I have not read the books, nor will I ever do so.

Now, I believe this could be [COULD] be misleading the audience from the truth, I also believe that the poison came from the Pie, not the wine.
... No-one ate the pie, they would not do so until the King did it first, and also let others try it after himself.
... He was poised in continueing his dominance over his brother by belittling him in public

Sansa was lead away because the "Fool" knew something was amiss / or / was it something else

I can elaborate on many things... but... I would like it be known that I am just assuming, and hopefully those other people posting are
just assuming also.

Thank you.

Of course they are just assuming, people can't know who did that. Even if it was in the books or not, they may have changed it in the tv series.

spoiler alert: joffrey suicided

Yea lets just ignore the fact that the same series of event fro mthe book just happened and there was a link posted in this very thread to images from the episode you all just watched to confirm who poisoned him and that was not a damn pie. Quick guise lets all speculate about something that was shown in the episode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whats the iron bank? Was that a metaphor?

It is an actual in the game of thrones story.

The Iron Bank of Braavos is a bank located in Braavos, one of the Free Cities in Essos, across the Narrow Sea. It's a very powerful institute with it's own military and lends money to rulers and rich men all over the world.. It's motto is: "The Iron Bank will have its due."

Dang, now I can not cast affliction to something else, hate it when people post links to spoilers.

Do they play a role in the books or?

I believe they do, but maybe not in the way that you're thinking
