“Do you really think I could ever forgive this man?” Ragnar asked King Horik. Horik is pretty annoyed that Ragnar wants to kill the only man who could help him get revenge on King Ecbert.

Ragnar then gives Borg gruesome details about what he plans on doing with his body. Just as The Seer had predicted, Borg will become an eagle, a bloody one at that, when Ragnar opens up his rib cage like the wings of a bird. Yikes! Remind us not to ever get on Ragnar’s bad side.

In episode 7, Horrik will try to convince Ragnar not to kill Borg. The two will clash regarding how to dispense justice, but it’s clear that the Earl’s mind is already made up.

“Are you going to pursue with the execution of Jarl Borg?” Horik asks in the leaked promo of episode 7.

“I am,” Ragnar bluntly replies.

But Horik will continue his mission of saving Borg’s life. In the trailer, we see Horik visiting Ragnar’s prisoner in a jail cell.

“What would you have me do?” Horik asks Borg, who is anxiously waiting for his execution day.
