Harmat's Predictions in this episode:

  • Drogo will like Dany, but he'll want more in exchange for the army.
  • Viserys won't meet Drogo's demands because it is too easy; they have to go through more struggle to get to Westeros.
  • Feel bad for Dany, but don't want to expect anything from her 'cause she has virtually no power. She could get this by running away, but she won't do that. Right now, she's just our prespective into Viserys's journey
  • We will see character development in Dany when they meet other people from Westeros; i.e: Baratheons & Starks
  • Illyrio's having fun with Viserys, but he's spending too much money for that to be true.
  • Whatever Illyrio's intentions, they are not good, definitely harmful to Dany
  • Illyrio wants something from Drogo so he set up the marriage in return for what he wants
  • Ned's chapter will be anti-climactic; preparing for the king's visit; we will get some backstory and the character's predictions for why King Robert is coming
