Episode 7: You Win or You Die

Ned confronts Cersei about the father of her children and tries to be merciful by telling her she has one day to flee Westeros, confident that Robert will have his back when he returns from the hunt.  Unfortunately Robert is dying when he returns.  Renly advises Ned to join their knights and men to sieze Joffrey and the Red Keep.  Ned rebukes him, instead seeking to ensure the aid of the Gold Cloaks through a promise from Littlefinger.  Is that the wisest thing he's done since coming to King's Landing?  Meanwhile Jon and Sam swear their oaths to become men of the Night's Watch, and Ghost returns from the woods with an odd souvenir.  All this plus a scene lifted from Caligula, discussed in this weeks podcast.
