Sansa says being queen is "the only thing I've ever wanted." HMMMMMM.The conversation Robert and Ned have in front of her statue highlights Robert's hatred of Targaryens and is an early indication as to why Ned would need to protect Jon (Aegon!) from him. Meanwhile, Robert places a feather on Lyanna Stark's statue, which crops up again in Season 5, and which we also saw in the Season 8 teaser.
When they arrive at Winterfell and Robert heads straight for the crypts, Cersei says, "Surely the dead can wait," which pretty much sums up her whole character these days.It's also important to note that when they find the pups, Jon says, "I'm not a Stark," unwittingly foreshadowing the truth about his parentage, something that is reinforced in his discovery of Ghost - a pup who is related and part of the pack, but separate and different. The connection the kids have with the direwolves, as we know, is almost magical, and kind of a living metaphor for their Stark-ness.

Then they discover the direwolf pups, and Jon notices there's one for each of the Stark children, plus a spare for him. It's almost on the nose it's all so obvious, but I love it.
The Starks stumble upon a direwolf and a stag that have killed each other, and Theon mentions a mountain lion might have been involved. This image will crop up again in later seasons. The White Walkers make their first "artwork" and create a symbol in the snow using the dismembered body parts of the slaughtered wildlings. Ser Jorah Mormont gets on Dany's good side by giving her books about the Seven Kingdoms, while Illyrio Mopatis gives her three "stone" dragon eggs. He marries her off to Khal Drogo in order to access his army, and Drogo rapes Dany on their wedding night (ugh, how did I go on to ship them the first time I watched this?!). Her brother Viserys is domineering, slightly mad, a little bit incesty, and obsessed with reclaiming the Iron Throne. Daenerys Targaryen is young, naive, and timid (such a contrast to who she is now!). Oh, and he really, really hates Targaryens and was in love with Lyanna Stark. Robert also wants Sansa and Joffrey to marry. King Robert Baratheon names Ned, his best friend, Hand of the King, and Ned is reluctant AF about it but accepts anyway after learning the Lannisters might have killed Jon Arryn. Meanwhile, Tyrion Lannister is a smart-arse who loves drinking and sex. HE BOINKED HIS SISTER AND PUSHED A CHILD OUT THE WINDOW!!! What has this show done to me?!). We discover that Jaime and Cersei Lannister are twins who bang and that they probably had something to do with the murder of Jon Arryn – and definitely had something to do with Bran's fall (seriously, rewatching it is startling considering Jaime became one of my fave characters. We learn Theon is their ward (although tbh it took me a few episodes to really gather that the first time around!). We get to know their values - "winter is coming" and "the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword". The Starks are happy and together (sob!), except for the minor fact that Catelyn hates Jon and there's tension between Arya and Sansa. We get our first glimpse of the White Walkers (it's wild that they telegraphed them RIGHT FROM THE START but it kind of got lost among everything else happening). Literally so much is set up here (I mean, of course - it's the first ep!).
