Stannis’ fleet assaults King’s Landing. Sansa plays the game, trying to manipulate Joffrey into leading the attack personally, (in hopes of getting him killed), but Joffrey turns out to be too afraid to fight personally. Leading the defense, Tyrion destroys many attacking ships with wildfire, forcing Stannis to attack on land. Sandor Clegane leads the defense outside the gate, but is defeated and retreats inside, denouncing Joffrey and leaving.
Joffrey retreats in fear as Tyrion rallies the Gold Cloaks into fighting with him. Stannis’ forces enter the castle, but Tyrion leads his men behind Stannis’ forces via tunnels and mounts a rearguard attack. Cersei goes to the throne room with Tommen, intending to kill him to save him from being captured. Shae convinces Sansa to hide in her chamber. Sandor Clegane offers to take Sansa to Winterfell, but she refuses to leave. As Tyrion lies wounded and Cersei is about to poison Tommen, Tywin’s forces, joined by Loras, arrive and force Stannis to retreat.

The second season of the fantasy drama television series Game of Thrones premiered in the United States on HBO on April 1, 2012, and concluded on June 3, 2012. It was broadcast on Sunday at 9:00 pm in the United States, consisting of 10 episodes, each running approximately 50–60 minutes. The season mostly covers the events of A Clash of Kings, the second novel of the A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin, adapted for television by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. HBO ordered the second season on April 19, 2011, which began filming in July 2011, primarily in Ireland, Northern Ireland, Croatia and Iceland.
Tyrion becomes Hand of the King in the hope of controlling Joffrey and curbing his vicious ways while Stannis is entranced by the witch Melisandre (Carice van Houten) and publicly claims the throne stating Joffrey’s illegitimacy – as Jaime is his real father.
Robb’s armies travel southward with Jaime Lannister as their prisoner of war. Robb sends Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen) to ask for an alliance with his father, Balon Greyjoy (Patrick Malahide). However, Theon betrays Robb and reunites with his family on the Iron Islands – seizing Winterfell. Bran is forced to escape to the wilderness.
Robb also asks Catelyn to meet Renly Baratheon (Gethin Anthony), Stannis’ younger brother who also has a claim to the Iron Throne. Catelyn suggests the brothers join forces but when Renly refuses, he is slain by an evil spirit conjured by Melisandre.
After Renly’s death, Catelyn and Renly’s bodyguard Brienne of Tarth (Gwendolyn Christie) are accused of murder and have to escape. Joining with Robb once more, the women plot to have Jaime returned to King’s Landing to try and exchange him for the captured Sansa.
At the Wall, Jon Snow discovers proof of infant sacrifices and leaves the Night’s Watch to join the Wildlings.
Arya is caught by Lannister soldiers, confined at the castle of Harrenhal and made to work as a servant by patriarch Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance). She flees with help from Jaqen H’ghar (Thomas Wlaschiha), a Faceless Man of Essos.
Stannis strives to attack King’s Landing by boat, but his armies are consumed by wildfire after Tyrion plays a clever trick.
Across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys travels to Qarth, where she hopes to get support for her invasion of Westeros. This does not go as planned and she is captured in the House of the Undying, along with her dragons. However, she eventually escapes and destroys the city.
