The Purple Wedding
Episode 2
Joffrey's death was met with joy, with the sadistic king poisoned at his own wedding feast. We later learn Littlefinger and Olenna were among the conspirers. Director Alex Graves tells THR that it was difficult saying goodbye to Joffrey actor Jack Gleeson, and the character's death would have big reverberations for years to come: "Joffrey's death affects the show through to the climax."
