"The Old Gods and the New" is the second episode scripted by the season's new addition to the writing staff Vanessa Taylor, adapting the material taken from the following chapters of George R. R. Martin's original work A Clash of Kings: Arya VIII, Daenerys III, Tyrion IX, Bran VI, Jon VI; the opening scene with the ironborn taking Winterfell uses elements from three different chapters: Theon IV, V, VI. Some of the most significant changes from the books include Jon not letting Ygritte leave after refusing to execute her, the executions of Rodrik and Irri, Arya using her second wish to kill Amory Lorch instead of Weese, a cruel understeward who does not appear in the series; the Reed children have not been introduced yet: in the books they aid in Bran and Rickon's escape from Winterfell.

Furthermore, at this point the Qarth storyline is only loosely based on the source material, as the theft of Daenerys' dragons does not occur in the books. This episode features the introduction of Rose Leslie playing the Wildling woman Ygritte; the producers had seen her in Downton Abbey, where she had played Gwen Dawson, they had admired her ability to do Northern accents.

Acharia was surprised when she found out that Irri died, but felt that the death served a purpose making Daenerys more isolated. A scene depicting how Irri was strangled was filmed but was not included in the final montage.

The actress revealed: "I think it's hard to be strangled onscreen because to an extent to make it look real, you have to be a bit strangled. So I had massive bruises on my neck the next day. I was proud. Battle scars." The episode's interior shots continued to be filmed at Belfast's The Paint Hall, while the scenes at Winterfell and Harrenhal were filmed at the sets built at Moneyglass and Banbridge, respectively.

Lisa and the Devil is a 1974 horror film directed by Mario Bava. The film was released in Spain as El diablo se lleva; the story involves a young American tourist who stays the night at the home of a family of Spanish aristocrats whose house is plagued by supernatural evil and dark secrets involving necrophilia. After the popularity of the film The Exorcist, scenes were added by producer Alfredo Leone and Lamberto Bava which gave the film an exorcism theme and re-released it as The House of Exorcism in the United States. Tourist Lisa Reiner wanders away from her tour group in Toledo to go shopping inside a store, where she encounters a man named Leandro, purchasing a dummy and a carousel Lisa attempts to buy. Due to his resemblance to the portrait of the devil in a fresco she has just seen, Lisa flees, only to be confronted by a mustachioed gentleman...who falls from a flight of stairs to his apparent death. When she fails to find back to the tour group, she takes refuge with a couple and their driver, who agree to help Lisa get to her hotel.

But their car breaks down in front of a crumbling mansion where Lisa discovers that Leandro works as the butler. The couple persuade Leandro to let them stay. Lisa attempts to flee, but the Countess' son Maximilian stops Lisa and agrees to let the three stay over the objections of his mother, a blind Countess; the obscure, mustachioed man continues to stalk Lisa as further mysteries unfold: the Countess and her son have a fourth guest in the mansion, a mysterious figure, held prisoner inside a secret room. The Countess, Maximilian and the mustachioed man claim that Lisa is "Elena", Maximilian's long-lost girlfriend, once frightened away by his jealous mother. Through a series of waking dreams, it is revealed that Elena was secretly sleeping with Carlos and that he was plotting to leave the jealous and reclusive Countess. After seeing Leandro preparing Carlos' body for burial juxtaposed with Carlos being alive, Lisa freaks out. Carlos attempts one last time to whisk Lisa away but Maximilian kills him.

Lisa faints. Leandro repairs the dummy; the driver is promptly killed by a mysterious figure after fixing the car. Leandro offers to cover up the crime to his employers so long; when the husband demands his wife leave with him, she runs over him, only to be brutally murdered by Maximilian. While Lisa is unconscious, Leandro dresses her like Elena, he gives a speech about how he is a demon, indebted to the Countess and her son. The mansion is cursed and the Countess, her son, the couple, their driver, Elena are forced to relive their deaths again and again, with dummies being procured by the demon to represent the players as they repeat the cycle of death. Lisa's arrival negated his inability to find a Lisa dummy to represent her in this latest incarnation. Lisa finds the Countess, who has discovered the young wife's corpse. Lisa intends to escape, but a defeated and browbeaten Maximilian has started to believe that Lisa is just like Elena, he takes her to his secret room, where Elena's corpse and ghost are revealed to be the mystery prisoner.

Maximilian drugs Lisa, strips her naked and rapes her, only to have the ghost of Elena laugh at him mid-rape and cause him to stop. Furious, he goes downstairs and confesses his crimes to his mother, who wants him to kill Lisa to keep anyone from finding out what he has done. Maximilian reveals to his mother his crimes: having murdered his stepfather to avenge his betrayal of the Countess and his stepson, Maximilian imprisoned Elena rather than risk allowing her to leave and inform the police. Maximilian kills his mother when he realizes that she will never let him leave her or allow him to have a relationship with Lisa. After doing so, Maximilian is shocked to find all of his victims waiting for him at a table; as his mother attempts to kill him, Maximilian jumps from a window but is impaled on the metal fence below. Leandro reveals himself behind the corpses making their appearance and says that Maximilian "accidentally slipped." Lisa wakes up the next morning, with the mansion in ruins. She finds the dummy representing Maximilian.

In town, she runs into Leandro, presented with an "Elena" doll by the shop keeper. Leandro refuses the doll as Lisa boards her plane, intending to leave Spain; the entire plane turns out to be empty. She discovers the corpse of the women she met the previous night. Rushing to find the pilot, she discovers him to be Leandro. Lisa collapses, reverting to a dummy, as it is implied that Lisa was some form of reincarnation/dummy doppelganger of Elena and that Leandro has reclaimed her.

Mockingbirds are a group of New World passerine birds from the family Mimidae. They are best known for the habit of some species mimicking the songs of other birds and the sounds of insects and amphibians loudly and in rapid succession. There are about 17 species in three genera; these do not appear to form a monophyletic lineage: Mimus and Nesomimus are quite related. Melanotis is more distinct because it seems to represent a ancient basal lineage of Mimidae; the only mockingbird found in North America is the northern mockingbird. The Greek word polyglottos means multiple languages. Mimus: Brown-backed mockingbird, Mimus dorsalis Bahama mockingbird, Mimus gundlachii Long-tailed mockingbird, Mimus longicaudatus Patagonian mockingbird, Mimus patagonicus Chilean mockingbird, Mimus thenca White-banded mockingbird, Mimus triurus Northern mockingbird, Mimus polyglottos Socorro mockingbird, Mimus graysoni Tropical mockingbird, Mimus gilvus Chalk-browed mockingbird, Mimus saturninusFormerly Nesomimus: Hood mockingbird, Mimus macdonaldi Galápagos mockingbird, Mimus parvulus Floreana mockingbird or Charles mockingbird, Mimus trifasciatus San Cristóbal mockingbird, Mimus melanotisMelanotis: Blue mockingbird, Melanotis caerulescens Blue-and-white mockingbird, Melanotis hypoleucus When the survey voyage of HMS Beagle visited the Galápagos Islands in September to October 1835, the naturalist Charles Darwin noticed that the mockingbirds Mimus thenca differed from island to island, were allied in appearance to mockingbirds on the South American mainland.

Nearly a year when writing up his notes on the return voyage he speculated that this, together with what he had been told about Galápagos tortoises, could undermine the doctrine of stability of species. This was his first recorded expression of his doubts about species being immutable, which led to his being convinced about the transmutation of species and hence evolution.
