Tyrion\\u2019s is betrayed by Shae and demands a trial by combat. Oberyn Martell steps up and defeats the Mountain, but then lets his guard down and the Mountain crushes his head, and Tyrion\\u2019s hopes. Simon and Mackelly rue the day.

Chapter Review:
Tyrion Lannister weighs the offer of Oberyn Martell, but for now allows the trial to continue. Podrik Payne cannot vouch for Tyrion\\u2019s innocence, which suggests that few will. The last witness is a surprise: Shae. Of course Cersei would have interviewed, and coerced, Sansa\\u2019s handmaids. But Shae is not only going to lie for Cersei, she\\u2019s also going to tell the truth. Tyrion and Sansa plotted the murder and Tyrion used her sexually and forced her to refer to him as \\u201cher giant of Lannister.\\u201d The crowd\\u2019s laughter is too much for Tyrion and he demands the trial by combat.

Cersei is thrilled to announce that the Mountain Gregor Clegane will fight for her, but the whole room is stunned when Oberyn Martell offers to champion Tyrion\\u2019s cause. Tywin is furious. Tyrion realizes that this situation has no good outcomes for Tywin. If Oberyn wins, the Tyrells will be annoyed, and Tyrion freed. If the Mountain wins, Tyrion will be dead and the Martells might crown Myrcella, Plunging Westeros into another civil war.

Oberyn outwits and defeats the Mountain, with his poisoned spear. But then stands on the vanquished Clegane\\u2019s chest to extract a deathbed confession. He gets one, Gregor did rape and murder Elia, and murder her children, but it\\u2019s Oberyn\\u2019s deathbed. The Mountain trips him and crushes his skull. Tyrion\\u2019s hopes die with the Red Viper.
