At this point Ned Stark is in the deepest darkest dungeon there is in kings landing after trying to overthrow the lannisters and have the rightful king take control which would be Roberts brother. While he is in the dungeon he is barely being fed and hydrated and has no communication with anyone. Ned starts to loose sight of reality and dreaming because he starts vividly dreaming things as he is awake like he does when he dreams. Varys shows up and starts talking to Ned about the outside and what is happening in the North, the situation with Tyrion, and his daughters. Ned asks why he did not help them and Varys responds with a reasonable answer of being unarmed and that he serves the realm instead of anyone. Varys does give Ned an option to bite his tounge and just acknowledge what Cersei wants.
This chapter is important due to the fact that Ned has a major decision to make to "confess" his wrongs and ruin his name. Also, with this chapter it shows how strong willed Ned is and what he can endure and overcome and pull through. With what Ned chooses will determine his future at the wall or will be dead.
