![]() ![]() The imagination is an effective weapon of terror, and Baelish uses it expertly. Ultimately he sold the woman to a man who, as he describes it, wanted to transform her by subjecting her to things that wouldn’t occur to most men, and then adding softly and chillingly, “and you know what occurs to most men…” Baelish coldly shares the considerable investment he made in her and how her mood was threatening his return on that investment. ![]() He shares with Ros the story of another woman that work for him that became sad and unable to perform as customers wanted. ![]() His soft, soothing voice serves to makes his message more terrifying than if he was angry. Baelish assigns another prostitute to the customer and goes to speak with Ros. Deeply disturbed by witnessing the Gold Cloaks murder of the infant child in the brothel, Ros begins crying while with a customer and can’t stop. In this episode, a revealing and chilling conversation takes place between Littlefinger and Ros. And while it’s possible that Jaime knew of Ned’s whereabouts through Lannister spies, it’s more than plausible that Baelish betrayed Ned. Ned can’t resist and, (in Shakespearian style), he’s ambushed by Jaime Lannister at Baelish’s brothel.

But in this episode, it is Lord Petyr Baelish who is particularly chilling. Joffrey Baratheon, the White Walkers, Ser Gregor Clegane, Lord Tywin Lannister, Cersei Lannister and Ser Janos Slynt would all be worthy of the title of most dangerous. Who is the most dangerous person in Westeros? In the enormous void left after Ned Stark’s death, who would be the most virtuous man of power? While there are many candidates for the most dangerous, there are precious few for the most virtuous (Robb Stark? Renly Baratheon?).
