21. The Ghost Of Harrenhal (Season 2, Episode 5)
This episode features the death of Renly Baratheon by a shadow that was conceived by Stannis Baratheon and Melisandre, and the immediate fallout of that act. Brienne witnesses the murder and sees the shadow wearing Stannis' face, to the disbelief of everyone she's mentioned it to since. In addition, Tyrion has a humorous conversation with Lancel Lannister about his relationship with Cersei. So that's two major plot points that come back to haunt top level powerful characters before the end of season 5 dealt with in one episode. At Harrenhal, Arya collects the first of the three deaths from Jaqen Hghar, as The Tickler ends up with a broken neck.
