Oathkeeper (episode)

"Oathkeeper" is the fourth episode of the fourth season of Game of Thrones. It is the thirty-fourth episode of the series overall. It premiered on April 27, 2014. It was written by producer Bryan Cogman and directed by Michelle MacLaren.

At Meereen
Missandei teaches Grey Worm how to speak the  Common Tongue. Dany commands him and several Unsullied to infiltrate Meereen disguised as slaves and convince the slaves to rise against their masters, providing them with weapons.The uprising is successful and Dany orders the crucifixion of 163 of the masters, just like the 163 children on the road to Meereen had been crucified.

At King's Landing
During the sword training, Bronn implores Jaime to visit his brother Tyrion in the dungeon. Jaime does visit Tyrion, who tells him that he had nothing to do with the murder of Joffrey. Jaime tells Tyrion that Cersei offers a knighthood to whomever captures Sansa Stark. Tyrion insists that Sansa has nothing to do with the murder, despite having the best motive.

Olenna tells Margaery that she is about to leave for Highgarden and that Cersei will turn Tommen against Margaery, if  Margaery  doesn't act fast. Margaery enters Tommens chambers, slipping past the Kingsguard and effectively seduces him in a half sexual, half maternal way. She puts into Tommens mind the idea that one day she will be his and they might as well learn to like each other. She kisses him on the forehead and leaves.
