What is the title of the Game of Thrones season 1 finale?

The story behind the answer

The title of the Game of Thrones season 1 finale is “Fire and Blood.” It is the tenth and final episode of the season, first broadcast on HBO on June 19, 2011.

The title comes from the words “Fire and Blood,” the motto of House Targaryen. That connection is especially important because the episode ends with Daenerys Targaryen surviving the funeral pyre and emerging with three newly hatched dragons, a turning point for the series.

The episode also follows the immediate aftermath of Ned Stark’s execution. Sansa is held captive in King’s Landing, Arya escapes in disguise, Robb is proclaimed King in the North, and Jon Snow struggles between his Night’s Watch vows and his family. A common mix-up is choosing “Baelor,” which is episode 9 and the installment immediately before the finale. “The Kingsroad” is episode 2, while “The Pointy End” is episode 8.
