Ros nunca esteve sob a proteção de Baelish, apenas outro de seus trabalhadores. No final da segunda temporada, Varys emprega Ros como um espião para ele, a fim de seguir os atos de Baelish em torno de Porto Real.
Na época desse episódio, Baelish descobre quem é esse traidor e a devolve a Joffery por um pouco ... divertido como se pode chamá-lo.
A conversa entre Baelish e Varys, que desvenda o enredo, é a seguinte:
Varys: Thwarting you has never been my primary ambition, I promise you. Although who doesn't like to see their friends fail now and then?
Baelish: You're so right. For instance, when I thwarted your plan to give Sansa Stark to the Tyrells. If I'm going to be honest, I did feel an unmistakable sense of enjoyment here. But your confidant, the one who fed you information about my plans, the one you swore to protect...you didn't bring her any enjoyment. And she didn't bring me any enjoyment. She was a bad investment on my part. Luckily, I have a friend who wanted to try something new. Something daring. And he was so grateful to me for providing this fresh experience.
