SPOILER ALERT! Justice is served! Lord Baelish takes matters into his own hands in shock Game Of Thrones ending

They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

But it seems a man can be pretty dangerous too after Lord Baelish dealt with his jealous wife in a particularly brutal manner on Sunday's Game Of Thrones.

The cunning character had played his true love Catelyn Stark's sister Lysa Arryn like a fiddle, having her kill her Hand Of The King husband Jon before penning a letter to her sibling pinning the blame on the Lannisters, setting the whole story in motion.

Marital bliss? Lord Baelish decides marriage is not for him on the latest episode of Game Of Thrones

Should have stuck with Jon Arryn: No doubt Lysa regretted poisoning her noble spouse during her plunge

And he managed to fool her one last time when she almost threw her niece Sansa, the latest object of his affections, down her castle's Moon Door to the mountains below.

When he ordered her to stop, she reluctantly barked: 'You want her this empty headed child? She's just like her mother she'll never love you.'

However Littlefinger won her over, telling her: 'I'll send her away. I swear on my life. I swear on all the gods. Let her go Lysa.'

Despite his previous form for lying and cheating, she believed him, allowing the eldest Stark daughter to scamper away from certain doom.

Higher than it looks: Things looked grim for Sansa when her aunt Lysa decided to throw her down the Moon's Door

Calm down: Unexpected ladies man Petyr Baelish emerged and managed to talk his new wife out of it

There there: It seemed the cunning nobleman was going to try and calm his spouse following her impolite outburst

He then helped his new wife, who he only married in the last episode, to her feet before holding her in an uncomfortable embrace.

The former Master Of Coin cruelly told her: 'Oh my sweet wife. My sweet silly wife. I have only loved one woman, only one my entire life. Your sister.'

He then pushed her down The Eyrie's Moon Door, sending her to her doom.

It is a moment sure to have big consequences, especially as Lord Baelish has his eye on his former unrequited love's daughter.

Don't be cruel: But in a twist that would shock Bobby Brown he said he had never loved her at all

It's cheaper than a divorce: He then puts his latest sinister plan in motion by shoving her down the hole

Going: At least she would not be screaming for long as she tumbled into the sharp rocks below

Gone: And her frugal husband will not even have to spend money on an expensive royal funeral

The whole event was set in motion after she had slapped Lysa's brat son Lord Robin Arryn for smashing up a snow model she had made of her home of Winterfell.

Littlefinger saw the whole thing, and expertly used her emotional state to win her over.

Foreshadowing what was to come, he said: 'A lot can happen between now and never. If you want a better home, first you must demolish the old one.'

He explained to her he had only ever loved her mother, had killed King Joffrey to avenge her, and then told her she was even more beautiful than Catelyn.

He then told her to 'call me Petyre, before kissing her in the lips, though it was soon clear Lysa had spotted them.

After calling Sansa for a meeting in the throne room, she discussed the keep's Moon Door, saying the drop was 'Hundreds of feet. Its fascinating what happens when bodies hit the rocks some such a height.'

Bad behaviour: Brat Lord Robin Arryn decided to smash up his future wife's snow model of Winterfell

That must sting: She gave him a firm slap across the face for his trouble causing him to storm off

Lending his support: Littlefinger said he had saw the whole thing and that the boy had a smack coming

Old smoothie: The powerful lord told Sansa she was more beautiful than her mother then gave her a kiss

She then grabbed her unwitting young rival, and was just about to send her to her death before Littlefinger stormed in.

There were plenty of other major events in the episode Mockingbird, the title an obvious reference to Baelish, who had literally raided the nest of the honourable Jon Arryn, a mentor to both Eddard Stark and the future king Robert Baratheon.

The most crucial concerned that of Tyrion Lannister's trial by combat.

Accused of murdering King Joffrey, he was so angry his lover Shae had been turned against him he decided to risk all in the winner takes all form of justice at the end of the previous episode.

His brother Jaime, who had been the greatest swordsman in the land, confessed he could not fight for him as he could 'no longer best a stable boy' without his right hand.

His right hand man: Unfortunately for Tyrion his brother Jaime admitted he could not even best a stable boy now he has to use his left in combat

No need to worry: Thankfully Tyrion was sure his old chum Ser Bronn of the Blackwater could save his rear

Making matters worse, the dwarf's best friend Ser Bronn of the Blackwater revealed he had been bought off, though he would have liked to stand by his friend if the price was right.

However he said he was too scared of his potential opponent, with whom a single slip would be deadly, to risk his life on an uncertain reward.

The duo left on good terms, with Tyrion saying, 'you're an evil bastard with no conscience and no heart - that's why I liked you in the first place.'

However it was his vengeful sister Cersei's decision to use the Lannister family's most powerful henchman Ser Gregor Clegane to mete out justice that could prove her undoing..

Cloak and dagger: As honest as ever his closest ally admitted he had been bought off with a new wife and the promise of riches by Cersei

Parting on good terms: The dwarf admired his friend's usual candour and wished him all the best

The fearful warrior known as The Mountain was shown butchering some convicts, before agreeing to serve as the Crown's champion.

However this prompted the vengeful Prince Oberyn Martell to pay a visit to the embattled nobleman.

He explained they had met before, when Tyrion was still a baby, and explained it had been a massive let down after being told he was a 'monster' by Cersei, who like her father Tywin blamed him for her mother's death.

Oberyn said: 'She unveiled the freak. Your head was a bit large, your arms and legs were a bit small but no claw. No red eye, no tail between your legs, just a tiny pink c***.

He explained how his sister abused him, before being stopped by Jaime, and said she hoped he would die soon, a revelation that caused Tyrion to burst into tears.

They think it's all over: Even Tyrion could not think up a cunning plan to beat his current situation

The enemy of my enemy is my friend: The powerful Prince Oberyn Martell paid a visit and explained he had met him when he was just a 'monster' baby

However he said what he truly wanted above all was justice for his sister Elia Targaryen, the wife of a previous heir to the throne who had been killed and raped during the sacking of King's Landing under the orders of his father.

He said: 'I've come to the perfect place. I want to bring those who have wronged me to justice and all those who have wronged me are right here.

'I will begin with Ser Gregor Clegane, who killed my sister's children, then raped her when their blood was still on his hands before killing her too.

'I will be your champion.'

Moved to tears: Old wounds were opened when the Red Viper said his sister had hoped he would die in his crib

Emerging from the shadows: But there was new hope for everyone's favourite character when the fearsome warrior said he would stand as his champion to settle old scores

In the red corner: The fight is hardly a gimme as The Mountain was showed effortlessly cleaving men in two before accepting vengeful Cersei's request to the the Crown's champion

While the outcome of the forthcoming duel is very much uncertain, at least everyone's favourite dwarf stands a fighting chance, as Oberyn, who is known as The Red Viper Of Dorne, is one of the most lethal warriors in Westeros.

Other developments in the dramatic episode included The Mountain's brother Sandor Clegane finally admitting to his captive-cum-partner in crime Arya Stark how his brother had brutally burned his face as a boy.

He also allowed her to tend a wound he sustained during their latest ruckus on the road to The Eyrie, where he hopes to deliver her to safety to her now departed aunt, while receiving a sizable reward in the process.

Jon Snow also returned to Castle Black, but master-of-arms Alliser Thorne again failed to listen to his tactical advice about sealing the tunnel out of the keep to further fortify their position, almost driving the steward to force a confrontation.

Meanwhile: The fascinating relationship between The Hound and Arya took another turn when he admitted how he was scarred for life by his brother

The best of enemies: She may claim to hate him but her concern for his wound revealed her true feelings

Meanwhile Daenerys Targaryen spent the night amorous sell-sword Daario, before telling him to take the Second Sons to Yunkai to kill the slave masters that have resurfaced.

However Ser Jorah Mormont wisely tells her how her was shown mercy by Eddard Stark for his dealings in slavery, persuading her to try diplomacy before slaughter.

Finally Brienne of Tarth's quest to track down Sansa took a fortuitous turn when she stopped at an inn and was serviced Hot Pie, one of Arya's friends from their time as one of Yoren's recruits for the Night's Watch, among other adventures.

He tips them off about how she had been taken captive by Sandor, and after her increasingly useful squire Podrick suggests that they head to the Eyrie to find her it sets them on an unwitting collision course with their true target.

A tasty discovery: Brienne of Tarth's naive honesty paid off when Hot Pie gave her a useful morsel of information

Not as dumb as he looks: Her new squire Podrick suggested they head for The Eyrie to find Arya, where they could also meet up with the object of their quest Sansa

looking at how everyone screams that the article ruined the episode for them or spoilers spoilers spoilers.. he's a novel idea, don' come on the website, specifically the tv section until you have seen the episode? I know it might sound like a radical idea, but it is something common sense should dictate. But if that is too hard to do, i have a question for you.. how are you even still alive with zero common sense?

Again, WHY the big spoilers? What is the big reason behind that? Why is so essential? Or, as I said before in a perfectly reasonable way, why not go soft on the spoilers and leave it open for those who truly want to read them? THAT would be 'common sense'... and, BTW, 'how am I still alive'? Possibly thanks to not meeting utterly unreasonable and arrogant people like your good self, JGS.

Here's the correct way to do it, DM... print SPOILER ALERT (ok, you got that bit right), a very vague description in the thumbnail and NO (can't stress this one enough) picture of the big twist at the end of the episode... as others have said, people can process this stuff in about one second before they realise what they're reading and have it spoiled, so it's not use saying 'well don't read it then...' and yet you do it week after week, despite the upset comments... the disdain shown for the DM's loyal readers is quite shocking.

So, 'Honestly', I am not allowed to check out current news stuff because this site puts out ridiculously spoiler-y stuff for no good reason whatsoever? I think the point I made were quite reasonable, it could be done in a way that would not wind people up. And, yes, I could go to other news sites... but why is the DM constantly doing this to their readers if they want them to keep reading? I'm genuinely confused by this...

If you were spoiled by this, it's your own fault. Don't roam on the Internet (especially on an entertainment news site!!!!) if you haven't seen the latest episode of what is arguably the most popular show currently on air.
