"And Now His Watch Is Ended" is the fourth episode of the third season of HBO's fantasy television series Game of Thrones, and the 24th episode of the series. It was written by showrunners and executive producers David Benioff and D. B. Weiss and directed by Alex Graves, his directorial debut for the series.
The episode's title comes from a chant made by the Night's Watch at the funeral of a fallen brother while at Craster's Keep.
Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) asks Lord Varys (Conleth Hill) for proof that Queen Cersei Lannister tried to have him killed during the Battle of the Blackwater. Varys replies that he has none, and explains the story of how he was made a eunuch by a sorcerer in Myr. Once his story concludes, Varys opens a large crate to reveal that the sorcerer is inside and that Varys intends to exact his revenge upon him. Later, Varys gathers information from Ros (Esme Bianco), who reveals that Lord Petyr Baelish may take Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) with him when he leaves for the Eyrie to wed Lysa Arryn. Continuing his investigations, Varys meets with Lady Olenna Tyrell (Diana Rigg) to discuss her interest in Sansa. He warns her that Baelish could become dangerous if he could obtain more power by controlling the heir to the North.
King Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson) takes Lady Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) on a tour of the Great Sept of Baelor, where Cersei (Lena Headey) and Lady Olenna are discussing the wedding. Margaery encourages Joffrey to give love to the people, and takes him outside to wave to the crowd, which angers Cersei. Later, Cersei meets with her father, Tywin (Charles Dance), to discuss the importance of getting Jaime back, as well as the Tyrell presence in King's Landing. Cersei distrusts Margaery for her ability to manipulate Joffrey. Margaery and Sansa get to know one another when Margaery finds Sansa at prayer in the godswood. Margaery expresses her hope that Sansa will come to see the Tyrell seat of Highgarden, but Sansa says Cersei will not allow her to leave King's Landing. Margaery replies that once she is queen, she would see Sansa wed to her brother, Ser Loras.
