Dany annoys some of the khalasar by rescuing new slaves from rape and murder. Khal Drogo hurt in the raid that won the slaves, backs her up. One of the women Dany saved is a healer and she agrees to patch up the wounded Khal. Mackelly and Simon cast an expert eye over the stitchwork.
Chapter Review:
Khal Drogo\u2019s khalasar stumbles across Khal Ogo and crew attacking a town of sheep-farmers. The peaceful Lhazareen are thrilled when Drogo\u2019s forces attack and destroy the rival Dothraki. However, their relief is short-lived: Drogo\u2019s men finish the job off and destroy the village killing or enslaving everyone.
The warriors set about systematic rape and pillage. Dany, against advice, rescues several women from their plight. This causes dissent in the ranks, but Khal Drogo cannot help but take her side. He\u2019s picked up a few wounds and she wants him to call for a medic. They have their hands full, but one of Dany\u2019s entourage of new slaves (Mirri Maz Duur) offers to help.
Drogo\u2019s blood riders have misgivings. A female healer is obviously a witch of some sort. But Dany thinks she can trust her. Drogo grits his teeth as hot wine is applied and sutures are inserted. Qotho warns Mirri that her life depends on the Khal\u2019s uneventful recovery. Dany is impressed by the bedside manner (of Mirri, not Qotho) and asks her to be midwife at Rhaego\u2019s birth.\xa0
