When Samuel doesn't die shortly after seeing Sam with his soul for the first time, there's a lot Sam wants to ask him but somehow he doesn't think he really wants to know. But Castiel wasn't always there and it's not like Dean's ever willing to give him answers about the monster he was for a year and a half.

Stannis wins at Blackwater. He's nothing like what Sansa expected her savior to be and is no one's idea of a dashing knight but, just the same, she can't help but hope that this just man will finally allow her to return to her family.

In the aftermath of his successful battle against Stannis, Renly's already small family has shrunken even further. As he makes his plans to continue his campaign for the throne, he attempts to understand why he can't stop thinking about his dead brothers.

Joffrey is a little annoyed at still having to listen to his mother as a king but is perfectly willing to go along with her plan to try and preserve peace by sending Ned Stark off to the Wall. Petyr Baelish has a few ideas about how to throw a spanner in the works. But, as he reminds Joffrey, he's completely in favor of Cersei's brilliant plan.

Robb hadn't seemed pleased that two wards, two marriages, and a squire were the price of a simple river crossing. Catelyn hadn't quite known how to tell him that they had gotten off easy given the demands that Walder Frey had started with.

Robin was always happy to see Ted and that blue French horn brings back a lot of memories but Ted had it right the first time when he said he wasn't that man anymore. They could never go back to those days and if he had to be reminded of that then so be it. Post-finale fix-it.

Danzo was never pleased about the loose end that Sasuke represented but he could live with it.

Tsunade could never understand just why Danzo didn't push for Sasuke to be in the Bingo Book but Itachi is really being quite unreasonable about the matter.

He's so late, in fact, that Itachi simply doesn't have time to wait for him to arrive and discover the massacre and has to go looking for him. But once he finds them how is he really supposed to get Sasuke back home and stick to his script without making the whole thing just seem really weird?
