Basically this whole post explains how "And Now His Watch has Ended" ends, so take care. This is probably over protection on spoilers but better safe than ruin it for someone.
Nothing like knowing a character is going to bite it after a quick, three episode stint. It allows the writers make the character as despicable as possible, so when they kick the bucket, it's as glorious and satisfying for the viewers as possible.
The slave trader spent, well, every bit of dialogue he had to disparage Daenaerys. Thinking she did not understand his language, he called her every name in the book. As though a slave trader needed to be made less likeable*... Daenaerys manages a poker face rivaling Amarillo Slim, not betraying for a moment the language the slaver speaks is actually her native tongue. She then does her best Abraham Lincoln impression by winning her first battle and freeing the slaves. As for the slaver, he's too excited about the dragon he thinks he's acquired to notice Daenareys commanding the slaves. Before they can say "Valyrian steel" the slave army marches on their until-ten-seconds-ago-owners and the slaver is the first of one can assume many victims of Daenreys dragons. It's been 24 episodes and a lot of chopped off heads and limbs, but it's time for the dragons to do their thing.
* There's a new character archetype for you, the slave trader with a heart of gold! He's only trying to make ends meet to feed his kids
