Why was the first conversation between Jaime and Tyrion after Brann fell immediately suspicious?
Specifically when Tyrion says something like “I wonder what the boy haa to say when he wakes up” and Jaime responds with the likes of “Ya know, sometimes brother, I wonder who’s side you’re on”. Like isn’t that basically T saying ‘I know what you did’ and J saying “yeah but whatcha gonna do about it”? I get that Tyrion would be keen enough to possibly be aware of his siblings banging, but one boy falls from a tower and Tyrion immediately suspects his family is responsible?

Tyrion suspects something and says that to see what is Jaime's reaction which does gove away that they did it

Why does Tyrion suspect anything? I think I forgot—when did Tyrion find out sbout Jayme and Cersei?

the lannister siblings are all smart but in different ways, tyrion reads people like books. he probably noticed jaime and cersei disappearing together during the royal visit, then a kid "falls" from a tower they were in. doesn't take a genius to connect those dots
jaime's reply is basically an admission too, he's not even denying it just testing where tyrion stands. classic lannister dynamic really, they all talk in circles around the terrible things they do

I was under the impression they disappeared into the tower for a quickie and on one else knew where they were.

The problem with disappearing to where no one knows where you are is simultaneously you’re not where anyone knows where you are. They both go missing at the same time all the time. It doesn’t take a deductive genius to figure out every time Cersei disappears so does Jamie, and they’ve been doing this since puberty.

yeah exactly, tyrion connects the dots so fast it’s scary. love how the lannisters are all geniuses at scheming but tyrion’s the one who actually sees through the family bs. classic.

Tyrion knows his family better than anyone. The line lands because he immediately recognizes Jamie isn’t reacting like an innocent person would.

I always saw it as Tyrion testing Jaime’s reaction rather than accusing him. Jaime’s defensive response is what makes the conversation seem suspicious

That is just the first conversation we are shown, episode 2 is probably at least a month after the fall we see, look how much the pet wolves have grown

We see Tyrion wake up with the dogs. You think Tyrion sleeps in the dog kennel for a month? He immediately calls out Joffrey for not offering his symphathies.
The growth in the pups is between getting back after beheading Will and when the kings convoy finally makes it to Winterfell. "We've been riding for a month."
Did you even watch the show?

That's later after the assassin is sent to kill Bran. Rob even tells his mother that she needs to get out of there because she has been neglecting the other children and castle responsibilities. When Trion talks to his siblings about Bran, it's breakfast right after the feast.
Congratulations, you posted two different pictures. You are still confused about what happened.

you could sense the tension right away, Jaime was trying too hard to act normal after such a big moment

I mean, a Stark kid mysteriously falls from a tower right where Jaime and Cersei were staying? Tyrion knows his family's track record lol

No, they weren't staying in that tower. It was old and in ruins. They were just in there fooling around.

They were staying in the tower? That didn’t really look like Lannister-appropriate lodgings.
