"You Win or You Die" is the seventh episode of the first season of Game of Thrones. It is the seventh episode of the series overall. It premiered on May 29, 2011 on HBO. It was written by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, and directed by Daniel Minahan.
At the Lannister camp
On the borders of the Riverlands, Lord Tywin Lannister has assembled an army of sixty thousand men, with which he plans to oppose the Starks and punish Catelyn's capture of his son Tyrion Lannister. As he stands in his tent skinning a dead stag, he tells his elder son, Jaime, that this conflict will decide the fate of their family; they will either forge a dynasty that will last a thousand years or cease to exist, as the Targaryens had done. He orders Jaime to become the man he was meant to be, and to take thirty thousand men and besiege Riverrun, Catelyn's childhood home and the seat of House Tully. Jaime ponders why Tywin would risk so much for the ugly, stunted son that he hates, but to Tywin a Lannister is a Lannister - even though he considers Tyrion the least worthy member of their family, any affront to their family must be punished or it makes them look weak.
At Winterfell
In Winterfell, Theon Greyjoy attempts to bully Osha, the wildling woman captured in the recent raid. He insists that she refer to him as "My Lord", but she is unimpressed with his antics. She points out that he is not entitled to this, as his father is still alive. Maester Luwin dismisses Theon and questions Osha about why her band crossed the Wall and were fleeing "as far south as south goes". She claims that the White Walkers have awoken after a millennia asleep and are coming south, to Luwin's skepticism.
At the Wall
Jon Snow and Samwell Tarly are standing watch atop the Wall when Benjen's horse is spotted returning, but, to Jon's horror, there is no sign of Benjen himself. Later on, Lord Commander Jeor Mormont names the trainees as men of the Night's Watch. He hands out assignments, but to Jon's disgust he is being sent to the stewards, not the rangers. He will work directly for the Lord Commander as his personal steward. His attempts to plead his case to Maester Aemon (who has selected Sam as his own steward) are met with indifference. However, Sam suggests to Jon that while this move was possibly orchestrated by Ser Alliser Thorne to punish Jon, it is also an opportunity for the Lord Commander to groom Jon directly for command. Both are surprised when Pypar admits that he was sent to the Watch for refusing to give sexual favors to a lord, not for stealing a wheel of cheese to feed his sister as he had previously claimed. Nothing about being sent to the Wall is fair. Convinced, Jon, as a worshiper of the Old Gods, is allowed to say his oath of fealty to the Night's Watch in front of a heart tree just inside the eaves of the Haunted Forest. Sam decides to take the oath with Jon, as the Seven gods his father worshiped have never seemed to answer him. Accompanied by Othell Yarwyck and three more brothers of the Watch, Sam and Jon take their oaths, then they are acknowledged by the others as members of the Watch. Ghost finds a severed hand in the woods and brings it back to Jon and a horrified Sam.

Cersei Lannister: "Jaime and I are more than brother and sister. We shared a womb. We belong together."
Cersei: "When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground."
Littlefinger: "You know what I learnt losing that duel? I learnt that I'll never win. Not that way. That's their game, their rules. I'm not going to fight them. I'm going to fuck them. That's what I know, that's what I am, and only by admitting what we are can we get what we want."
Ros: "And what do you want?"
Littlefinger: "Oh, everything, my dear. Everything there is."
Robert Baratheon: "I hereby command Eddard of House Stark to serve as Lord Regent and Protector of the Realm until my son Joffrey comes of age."
•The series and episode take their names from Cersei's phrase "When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die".
•This is the only episode in which the phrase "game of thrones" is spoken on-screen.
•In the novels, the phrase is mentioned not only by Cersei in the parallel book scene, but by other characters as well, among them: Varys, Jorah Mormont, Littlefinger, Stevron Frey, a Liddle, septon Meribald, Tyrion, Doran Martell and Barristan Selmy.
•Some HBO subscribers were able to watch the episode a week early on the HBO Go digital platform.
•The revelation that Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen are not Robert's children means that Robert's younger brother, Stannis Baratheon, is the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. Stannis appears in the second season.
•Renly correctly points out that the line of succession is not the only that counts for becoming a king; Robert was not the Mad King's rightful heir (Rhaegar was), yet he became a king because he seized the Iron Throne by force.
