"Can you remember anything?" Stewie asked Brian.

Still shocked, Brian said, "Yes, I remember getting stabbed by my own brothers! Including Snot! I'm not surprised at Alliser Thorne, but I can't believe Snot would do that to me!"

"Yeah, it's Game of Thrones. Everyone betrays each other eventually," said Stewie. "But the guys who killed you are all safely locked up now."

"I tried to do what I thought was right, but I got murdered for it, just like Peter and Chris," Brian lamented. "I wonder why I got to come back from the dead and they didn't."

"What was it like being dead?" Stewie asked.

Brian shook his head. "I don't know. I remember being stabbed, and then I woke up here on this table. In between, nothing!"

Stewie said, "Well, we may never know why you were brought back, but in the end, it doesn't matter. The important thing is to fight and go on living for as long as possible."

"I thought I knew how to go on living," Brian said, "but I failed."

"Good," said Stewie, "and now, go fail again."

After he had recovered somewhat, Brian donned his armor and his commander cape and walked into the courtyard, seeing many of the free folk and his fellow brothers arrive before him.

"I never thought I'd see you stand on your own two feet again," Tormund called. "I was fixin' to burn your body!"

Brian laughed. "I'm pretty sure it's still me in my body, not a wight, so you might wanna hold off on that for the time being."

Thorne, Snot, and their fellow conspirators were standing on a platform with their necks in nooses.

"Do any of you guys have any last words?" Brian asked.

Thorne glared at Brian for the last time. "You dang wimpy slug. You shouldn't be alive. It's not right."

"Neither was killing me," Brian replied.

"If I could do it over again, I would," he said.

"Why did you have to bring the wildlings in, Brian?" Snot bemoaned. "Wildlings killed my family, you know. That's the reason I joined the Watch in the first place."

Brian looked at Snot. "I'm sorry, dude. I didn't know that."

"Well, I fought, and I lost," Snot said. "But you'll be fighting forever, Brian. Kill me fast and get it over with."

Sadly, Brian cut the rope. The floor dropped out from under all the traitors and the nooses tightened around their necks.

"We should burn the bodies," said Toshi.

"You should," Brian said. He took off his black cloak and handed it to Toshi.

Toshi was confused. "What do you want me to do with this?"

"Do whatever you want. My watch is ended."

"You're quitting?" Toshi spluttered. "But nobody leaves the Night's Watch. You're bound to serve until you die!"

"Yeah," said Brian, "and now I have."

Loras Tyrell stood before King Joffrey in his throne room. "The gods know the truth of my innocence, and my sister's. I will have their verdict, not the judgement of men. I demand trial by combat!"

Joffrey smiled. "Whatever you say." He was beginning to grow fat now from all the drinking he'd been doing lately.

A big man came into the room. "This is my champion," Joffrey said.

His face was covered by a helmet, but Loras knew who it was. "Gregor Clegane? But I thought Oberyn Martell killed him!"

"He did not kill him hard enough," said Qyburn, who was standing by Joffrey's throne.

Loras glared at Qyburn. "You brought him back to life with your black magic, didn't you?"

"Not magic," said Qyburn. "Science." Gregor himself said nothing at all.

Loras turned to Gregor. "Well, here goes nothing."

Somebody handed Loras a sword and he and Gregor started going at it right there in the throne room. Loras fought hard, but it was obvious there was only one way this was going to end. Loras held off Gregor's thrusts for as long as he could, but finally Gregor managed to bring his blade down on Loras's shoulder, severing his sword arm. Loras howled in pain and dropped to his knees. Gregor threw his own sword aside, grabbed Loras, and crushed his head just as he'd done to Oberyn's.

Joffrey watched the entire thing with amusement. "Justice should be swift, I always say."

And that very day, they executed Margaery Tyrell on the same spot where they'd killed Peter Griffin. As Margaery was being led up to the dais, she stepped on Ilyn Payne's foot.

"I beg your pardon, ser. I did not do it on purpose," she said. Those were her last words before her head was forced onto the chopping block and the axe came down on her neck.

That evening, Jaime finally returned to King's Landing with Myrcella. Joffrey came to meet them at the harbor. He saw that Jaime's skin had turned purple from head to toe!

Joffrey broke out laughing. "What happened to you? Did you forget to wear sunscreen in Dorne?"

"No, I'm pretty sure this is a side effect from the stupid tentacle your friend Qyburn gave me!" Jaime said. "Anyway, I brought Myrcella back safe and sound."

"Good," said Joffrey, but he didn't greet Myrcella. He barely even looked at her.

"Did anything happen while I was gone?" Jaime asked, dreading the answer.

"I killed my wife today!" Joffrey said.

"What? Why?" Jaime cried.

"I'll tell you when we're alone," Joffrey said.

A few hours later, Joffrey and Jaime were in Joffrey's private chambers. "I found out that Margaery's grandmother was the one who killed my mother," Joffrey told Jaime.

Jaime was shocked. "Olenna killed Cersei?"

"She was trying to kill me, but the poison got into Mother's glass by mistake."

"How do you know this?" Jaime asked.

"The triangle told me," Joffrey said, but he didn't give any more explanation than that. "Anyway, I knew I couldn't prove that the Tyrells were responsible for Mother's death. So, I had Margaery arrested on a phony adultery charge. I framed her for a fake crime to punish her for a real one! Grandfather couldn't have planned it better."

"What about Olenna?" Jaime said.

Joffrey shrugged. "Oh, she fled the city yesterday."

"So, she's still out there somewhere? You didn't kill the actual murderer?" Jaime said.

Joffrey waved a hand. "What can she do? She's an old lady! The important thing is that Margaery and her brother are out of the way. And I got a letter from Ramsay Bolton today saying that Stannis is dead. The War of the Five Kings is well and truly over now!"

Joffrey was sure he had won the murderous game of thrones. There was no one left to oppose him, as what he thought. But he didn't know about the queen across the water and her three dragons.
