Daenerys tells Jorah that she sent Daario to take the Second Sons to Yunkai to regain control over the city and kill the masters that have resurfaced. Jorah relates to the mercy shown by Eddard Stark for his dealings in slavery and convinces Daenerys to bring the masters to justice without execution. She dispatches Jorah to catch up with the Second Sons to relay her new decision and appoints Hizdahr zo Loraq as her ambassador to offer the masters a choice, compliance or extermination. The Second Sons will be stationed in Yunkai till further notice.

Queen Selyse speaks to Melisandre. Melisandre tells Selyse about her use of potions and illusions in serving the Lord of Light.

In the Riverlands
Arya and Sandor encounter a dying man in a ransacked village. Sandor gives the man a gift of mercy by stabbing him in the heart. Sandor is ambushed by Biter, and is bitten on the neck. He snaps Biter's neck and drops him dead in the dirt. Rorge encounters them and after a short interrogation is killed by Arya with a quick thrust by Needle to his heart. Afterward, Sandor clumsily addresses his wounds from Biter. Arya suggests burning to cauterize the wound, but is rebuffed by Sandor's fear of fire. Sandor confirms the story of his facial scars from burns inflicted by Gregor's wrath and how his father covered up the truth, making him feel alone. Arya offers to clean and stitch him up, and Sandor allows her to.
Brienne and Podrick stop at an inn to dine on kidney pie made by Hot Pie. Hot Pie tells them at length the process in finding the right ingredients. He then asks of Brienne's business, to which she replies that she is in Lady Stark's service to find and protect her daughters. Hot Pie leaves after addressing the Starks as traitors. As Brienne and Podrick prepare to leave the inn, Podrick reminds Brienne that telling people of their quest could be dangerous. They are soon approached by Hot Pie, who imparts a baked good shaped like a wolf. He tells them that he last saw Arya alive and hints that she was being sought by the Hound. Podrick suggests that they head to the Eyrie.
At the Wall
Jon and his fellow brothers return from Craster's Keep. In first sight of his direwolf, Ghost, Alliser Thorne sends his "beast" away, outside Castle Black.

At the Eyrie
Sansa builds a snow replica of Winterfell. Robin chances upon her and asks where the Moon Door is. Sansa tells him Winterfell doesn't have a Moon Door.

Unable to control her anger, Sansa slaps Robin. Robin threatens to tell his mother and runs away. Petyr Baelish witnesses the action and assures Sansa that he will deal with Lysa. Petyr tells Sansa that she is more beautiful than her mother Catelyn and kisses her. The kiss is seen by Lysa.

Cast notes
- 14 of 26 cast members for the fourth season appear in this episode.
- Starring cast members Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy), Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth), Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister), Stephen Dillane (Stannis Baratheon), Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell), Isaac Hempstead-Wright (Bran Stark), Conleth Hill (Varys), Kristofer Hivju (Tormund Giantsbane), Rose Leslie (Ygritte), Hannah Murray (Gilly), Iwan Rheon (Ramsay Snow) and Sibel Kekilli (Shae) are not credited and do not appear in this episode.
Notes
- The title is a reference to the personal sigil Lord Petyr Baelish chose for himself, that of the mockingbird. As Lord Baelish is the sole member of his house, it has become the sigil associated with House Baelish.
- Due to the Memorial Day holiday in the United States on May 25th, there will be a two week break between episodes 7 and 8 of Season 4.
- It is mentioned for the second time how the Hound's face was burnt. Previously Littlefinger tells it to Sansa, while Arya listens, in "Cripples, Bastards and Broken Things".
- Beginning with this episode, the role of Gregor Clegane has been taken over by Icelandic strongman Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson.
- This marks the first time that Petyr Baelish has directly killed a character. He is considered to be the architect of the War of the Five Kings yet has never killed anyone directly on the show. However, it can be argued that he is responsible for the deaths of many people: In season 1, it is implied that he gave instructions to Lysa Arryn to kill her husband Jon Arryn by putting Tears of Lys in his wine and asked her to send a note to Catelyn Stark saying the Lannisters were guilty. He also betrayed Ned Stark, who was then executed by Ser Ilyn Payne at King Joffrey's command. In season 3, when he found out Ros betrayed him by working for Varys, he sent her to King Joffrey who tortured and killed her. In Season 4, he became the mastermind behind the poisoning of King Joffrey but did not murder him directly. Shortly after the King's death, he had his guards kill Ser Dontos after he delivered Sansa Stark to him.
In the books

Later, Oberyn Martell visits him as well, as a companion rather than a judge. Oberyn then tells Tyrion he will save him as his champion since he wants to avenge the deaths of his sister Elia and her children by fighting against the Mountain.
- Chapter 80, Sansa VII: Sansa finds it snowing outside in the Eyrie and builds a castle that resembles Winterfell. Robin Arryn arrives and ruins part of the castle and Sansa slaps him. Once Robin leaves, Littlefinger soon encounters Sansa and tells her that she is more beautiful than her mother and then kisses her. Sansa is brought before Lysa ,who drags her before the moon door, however Littlefinger comes just in time and tells Lysa to let her go. Littlefinger then tells Lysa that he has loved only one woman (only Cat) and he then shoves Lysa out the Moon Door.
- The episode is adapted from the following chapters of A Feast For Crows:
- Chapter 20, Brienne IV: Brienne and Podrick find out that Arya Stark is alive and is rumored to be traveling with The Hound.
