Mockingbird (Game of Thrones)

"Mockingbird" is the seventh episode of the fourth season of HBO's medieval fantasy television series Game of Thrones.

[2] In the episode, Tyrion Lannister struggles to find a fighter willing to stand as his champion in his upcoming trial by combat; Melisandre and Selyse Baratheon talk on Dragonstone; the Night's Watch continue to prepare for Mance Rayder's attack; Brienne of Tarth and Podrick Payne meet Hot Pie at an inn; Arya Stark and Sandor "The Hound" Clegane are attacked by bandits on the road; Daenerys Targaryen orders Daario to retake Yunkai; and Petyr Baelish assassinates Lysa Arryn.

Jon suggests to Thorne to block the passage through the Wall to prevent Rayder's army from coming through, but his request is ridiculed.

The next morning, Daenerys tells Jorah that she has ordered Daario to retake Yunkai and kill all the remaining masters.

"Mockingbird" adapts part of material from A Storm of Swords, chapters 65, 66 and 80 (Arya XII, Tyrion IX & Sansa VII).

Additional material comes from Sansa II of A Game of Thrones, Tyrion V of A Storm of Swords and Daenerys VI of A Dance With Dragons.

The website's consensus reads: "Though 'Mockingbird' mostly sets the table for future events, it remains chock-full of action, suspense, surprise, and raw human emotion.
