Renly undresses his lover and notes his badly bruised chest before kissing the marks. Loras stops him and complains about Brienne's appointment to the Kingsguard being a further humiliation after she bested him in the tournament.
Renly cites Brienne's devotion and then realizes that Loras is jealous. Loras denies jealousy, mocking her as "Brienne the beauty", a nickname Brienne has been condescended with since adolescence. Renly begins to undo Loras' britches, saying that he will make it up to him. Loras stops him and says that he must devote his attentions to another Tyrell that night. He reminds Renly of his responsibilities to their alliance and warns him that his vassals are gossiping about his bride still being a virgin two weeks after their marriage.
Renly is disbelieving of Margaery's virginity and Loras says that she is still officially a virgin before going to fetch her. Renly pours himself wine as he waits. When Margaery enters he warns her that he may have drunk too much.
She says it is his right as a king and he compliments her gown. She says she is unsure how she likes it as a pretext to take it off. Renly says that she does not need the gown and she leans in to kiss him. He says that beauty concealed can be more desired but she silences him and persists despite his reluctance. She reaches for his crotch and he blames the wine for his lack of arousal. She offers to take care of it and unlaces his britches.
He breaks off their kiss and apologizes. She offers to ask Loras to come in and help. He is stunned at her forwardness. She says that she could turn over so that Renly can pretend that she is Loras if he would prefer. He claims to not understand what she means. She smiles and says that he can be open with her and should save his lies for court because he will need a lot of them.
She sits next to him on their bed and says that their enemies will be thwarted if he gets her pregnant. She offers him the choice of how he would like to do it; either with her alone or with her and Loras. She says that he can choose because he is a king and kisses him on the cheek.
Petyr follows Renly into his tent and Renly criticizes his lack of loyalty. Petyr says that he is a practical man and Renly says that he dislikes Petyr and demands to know why he is there. Petyr looks to Brienne and Renly says that her loyalty comes without charge and she can be trusted. Renly says that Petyr is trying to protect himself in the face of his inevitable victory.
Stannis meets Renly on the coast of the Stormlands to parley. Stannis is accompanied by Melisandre , an Asshai'i priestess , Ser Davos Seaworth and several guards.
Renly brings Catelyn, Brienne and Loras along with his own guards. Renly wonders if it is really Stannis and feigns confusion over his banner. Renly jokes that the battle would be confusing if they both used the same one.
Melisandre explains that Stannis has taken the fiery heart of the Lord of Light for his sigil. Renly says that she must be the fire priestess he has heard so much about and jokes that he now knows why Stannis found religion late in life.
Stannis warns his brother to watch his tongue. Renly says that he is relieved that Stannis is not really a fanatic and calls him charmless, rigid and a bore but not godly. Renly jokes that she makes Stannis sound like a ham.
Stannis again warns his brother. Catelyn admonishes them to stop bickering and remember that they are brothers. Stannis counters that he would expect her to support his claim as Eddard did. He says that Eddard died for his integrity yet she sits beside a pretender. She says that they share a common enemy and Stannis retorts that the Iron Throne is his by right and that all who deny it are his enemies, to which Renly quips that every living Westerosi, from the Wall to Dorne denies his kingship.
Renly says that no-one wants Stannis for their king. Renly says that Stannis never wanted friends but that a man without friends is a man without power.
Stannis says that he will give Renly the night to reconsider for the sake of their mother. He offers to restore Renly to his seat on the council and to name him as his heir until he has a son if he strikes his banners; otherwise he will destroy Renly. Renly reminds Stannis of his numerous supporters and says that they will make him king. Stannis rides away as Melisandre warns Renly to look to his sins because "the night is dark and full of terrors.
Catelyn meets with Renly in his command tent. Two of his kingsguard are outside while Brienne stands watch inside the tent. Renly has Catelyn swear that her son Robb has no interest in challenging him for the Iron Throne. Renly drinks from a goblet thoughtfully and announces that he sees no reason for hostility between them. He offers his terms; Robb can retain the title of King in the North, and control of all lands north of Moat Cailin , but must swear fealty to Renly as Eddard did to Robert eighteen years earlier.
Renly stands before a mirror and Brienne helps him out of his cloak. Catelyn beseeches him to reconsider negotiating with Stannis. He asks her to take his terms to Robb and says that he sees them as natural allies and hopes that Robb feels the same. He suggests that acting together they could end the war in a fortnight.
An unnatural gust parts the tents opening and black smoke rushes inside. Catelyn and Brienne are stunned while Renly watches transfixed in his mirror. The smoke coalesces into a human shape and stabs Renly through the chest. In the mirror its face resembles Stannis. The smoke dissipates and Renly collapses forward. Brienne wails and catches him as he slides to the ground dead.
Brienne kills both men while defending herself against their accusations. Brienne is still blamed by many for Renly's murder, so she flees the camp with Catelyn. Renly's body is laid on a slab while Loras grieves and vows to kill Stannis for this, as he doesn't believe Brienne is responsible.
Littlefinger and Margaery persuade him to leave for Highgarden, as he cannot take revenge if he is dead. Renly's forces largely swear fealty to Stannis when he arrives the next day.
House Tyrell lead their troops back to Highgarden. As Brienne escorts Jaime Lannister back to King's Landing at the behest of Catelyn Stark in an attempt to exchange him for her daughters, he inquires as to how she came to be in Lady Catelyn's service. With minimal probing, he quickly realizes she had originally pledged for Renly.
Jaime then proceeds to make cruel japes at Brienne for loving Renly whose "proclivities were the worst kept secret at court. Later, when the two of them are sharing a communal bath against Brienne's wishes , Jaime, who has since lost his sword hand, reminds her of the vow she made to deliver him to King's Landing in one piece.
He agitates her for failing to protect Renly but quickly apologizes upon gauging her reaction. Jaime then regales Brienne with what really happened when he slew the Mad King , and asks her if she would have kept her oath if Renly had commanded her to do the same things as Aerys did, but Brienne is too stunned by Jaime's story to answer.
Meanwhile, over in Dragonstone, Stannis makes preparations to have Robert's bastard son Gendry sacrificed as part of his plan to win the Iron Throne. His Hand Davos Seaworth tries to dissuade him from doing so by reminding him that Gendry shares his blood, to which Stannis replies, "So did Renly. Several weeks after their arrival in King's Landing, Brienne visits Margaery and describes what she saw and how the shadow had Stannis's face; she assures Margaery that she will find a way to avenge their king.
During the wedding feast, a play also takes place in which the War of the Five Kings is acted out by dwarves, including a dwarf playing the role of Renly. Loras witnesses the play and is visibly upset by the way Renly is represented in it.
Following a sequence in which the Renly dwarf is repeatedly stabbed by the Stannis dwarf, echoing the events of the real murder, Loras is so angry and distraught that he storms away from the event, knocking his chair over as he goes.
She reveals that as a young girl, her father held a ball and invited dozens of young lords in order to find a good match for her. Brienne was captivated by all the attention she was getting, but her happiness turned to embarrassment when Brienne realized they were all just toying with her.
Before she could run away, Renly took Brienne into his arms and told her that those "nasty little shits aren't worth crying over" and danced with her. As Podrick starts to bring up Renly's homosexuality, Brienne somewhat irritably acknowledges that she knew Renly was only interested in men and that he was only being kind to her, but that still didn't stop her from loving him. She says that there is nothing more hateful than failing to protect the ones you love, and intends to avenge Renly by killing Stannis, whom she correctly believes played a role in Renly's murder after witnessing his death by a Shadow resembling Stannis.
Meanwhile, back in King's Landing, Renly's lover Loras is arrested by the Faith Militant on charges of buggery after being informed upon by Cersei.
During his holy inquest by the Faith, the High Sparrow grills him about his relationship with Renly. Loras of course denies that he was ever Renly's lover, that they were merely friends and he was wrong to support his claim to the Iron Throne, adding that he fought for Joffrey at the Battle of the Blackwater.
The High Sparrow points out that Loras was wearing Renly's armor at that battle, making his testimony sound less believable but Loras stands his ground, saying he never lay with Renly or any other men. His sister Margaery, who of course was also Renly's widow for a time, defends her brother when she is called upon to testify but this leads to her own arrest for perjury when the Faith bring forth the prostitute Olyvar , who truthfully tells them that about his own relationship with Loras.
Renly is finally avenged by Brienne following the Battle of Winterfell where Stannis's army is smashed by the forces of Roose Bolton.
Brienne finds a wounded Stannis, sentences him to die and personally kills him after he acknowledges his role in Renly's murder.
After Brienne and Sansa Stark reach Winterfell, Brienne later confronts Davos Seaworth and Melisandre, and tells them that she was the one who killed Stannis after his confession about Renly's death, leaving the two of Stannis's former allies stunned. He seemed more bemused than inflamed by her advances. At some point whilst lord of Storm's End he took a young Loras Tyrell as a squire. This was likely the start of their secret love affair. Brella ran his household whilst he was in King's Landing.
Ser Cortnay Penrose served as the castellan of Storm's End. He is "near twenty" when we first meet him. He is present when Arya Stark is brought before the king. He laughs out loud when hearing of Prince Joffrey Baratheon 's defeat at the hands of a small girl, and at the name that Joffrey had given his sword. Renly is dispatched ahead of the royal party, with the orders to command Grand Maester Pycelle to convene a meeting of the small council. There, he reveals that Robert has left orders for a tourney to be arranged, celebrating the appointment of Lord Eddard Stark as Hand of the King.
He later rides in said tourney, being unhorsed by Sandor Clegane , who sends him flying. His impact is such that a part of the golden antler on his helm cracks, which he graciously gifts to Sandor, who throws it into the commons dismissively. Renly is considered a favourite of the spectators. While his brother lies dying, Renly proposes to Eddard to strike when the castle sleeps, wanting to take control. Or that's his plan, anyway.
Sometimes it seems as if Margaery would discard even her own family for a shot at the throne, and it should never be forgotten. Margaery is willing to marry even Joffrey after having it revealed to her how much of a monster he is, because it's her chance to be queen , so never mistake her alliance with Renly as being fond. She'd have married him regardless of if she's fond of him or not. Stannis is already married, and has a reputation for being very stern, so the chances of him leaving his wife Selyse for Margaery are slim no matter how hard she might want to try.
Stannis, being the middle brother, is a better candidate for the throne since it should technically fall to him, and Renly is just the next best option even though his claim is laughably weak while Stannis is alive. Margaery's ambition rivals that of Cersei Lannister. Viewers can assume that if she was ever in a position to throw Renly to the wolves or the lions, as it might be in this show for a chance at the throne, she would do it.
Her perceived lack of loyalty is not the mark of a good or genuine friend, even if she may not necessarily feel malicious towards Renly. Renly is selfish by nature. He fights for a throne on the basis that he thinks he might be a more likable ruler than Stannis, doesn't seem particularly cut up about Robert's death and, especially in the books, makes wildly cutting comments about his brothers — and even his niece, who is a young girl who's done nothing to him.
This marked the first and most overt time that magic influenced the mundane in Westeros; a war between men was averted because of a living shadow powered by a dark god of fire. But, suddenly, larger forces were altering the course of history. In retrospect, this is the moment when Game of Thrones transitioned from realpolitik to surrealpolitik, though there was still a healthy balance back then. What this murderous shadow meant for Westeros, though, was the quick elimination of one-fifth of the War of the Five Kings.
