Thanks to Tommy Arnold for the beautiful illustration of Ned confronting Cersei in the Godswood. You can see more of his work here! https://www.instagram.com/tommyarnoldart/
These chapters are Eddard, Sansa, and Eddard.
These are the chapters in which Eddard decides that he's going to attempt to be merciful, and warn Cersei that she's about to be disgraced so that she can flee the city with her children. He really just does not know who he's dealing with.
Meanwhile, Sansa is in deep denial about who Joffrey really is, even though a part of her seems to know that he's dangerous and terrible. It's awful to watch her gaslight her sister and cling to this fantasy of what life would be like if she got to stay at the Red Keep. I am dreading what comes next.
Thank you all so much for listening, and for bearing with us with all the technical issues we've been having. We love you! See you next week!
