Purple Wedding (Season 4, Episode 2)
The body count wasn’t that high in this particular scene, but there sure was a copious amount of blood that got spilled. Joffrey Baratheon, everyone’s favorite king, enjoys the festivities of his wedding in this one. He’s about to take Margaery as his queen, and he even gets the chance to mock Tyrion by having dwarves perform for him in the middle of the meal.
However, things go wrong when he takes a sip of his drink. Joffrey falls to ground, his face quickly turning purple as his veins begin to show. Cersei tries to help him, but she can only hold him in her arms as he spews blood everywhere. As one of the more infamous characters in Game of Thrones, it was a shock to see the tone of the episode change so drastically as Joffrey fell prey to a poisoned drink. The last look on his face as he finally dies remains one of the more haunting and gruesome images we’ve seen throughout the series.
