cards.
