"Is she absolutely mad?" Jon Arryn exploded in anger. "Does she not know the history of the faith Militant? The kind of problems they had caused and can cause?!"

Other than Ned and Robert, the rest could only stare in shock and surprise at the outburst and outrage from the usually soft but stern-spoken man.

"It's quite clear that she thinks she can manipulate this man as well and is giving him things to tempt him with" Joanna shook her head. "What has your father taught her that she's this short-sighted?" she turned to her sons.

"She took in what she wanted and threw the rest away" Tyrion explained simply. "She's always been like this, only accepting of things she likes and people who would kiss the ground she walks on."

Jon Arryn sat back down at Robert's urging, but he was fuming still.

Q. What is the high sparrow going to do with the faith militant first?

A) Arrest Loras Tyrell

B) Attack the nobels of Reach

C) Arrest Cersei Lannister with Lancel's confession

D) Arrest Queen Margaery Tyrell

""A) Arrest Loras Tyrell"" Brandon Stark the elder and Jon Snow said

"C) Arrest Cersei Lannister with Lancel's confession" Robert Baratheon chose

"If I explain the holy purpose to my son, the king, I have no doubt he will sign a decree arming the believers you felt worthy."

"An army that defends the bodies and souls of the common people."

"An army and service to the Gods themselves. And to you, of course. As the chosen representative of the Seven."

Jon Arryn glowered at the woman in the vision.

"An honour I never expected. Or indeed, ever wished for."

"Which is why you were chosen. You and I both know how the world works. Too often the wicked are the wealthiest, beyond the reach of justice. The king himself cannot always punish those who deserve it most."

"All sinners are equal before the Gods."

"What would you say if I told you we have a great sinner in our very midst? Shielded by gold and privilege."

"She is going to get herself killed" Tyrion snorted. "She's completely forgotten that Lancel is in their midst and will turn on her now."

"She hasn't forgotten, she simply thinks he's not going to do shit. Or that High Sparrow fellow" Jaime snorted.

"So in character for her" Tyrion shook his head.

[STREET]

[A group of FAITH MILITANT, wearing black robes and chains, walk down the street. Many nearby people chatter amongst themselves and look on. They begin breaking open casks of wine, and people begin screaming. One throws some men out of a building. Wine from the broken casks flows down some steps.]

"She thinks this is okay?!" Jon Arryn fumed.

"She's never cared about the people. What made you think she'd care any time soon?" Renly snorted, disgusted by what he saw.

[A ROOM]

[We see a man in pain, sweating heavily and biting down on a piece of cloth. Someone begins carving something on his forehead, and his hand scratches and grabs at the table.]

"Gods they're branding them!" Lyanna muttered in horror.

[MARKETPLACE]

[The FAITH MILITANT destroy a marketplace, smashing things for sale, flipping over tables, and attacking merchants. One merchant, lying on the ground, looks up at some gold cloaks on a castle wall. The gold cloaks turn around, ignoring him.]

"Fucking hell! That fucking demoness!" growled out Gendry. These were common people (less merchants and more people who were in the streets) people like him, and they were suffering!

[BROTHEL]

[A prostitute moans while having sex with a client. Some FAITH MILITANT walk in and interrupts. She shrieks as one grabs her by the hair and pulls her off of the man. Another comes in grinning and strikes the man with a stick. The prostitute is forced out of the room. Some more men interrupt an orgy. Two women start screaming. They begin beating some of the participants, and taking others out of the room. OLYVAR attempts to confront a member of the FAITH MILITANT as the man drags out a prostitute. The man elbows OLYVAR in the face and continues on his way. After most of the FAITH MILITANTS are gone, OLYVAR hears a scream. He walks towards the source of the scream, blood running from his nose, and hears another scream. OLYVAR stands just outside the doorway of a large room. Inside, a group of militants, most of them armed, stand around a male prostitute and his male client. Both are naked and bloody on the floor. The client is crying. OLYVAR backs out of the doorway and begins running away. The client screams.]

Renly grips the arms of his chair tightly, his eyes fixated on the men beating the prostitute and his male client.

[STAIRWELL]

[A number of FAITH MILITANTS, all armed, walk down a stairwell. They enter a clearing, where LORAS TYRELL is sparring with another man. Some people are spectating. The militants, including LANCEL, approach the fight. LORAS, having knocked the other man to the ground, removes his helmet. He hands his sword to another man, who hands LORAS a drink. He suddenly becomes aware of the presence of the militants.]

"Seize him."

"That fucking bitch" Margaery seethed with rage. Olenna sat stoically watching, gripping her cane tight enough to whiten her knuckle.

All Catelyn could do was stare in shock, horror and disgust. To think she approved of the man who approved of all of this... of all the extremism...

[HALLWAY]

[MARGAERY walks down a hallway. She pushes a set of doors open, enters TOMMEN'S chambers, and angrily puts her hands on a table. TOMMEN is eating, and looks up at her, surprised.]

"He's in trouble" Bran muttered. Good. If he was going to be King, he's going to need to take responsibility for what his people do.

"Why is my brother in a cell?"

"I, I don't know. I, I didn't order it."

"We both know who did. You told me she was returning to Casterly Rock."

[TOMMEN stands]

"Are you saying my mother is behind this?"

"Yes," Tommen muttered sadly. How cold his mother do this to him...

"She's jealous you're not hers anymore. Arresting my brother is her revenge."

"Aren't you and mother getting along?"

They were... but Tommen now understood that his mother was faking it all...

[MARGAERY scoffs]

"Oh, my sweet, sweet King. Do you have any affection for me at all?"

[TOMMEN takes her hand]

"Of course I do. You're my Queen."

"I can't bear to think of my brother locked away in some grimy cell."

"I'll set him free for you."

"I'm the King, I should be able to do that" Tommen nodded to himself.

[CERSEI'S CHAMBERS]

[TOMMEN walks into CERSEI'S chambers. CERSEI is staring out of a window and drinking wine.]

"I demand that Ser Loras be freed now!"

"Did I arrest him?"

Margaery scoffed.

"Well, no... But you armed the Faith Militant. You gave the High Sparrow an army.'

"I did. And your wife has every right to criticize. Can't allow fanatics to arrest the Queen's brother, no matter his perversions."

"Then can I tell Margaery you'll have Ser Loras released?"

"I told you I am not holding Ser Loras. You're the King. I'm sure if you speak to the High Sparrow, he'll release the poor boy."

"That vile vindictive bitch" Myrcella muttered angrily. How could she just push Tommen along like that?!

Wrong answer by Robert Baratheon he loses the chance to answer the next two questions.

Congratulation to Brandon Stark and Jon Snow for the right answer. Brandon Stark wins the power of Were-Direrwolf transformation. Jon Snow gets the power of Anakin Skywalker.
